In their own words
Cuppacard
Cuppacard provides digital stamp-and-reward loyalty schemes for independent businesses, including coffee shops, bakeries, barbers, takeaways, and salons. Businesses choose stamp rules and rewards, then brand cards with their logo, colours, and wording. Customers can scan a QR code to add a card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet without installing the Cuppacard app; this wallet option works worldwide and needs no hardware. UK venues can instead use the Cuppacard Tag: customers tap a phone to collect a stamp, with a push notification possible without staff action. The browser-based business dashboard reports stamps, redemptions, and returning customers. Businesses can send offers based on loyalty progress or inactivity; push notifications go to Cuppacard app users. The maker offers iOS and Android apps. The free plan allows up to 15 monthly active users. Cuppacard Plan costs £10 a month for up to 50 users, and Pro costs £20 a month for 51 or more, with unlimited users; both paid plans include a first month free.
SpotOn Restaurant
SpotOn Restaurant is a cloud-based restaurant management system combining point-of-sale, online ordering, reservations, labor management, AI-powered P&L analysis, and integrations. Its POS includes table layouts, menu management, ordering, payments, reporting, and employee tools. SpotOn presents options for full-service restaurants, bars and pubs, and counter service, as well as casual and fine dining, breweries, quick service, fast casual, cafes, and bakeries. The dashboard adds an AI menu assistant, dynamic reporting, marketing campaigns, remote management, multi-location tools, and employee tools. SpotOn Order connects commission-free online ordering to SpotOn POS and the GoTo Place app. Direct delivery integrations include DoorDash and Uber Eats; other delivery platforms are supported through Deliverect. Offline mode is designed to keep stations connected and orders flowing to the kitchen during internet outages, then sync payments when connectivity returns. Users can access the dashboard from a browser on any device. SpotOn says its restaurant POS uses proprietary hardware, so customers cannot use their own POS hardware or tablets. Pricing includes POS Essentials at $55 per station per month, plus implementation, hardware, and processing costs. Support is available 24/7/365 at no extra cost.
