Taco Look at Me Now is a mobile food truck serving up tacos across different locations and venues. As a mobile business, their biggest challenge was letting customers know where they'd be each day — loyal fans would often miss them or simply forget to check. With a digital loyalty card in Apple and Google Wallet, customers always carry the taco truck in their pocket. The "nearby" reminder pings customers when they're just a minute's walk away, and location-based push notifications tell fans exactly where to find them — "5-9pm today at Arundel Taphouse!" — bringing crowds of customers back every time they set up. Collect 10 stamps and get a free taco keeps them coming back for more.

ReturnKit gives Taco Look at Me Now the same loyalty tools used by big brands like:

Matcha Angels serves premium matcha from their Brighton stall in Churchill Square shopping centre. Before ReturnKit, most customers were one-time visitors — they loved the product but simply forgot to come back. With a digital loyalty card in Apple and Google Wallet, Matcha Angels now keeps their brand on every customer's phone and sends targeted push notifications to bring them back. The "nearby" reminder — an iPhone message that pings customers when they're just a minute's walk away — has been a game-changer, bringing so many customers back through the door who would have walked straight past otherwise.

K Nails built a loyal local following, but with no way to stay in touch between visits, clients would drift to nearby salons or simply forget to rebook. With a digital loyalty card in Apple and Google Wallet, K Nails now keeps their salon on every client's phone and sends targeted push notifications for rebooking reminders and last-minute appointment openings — filling chairs that used to sit empty. The "nearby" reminder — an iPhone message that pings clients when they're just a minute's walk away — has brought so many customers back, catching them at exactly the right moment to pop in.

❤️ What our customers say

Local business owners love ReturnKit.

"We used to really concentrate on getting new customers. Since we launched our ReturnKit loyalty stamp card, repeat visits are up massively, and our regulars actually look forward to hitting their stamp target. It runs itself. We are making more money and we don't feel like we need to be chasing new customers all the time."

☕

Happy Cafe

Owner

"As a mobile Juice Bar we move around and ReturnKit has been amazing for us. We can tell our customers where we are going to be. It's been a game changer for us. No more hoping customers turn up. We send out a push message in 5 seconds to all our customers and they flock back! It was all set up for us. We are having our best summer yet. Highly recommend. I thought perhaps we were too small for ReturnKit - but not at all."

Carmella Juice Bar

Owner

"As an independent boutique we can't compete with the big brands on advertising spend. ReturnKit gave us something we didn't expect — not just a stamp loyalty card but a direct line to our best customers. Our flash sale push notifications sell out in hours now. Also, because we are off the beaten track, we get customers when they receive a message when they are 1 minute's walk away. Our revenue has gone up over 2x."

👗

Lola

Owner

"Before ReturnKit we relied on walk-ins and the occasional phone call to fill cancellations. Now our clients carry our loyalty card in their wallet and get a gentle nudge when it's time to rebook. Last-minute openings get filled within an hour from a single push notification. Our chairs are full and our regulars never forget us anymore. It's honestly the best thing we've done for the salon."
