In this episode of Big Ideas For Restaurants, host Sam Young sits down with Eric Herman, founder of Big Ideas AI, to reveal a breakthrough loyalty solution built specifically for independent restaurant owners: the restaurant digital punch card that runs automatically, builds your customer list, and keeps guests coming back again and again.
Forget the old-school paper cards. This digital punch card for restaurants is: ✅ 100% mobile ✅ Fully automated ✅ Easy to install—no POS integration required ✅ And ready to drive repeat business on day one
Here’s how it works:
Guests scan a QR code
Enter their mobile number
Earn a point every visit
Hit 10 points and redeem a reward
Get follow-up texts, offers, and updates—automatically
The best part? You now own a direct line to your customer base with real-time insights and promotions that drive ROI—without ads, apps, or friction.
