HONG KONG – 2 July 2025 – meed, the innovative loyalty platform that's turning the traditional model on its head, today announced the official launch of 'Check-in for Bars', a brand-new, hassle-free solution designed specifically for independent bars, pubs, and nightlife venues. This new offering empowers establishments to effortlessly transform their regulars into loyal members, fostering genuine customer engagement without the usual faff.
"For too long, loyalty programmes have been a bit of a headache, both for businesses and their patrons," said Phil Ingram, Founder & CEO of meed. "Printed cards are forgotten, apps are rarely downloaded, and the whole experience can feel a bit... fragmented. With 'Check-in for Bars', we're cutting through that noise, providing a simple, elegant solution that truly benefits everyone."
'Check-in for Bars' addresses the critical need for a streamlined loyalty experience in the fast-paced F&B and hospitality sector. Designed with simplicity at its core, bars can set up their loyalty programme in mere minutes, requiring no complex integrations or hefty upfront costs.
Customers can join instantly by simply scanning a QR code or tapping an NFC chip with their phone – no app downloads required. This means a seamless, one-login experience for consumers, putting all their meed loyalty memberships in one convenient digital wallet.
This initial launch brings robust capabilities for bars to:
Offer digital stamp cards: A modern take on the classic, ensuring customers never lose their progress towards a free drink or exclusive perk.
Run their program hands free: Customers do the work by checking in
Deliver instant rewards: Easily distribute discounts, free items, or event passes directly to members.
Gain actionable insights: Understand customer behaviour and preferences (without sharing personally identifiable data) to tailor promotions effectively.
Looking ahead, meed will be rolling out further exciting features for 'Check-in for Bars' in upcoming iterations, including advanced personalisation capabilities powered by AI and opportunities for venues to collaborate on joint promotions, creating even greater value for their shared customers.
Checkin for Bars is completely free to use for the first 50 members of the program. You only need to pay for pro when you have more than 50 members. This provides a risk-free opportunity for venues to experience the power of meed and see the immediate impact on customer engagement and retention.
meed is redefining loyalty by putting the customer first, solving the widespread problem of fragmented loyalty programmes and app fatigue. With 'Check-in for Bars', meed continues its mission to make loyalty effortless, rewarding, and accessible for businesses of all sizes.
