Put the QR code where guests are sitting
Stick it on the table, the pool table rail, the salon mirror — wherever guests linger. Staff never have to ask anyone anything.
Features
In-venue check-in: the whole table joins , not just whoever pays
Check-in lets anyone sitting in your venue scan a QR code to become a member and get a welcome reward, with no receipt required — plus a streak bonus for consecutive days.
NO CASHIER
Updated August 2026 — Check-in lets guests join your loyalty program without being the one who pays: anyone in your venue scans a table QR code and becomes a member instantly, with a welcome reward waiting. A table of four all join, not just the one holding the bill.

Quick facts
- Who can join
- Anyone present in the venue — not necessarily the one paying.
- How to join
- Scan the QR code at the table or counter to get a membership card on WhatsApp.
- Two reward layers
- A first-time welcome reward, plus a bonus for consecutive check-in days.
- Staff effort
- None — no phone numbers to collect, no manual entry.
How it works
Guests scan and become members, welcome reward included
After scanning, guests see their own membership card on WhatsApp: points, tier, vouchers. A welcome reward lands in their wallet on the first scan.
Coming back to scan again earns a streak bonus
Every day a guest checks in adds a link to the chain. Longer streaks earn bigger rewards, so guests have a reason to come in on ordinary days, not just weekends.
Which venues this fits best
- Billiards, karaoke, music boxes, pubs & bars — one table, many people, one bill.
- Pizza, hotpot & BBQ, group dining spots — guests arrive in parties of 3–6.
- Pickleball clubs, gaming lounges, any venue where guests stay a while and return often.
Check your own venue
- Count last night's receipts, then estimate how many people actually walked in. How far apart are those numbers?
- Did last week's new members equal at least a third of your foot traffic?
- If a guest isn't the one paying, does your venue have any way to capture them today?
What this does not solve on its own
- Check-in widens who can join but doesn't by itself tell you how much guests spend — pair it with receipt scanning so every member also carries spend data.
- A streak bonus can be gamed by someone who scans without buying anything — rate limits and risk controls run on every check-in by default.
- A poorly placed QR code gets almost no scans — this page includes placement tips by venue type, and you can move it anytime.
Questions owners ask
Can a guest really join without paying?
Yes. Check-in isn't tied to a bill. Anyone present in your venue scans the code, becomes a member, gets a welcome reward, and can see their own points. That's the core difference from programs anchored to a payment transaction.
Won't that mean rewards get handed out too freely?
No — the welcome reward is set by you (usually a small item or a next-visit voucher), and every check-in runs through hourly and daily rate limits. Both the reward and the limits are adjustable.
How does the streak bonus work?
Every check-in day counts as a link in the chain. You set the milestones — say, 3 days, 7 days — and the reward for each. A broken streak resets, and guests get a reminder before it breaks.
What do staff need to do?
Nothing extra. No asking for phone numbers, no manual entry, no looking up points for a guest. That's exactly why check-in doesn't collapse during rush hour the way counter sign-ups do.
Do I need to switch POS systems?
No. PEKO runs alongside your existing POS. Check-in is a separate layer on top, so KiotViet, StoreHub, Loyverse, or whatever you use stays exactly as is.
The PEKO ecosystem
PEKO and LOOP are two products from the same company. PEKO is the AI retention layer and runs alongside the POS you already use. LOOP is the AI-native POS that covers operations: recipe-level inventory, staff shifts, table plans and the kitchen display. Each works on its own, and run together they share one dataset, so nothing has to be entered twice. See PEKO + LOOP in one ecosystem
