CUSTOMER REWARDS · RESTAURANT RETENTION

The bill is paid. Give them a reason to come back.

Nuru Kitchen connected completed restaurant visits to time-bound return rewards — creating a simple reason for customers to make their next visit sooner.

THE REALITY

The best time to earn the next visit is when this one ends.

A customer has eaten, paid and had the full Nuru experience. That's a valuable moment: the relationship is warm, but the next visit hasn't been decided.

Nuru uses the completed bill as the trigger for a simple return offer — giving an eligible customer a clear reason to visit again within a defined period.

THE CHALLENGE

A great dinner doesn't automatically create the next booking.

Restaurants already have natural customer moments — reservation, arrival, order, payment and departure.

Nuru needed a mechanic that used one of those existing moments to create a specific, measurable reason to return — without adding a new loyalty currency or replacing their systems.

The model needed to do three things:

Start from a real transactionOnly eligible completed visits trigger the programme.
Create urgencyA defined redemption window gives the reward a purpose.
Fit around existing operationsNuru keeps their booking, POS and customer systems while RibiRewards operates the reward layer.

FROM ACTION TO REWARD

One completed bill. One reason to return.

TIME-BOUND REWARDS

Not just a reward. A reason to return within a specific window.

Nuru can define when the reward becomes usable, when it expires and any qualifying condition. The incentive is designed around the behaviour the restaurant actually wants to encourage.

WHAT THE PROGRAMME CAN SEE

The return mechanic can change without changing the infrastructure.

Nuru can define when the reward becomes usable, what it's worth and any qualifying condition — the incentive is designed around the behaviour the restaurant actually wants to encourage.

WHAT THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES

Dinner tonight. Something to look forward to next time.

The customer gets a straightforward offer linked to their recent visit — what they've received, when they can use it and when it expires. No points balance to understand, no generic loyalty currency required.
