Background

The Loyal Cast app launched in 2018 as a restaurant invitation tool for mobile with an emphasis on customer retention and loyalty.

Realising the immediate need for restaurants to generate positive cash flow and to offer customers a touchless meal pick up experience, we pivoted Loyal Cast to serve both of these urgent needs.

Restaurants, craft breweries, cafés, and food trucks can now benefit from our easy to use online dashboard software and free mobile app to manage the essential aspects of prefix meal customer pick up.

Consumers looking for a touchless meal pick up option can purchase meal codes from participating restaurants and then select which prefix meals they would like to redeem their codes for through the app.

Core Values

Consumer privacy, convenience, and reliability drive our core values. We are commited to deliver a state of the art mobile user experience that suits the needs of owners and their customers.
