Why Coupons Still Work – Secrets to Creating Irresistible Deals

Why Coupons Are Still a Game-Changer for Restaurants

In a world of loyalty apps and automated marketing, you might think coupons are outdated — but they’re not. Coupons remain one of the most effective ways to drive traffic, increase sales, and build customer loyalty.

Successful restaurants know that a well-designed coupon creates urgency, encourages repeat business, and gets new customers through the door. And with Restro, you can create and automate targeted coupons directly through your restaurant website and mobile app — making it easier than ever to boost sales.

1. Coupons Drive Immediate Action

A limited-time offer creates urgency — and urgency drives action. Offering a “Buy One, Get One Free” or “20% Off This Weekend” deal gives customers a reason to order right away.

Examples of high-performing coupons:

• “Free appetizer with any order over $30 — this weekend only!”
• “10% off your first order when you order through our app.”
• “Spend $25 and get a free dessert — today only!”

Restro makes it easy to create and promote these deals through push notifications, email campaigns, and text messages — driving immediate traffic and sales.

2. Increase Repeat Business with Loyalty-Linked Coupons

Coupons work even better when paired with a restaurant loyalty program. For example, offering “double points” for orders on a slow day or a free dessert after five orders keeps customers engaged and coming back.

Restro’s app allows you to track customer orders and link coupons directly to your loyalty program — encouraging repeat business and boosting customer retention.

3. Personalize Offers Based on Customer Behavior

Successful restaurants don’t send the same coupon to everyone. Restro’s dashboard tracks customer behavior and order history, so you can create targeted offers that match customer preferences.

For example:

• If a customer orders pizza often, send them a coupon for a free topping or a discount on their next pizza order.
• If a customer hasn’t ordered in a while, send a “We miss you!” coupon with a small discount.
• Offer exclusive coupons for high-spending customers to keep them loyal.

With Restro, you can automate these personalized coupons, ensuring customers get the right offer at the right time.

4. Promote Coupons Directly Through Your App and Website

Having a coupon is one thing — promoting it is another. Restro allows you to feature coupons directly on your restaurant website and mobile app, making it easy for customers to see and redeem offers.

You can also send push notifications and text messages to alert customers about limited-time offers — increasing visibility and driving more orders.

5. Keep More Profit with Direct Orders

When you offer coupons through a third-party platform like Uber Eats, you lose a big chunk of the profit to commission fees. By offering coupons through your own app and website, you keep more of the revenue while still giving customers a great deal.

Restro’s online ordering system ensures that your coupons drive direct orders — increasing your margins and reducing dependence on third-party platforms.
