Loyalty & Stamp Card Maker
A stamp card with too few stamps quietly eats into your margin; with too many, nobody ever fills one. Enter what you're giving away and what it costs you, and the tool works out how many stamps a guest needs — so every finished card costs you exactly what you decided it should.
How it works
- 1
Pick what you're giving away
A free coffee, dessert or main course — and what it actually costs YOU to make, not what you charge for it. That gap is where every stamp-card miscalculation starts.
- 2
Enter your average spend and your target
What a guest typically spends per visit, and the share of revenue you're willing to give away on loyalty — 5% is a common starting point. Already using the daily close tool? One click fills in your measured average.
- 3
The tool works out the stamp count
The smallest number of stamps that keeps your reward inside your target. Type in a different number yourself — say, ten looks better than seven — and you'll see exactly what that actually costs you.
- 4
Print your punch cards
One sheet with eight cut-out cards, plus a staff rules sheet with the numbers already worked out — so a new waiter can explain the program correctly without doing the maths themselves.
Frequently asked questions
Is this free?
Yes, completely free, no account needed. Everything stays in your own browser.
How many stamps should a loyalty card have?
That depends on what you're giving away and what you get back for it — not on what feels standard. This tool works it out from the cost of your reward, your average spend per guest and the share of revenue you're willing to give to loyalty.
What's a healthy percentage to give away?
Most independents aim for somewhere between two and five percent of the revenue a loyalty guest brings in. Lower than that and nobody bothers filling the card; higher and the card quietly eats into your margin.
Can I choose a different stamp count than the suggestion?
Yes — just type it in. The tool then shows exactly what share of revenue that choice actually gives away, so it's a deliberate decision instead of a guess.
Does this work with a digital stamp card or an app too?
The numbers do — the cost math doesn't change whether a guest carries a paper card or uses an app. This tool prints the paper card; the calculation behind it applies to either.
This is a house document, not legal advice. Validity periods, expiry rules and mandatory disclosures on a loyalty or stamp card differ per country — check your own consumer-protection rules before putting the card into circulation.
