This section is the settings that control the loyalty points. It is located under the Customers tab, and must be turned on in Customers->Settings. All of these settings are superseded by the “Loyalty Points Needed” in each recipe. The ways to configure loyalty points for a restaurant:
Price multiplier
This is the dollar value for every time a customer accumulates points on their card. The smaller the multiplier, the more money they need to spend for 1 point. The mathematical equation is the number of dollars the end customer spends x the Price Multiplier = 1 point. IE:
The easiest way to figure this out is to take the number of dollars spent and divide one by it ( 1 point ÷ X Dollars spent = price multiplier).
Price Rounding Method
Round: Regular mathematical rounding, .49 is rounded down and anything above is rounded up. If $1 earns 1 point and a customer spends $1.39, they will get 1 point. If the customer spends $1.57, they will earn 2 points.
Floor: This method rounds everything down to the whole dollar. If $1 = 1 point and a customer spends $1.39 or $1.97 they will receive 1 point.
Ceiling: This method rounds everything up to the whole dollar. If $1 = 1 point and a customer spends $1.03 or $1.58, they will earn 2 points.
Points per Visit
For every customer visit, they receive a certain amount of points.
Visit minimum purchase
This will qualify the customer to receive the points per visit if they meet or exceed the value entered. (For example: If points per visit is set to 1 and the minimum purchase is set at $3.00, then in order to receive 1 point, the customer’s order needs to be $3.00 or more.)
Activation Points
The number of points earned when the end customer activates a loyalty account
Birthday Points
The number of points earned on an end customer's birthday
Account Anniversary Points
The number of points earned on them yearly anniversary that the end user signed up for loyalty
Partial Loyalty On Comp
This check box allows for loyalty points to be awarded to the non-comped amount of an order. It is default set up to not apply any loyalty to orders with comps.
Partial Loyalty Rounding method
•Round: Regular mathematical rounding, .49 is rounded down and anything above is rounded up. If $1 earns 1 point and a customer spends $1.39, they will get 1 point. If the customer spends $1.57, they will earn 2 points.
•Floor: This method rounds everything down to the whole dollar. If $1 = 1 point and a customer spends $1.39 or $1.97 they will receive 1 point.
•Ceiling: This method rounds everything up to the whole dollar. If $1 = 1 point and a customer spends $1.03 or $1.58, they will earn 2 points.
Redemption Price Multiplier
This is the number of points that are needed to be multiplied by the value amount to redeem. Here, the larger the number, the less value each point has. IE:
•To redeem $20 x Redemption Price Multiplier [1], it costs 20 points
•To redeem $1 x RPM [1] , it costs 1 point
•To redeem $1 x RPM [5] , it costs 5 points Ordyx Confidential
•To redeem $20 x RPM [20], it costs 400 points
•To redeem $20 x RPM [.5], it costs 10 points. This is giving money away!!!
The redeem value does not much matter here. It can be any amount. This just shows the user how to figure out the value of the RPM. To figure out how to convert a dollar value to per point, take that dollar value and divide it into 1. IE: for a point to be worth $0.05, the user would take 1 ÷ .05 and that = 20 and that is the RPM.
Redemption Price Rounding Method Round, Floor and Ceiling as above.
Points Threshold Message
This is the level of points that the end customer has earned and will prompt the employee with a message to let the end customer know that they have earned that amount.
