The Bar Card Mark PhelpsGreen Group
Problem • 2 fold: • Bars want as many patrons as possible, and for those patrons to spend as much as possible. • Customers want to keep track of how much money they are spending so that they are not surprised by an outrageous tab.
Solution • Introducing the ‘Bar Card’ • A VIP Card given to customers who opt in. • Customers sign up for the card with their name and email address. • Given a Bar Card to keep in their wallets and to be swiped by the bartender when they order drinks.
Solution • Card uses RFID to link to customer database that keeps track of how much money the customer has spent. • Can show how much customer has spent over the course of one night, the week, the month, or overall. • Allows bars to see who is spending the most money and on what.
Solution • Customer can also see how much he/she has spent throughout the night. • RFID enabled kiosks placed throughout the bar display tab balance, drinks ordered, and points accrued. • This solution is already in place in modern casinos, but is used for gambling.
Points • Customers gain points for spending a certain amount of money or for ordering a certain type of drink that the bar is promoting. • Points allow customers to receive specials that those without the card would not receive (i.e. discounted drinks, VIP Parties, etc).
Advantages for Bar • Allows for more effective marketing strategy. • Bar has customer’s email address in order to inform them about upcoming promotions. • Card encourages customers to order more drinks in order to gain better rewards.
Advantages for Bar Patrons • No longer have to wonder “How much is my tab going to be?” • Gives them a better representation of how much they have drank. (i.e. “Wow I’ve had 8 drinks in the past 2 hours.. I really need to slowdown.”)
