Hospo Solutions vs SpenVest

Hospo Solutions is a white-label platform for restaurants, bars, and hospitality groups, combining loyalty rewards, table bookings, CRM automation, and merchant analytics. Customers can use the full branded platform or a headless loyalty engine through a REST API and webhooks. The loyalty engine supports points, stamps, multi-tier rewards, personalized offers, and automated reward triggers. Its reservation system shows real-time availability and provides automated confirmations and no-show protection. CRM tools cover customer segmentation, voucher campaigns, and automated marketing. Reports include AI-generated insights, app-store usage, revenue, loyalty performance, customer cohorts, and booking conversion. The platform supports Android, iOS, web, and API; its multi-tenant architecture is described as supporting unlimited venues and groups. Loyalty is EPOS integration ready, and app-store usage data comes from the App Store and Google Play. A bespoke app add-on includes a digital membership pass, points, tiers, rewards, in-app booking, push notifications, and campaign targeting. Core pricing is on request; a free trial is available, but there is no free plan. Optional add-ons include Hospo Builder at £100 a month, Managed Website at £200 a month, and Bespoke App Addition at £500 a month with a 12-month minimum term.

SpenVest connects eligible restaurant sales to digital rewards while letting businesses keep their existing POS. Its Rewards Engine supports points, stamps, store value credit, cashback, reward thresholds, campaigns, bonus rules, redemption authorisations and refund reversals. A merchant dashboard shows reward members, recent activity and redemption history. Square supports sales, refunds and product catalogue data; Shopify POS and Clover support sales and refunds. Merchants can also send authenticated sale and refund events through the API, with signed webhooks for connected workflows. Eligible products can use an online catalogue and checkout for click and collect or local delivery. Payments are processed by the merchant's connected payment provider and paid to a configured merchant-owned account; SpenVest says it does not hold sales revenue. The company says it is built for Australian independent businesses and that coverage of participating merchants is expanding across Australia. Its free Connect plan supports one location but does not calculate rewards. The Rewards Engine costs $39 a month, billed monthly per location and excluding GST. The listed platforms include Android, iOS, web and API.
