For bars, restaurants, salons, gyms, shops & services

Know your regulars.
Bring them back.

Most customers visit once and you never hear from them again. BarChata turns every visit into a customer you can recognise, reward and invite back — without a new card, app or system for your staff to learn.

The problem

You work hard to get customers in the door. Then they disappear.

01

You don't know who came in

Card payments and walk-ins leave no name, no history and no way to say thank you.

02

You can't invite them back

Without a way to reach past customers, every slow day starts from zero.

03

Your best customers look like everyone else

The person who visits every week gets the same treatment as a first-timer — until they stop coming.

How it works

Up and running in a day. Customers coming back in a week.

No hardware to buy. No cards to print. Your customers check in with their phone; you see who they are.

Claim your business

Find your business in the directory and claim it. We verify you run it, usually within one business day.

Free · about 2 minutes

Customers check in and earn Hearts

They scan your QR code at the counter and earn Hearts, BarChata's rewards, for every visit. You see each customer and their visit history.

Works with any phone

Bring them back

Send offers to people who haven't visited in a while, reward your regulars, and fill your slow days — by text, email or in-app.
