Why Every Restaurant Needs a CRM in 2024

Most restaurants focus entirely on getting new customers. The smarter play is retaining existing ones.

The Math Is Simple

Acquiring a new customer costs 5x more than retaining an existing one. A customer who visits twice a month generates 24x the annual revenue of a one-time visitor.

What a Restaurant CRM Does

A restaurant CRM stores and uses customer data to:

  • Remember their preferences and allergies
  • Send birthday offers automatically
  • Identify customers who haven't visited in 30+ days (churn risk)
  • Run targeted campaigns (e.g., "Monday lunch deals" to office workers)
  • Build a loyalty points program that incentivises repeat visits
  • Real Results From Covixo CRM

    One of our customers, Cafe Aroma in Mumbai, saw their repeat customer rate go from 22% to 64% in 6 months after implementing Covixo's CRM and loyalty program.

    Their strategy:

    1. Enrolled customers in a points program at checkout

    2. Set up automated birthday messages with a 20% discount

    3. Created a "Come Back" campaign for customers inactive for 45+ days

    4. Launched a referral program with points for each successful referral
