Slant Loyalty vs SpenVest

Slant Loyalty is a loyalty feature in Slant POS for restaurant customers. Restaurants set a reward percentage on purchases; customers who join earn points on orders and can later convert them into discounts. Staff can enroll customers and enter their details in the POS during a sale, so points can accrue on the first purchase. Customers can check their remaining balance on printed or emailed receipts. Restaurants can use the program across their locations and chains, and a loyalty report provides real-time information about program performance, sales impact, and loyal customers. Slant says basic loyalty functionality is included in Slant POS without extra apps, equipment, or fees. The service is available on Android and the web, and includes points rewards and offer campaigns. The Free Forever plan is free and includes 100 orders per month, limited invoices, and email support. The Paid plan is $32 a year, billed per month per outlet billed annually, and includes unlimited invoices, loyalty, support seven days a week, and remote setup and onboarding. A 14-day trial is listed.

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.
