When to keep Idle loyalty
- You are on Idle's Grow plan and loyalty is already included.
- You rely on Idle's AI WhatsApp agent to reply to and book clients.
When to add PEKO
- Receipt Scan Loyalty: Guests snap the receipt Idle prints and points land in seconds, cash payers included. Nobody at the counter types a phone number at peak hour.
- Group Check-In: Everyone at the table scans one QR, about 10 seconds each. A table of four becomes four members, not just the one who pays.
- AI Agent: Type "20% off for regulars who haven't visited in 3 weeks, WhatsApp only" and the AI Agent builds the voucher, segment and campaign. You click Approve.
Running both without confusing customers
- Switch off the Idle points scheme, or keep it for card payers only.
- Show one clear reward on the table and the receipt.
- Import your Idle members with a CSV file, so existing members never sign up twice.
Works with Idle: setup in 15 minutes
PEKO is a loyalty and rebooking add-on that runs alongside Idle in Singapore. No integration or Idle marketplace install is needed: put the PEKO QR at your counter, export your Idle client list and import it into PEKO by CSV, then let the AI Agent set up rebooking reminders.
- Step 1
Put the PEKO QR at the counter and mirror
Clients snap the receipt or scan after the appointment; friends who came along join with Group Check-In.
- Step 2
Import your Idle client list by CSV
Export clients from your booking app and import the file; existing clients never sign up twice.
- Step 3
Set rebooking windows
By service cycle, e.g. nails about 3 to 4 weeks, lash refills about 2 to 3 weeks.
- Step 4
Send the first AI Agent campaign
E.g. “Remind lash clients 18 days after their last set, WhatsApp only, free lash bath for rebooking this week”. Check the draft, approve.

Rebooking cycles
Typical guidance only: every client's hair, nails and skin differ, so set your own timing from your booking history. The AI Agent can time a reminder just before each window.
| Service | Typical rebooking window | Reminder idea |
|---|---|---|
| Nails (gel, extensions) | About 3 to 4 weeks | Remind around week 3 |
| Lash refills | About 2 to 3 weeks | Remind around day 18 |
| Facials | About 4 weeks | Remind around week 4 |
| Hair colour | About 6 to 8 weeks | Remind around week 6 |
PEKO includes online appointment booking with staff calendars and automatic reminders, alongside Receipt Scan loyalty, Group Check-In and the AI Agent, so a salon or spa can take bookings and bring clients back from one place. “Remind lash clients 18 days after their last set, WhatsApp only, free lash bath for rebooking this week”.
PEKO pricing: free up to 300 members, then S$49/month on the Standard plan, 0% commission, cancel anytime.
Questions owners ask
- Is there a loyalty add-on that works with Idle?
- Yes. PEKO works alongside Idle without an integration: clients snap their receipt or scan the counter QR, and the AI Agent sets up rebooking and win-back campaigns. PEKO also includes online appointment booking with staff calendars and automatic reminders, if you later want one system. Free up to 300 members, then S$49/month, 0% commission.
- Does PEKO integrate with Idle?
- It does not need to. PEKO does not read Idle data; guests snap the Idle receipt or scan the table QR, so the counter stays exactly as it is.
- Can I import my Idle members?
- Yes. Export your member list from Idle and import the CSV into PEKO.
- Will my cashier have to do anything?
- No. Guests scan the QR or snap the receipt on their own phone.
- What does it cost on top of Idle?
- Free up to 300 members, then S$49/month, 0% commission, cancel anytime. Your Idle subscription stays as it is.
- Does receipt-scan loyalty miss transactions?
- Receipt Scan records every sale a guest chooses to claim, whatever the payment method, including cash and e-wallets that payment-linked loyalty misses. Guests are prompted by the QR on the receipt and the table, Group Check-In enrols everyone at the table, and the AI Agent can send a reminder to members who stop claiming.

No POS yet? Open with LOOP
PEKO adds retention to the POS you already run. If you have not picked a POS yet, LOOP is the AI POS from the same company: the two share one dataset, so nothing is entered twice.
