With the implementations CRM a restaurant owner will be able to manage his customers more effectively.

Loyalty-A very important CRM technique is the Loyalty -. Customers will be offered loyalty cards, or internet equivalent personal identifiers, on which they are given points when they spend money.

The points may be accumulated and then redeemed against goods or services. The system may be as simple as issuing points at a given rate, e.g. 1 point per pound spent, and redeeming against a broad catalog of gifts.

The purpose of the loyalty points is to encourage a customer to choose you over a competitor because they know they will get points which they can later exchange for something they would like.


The clever business owner then starts to look at the information that his loyalty program is bringing in about the behaviour of his customer base. If the program has been designed well and the data has been collected in a sensible way, there is a wealth of information that can help you understand customers.

Segmentation-Most customers can be segmented according to the frequency of their visit and the value of their spend. In its most coarse resolution, this gives a graph with 4 regions corresponding to the following:

Customers who visit infrequently and don't spend much when they do
Customers who visit frequently but don't spend much

Customers who visit infrequently but spend well when they do visit

Customers who visit frequently and spend well each time. Have servers collent the following information

"What's your name?" and "Where are you calling from?" and
"What's your pet's name?"

Report out only the data you use, and use the data you report. Just because your CRM tool can run a report doesn't mean it should. Refer back to your CRM strategy, and then run the data you will actually use. And share that data with your team.

Having identified four segments, the retailer must now create a strategy to migrate customers towards the High Value-High frequency segment and retain those already there.

To increase the frequency of a customers visit, you might issue them a token which is only valid for a limited period.

If you want to increase the value of their purchase, offer a promotion that is dependent on purchase value e.g. a gas company might offer a money off voucher to customers who spend more than a certain amount on gasoline. In that particular market, the behaviour is quite easy to identify and use. Many people put $10-$30 gas in their car.

A voucher that gets issued when they spend more than $___ will push a large amount of that user group into the next segment of purchase value. Having issued a token, the customer will want to spend it, so they are more likely to return. This will increase their loyalty and will also increase their frequency if they were previously less than 100% loyal.

There are many techniques that can be employed to migrate customers to more valuable segments and retain those already there.

A CRM consultancy company that can analyze the market and make recomendations to help you select techniques and form your strategy.

With this information , when a customer arrives, you have saved their favorite table, greeted them by name and asked if they would like their favourite wine. you may offer greater flexibility in menu and have some suggestions that will suit their tastes. you may offer complimentary drinks or dishes to make his regulars feel especially valued. As a result, the customer will visit regularly and tip well.

Customer Service is important in any sector these days to retain clients. To apply CRM-Ensure that staff is well trained in dealing with clients, provide right information and inform about the time that would be taken to serve the dish. After meal is over, client can be requested to fill up a feedback form where they can give details about ambience of restaurant, quality, service standards, background music and any other usp of the restaurant. Take details of the birthday and offer them a special discount if any of their family member celebrates their birthday or anniversary at your restaurant. This will increase your clients and send a e-card on their email id on their birthday. This can be great way to implement CRM.
