The digital loyalty software
for your bakery

Between 7 and 9am, you don't have two minutes to spare for a stamp. EasyFid credits the visit in 2 seconds from the phone sitting by the till, and the customer's card lives in their Wallet β€” not at the bottom of a purse.

In brief β€” EasyFid is loyalty software for bakeries and pastry shops, starting at €9.99/month. The quirk of the trade: the average basket runs €4 to €7, but a regular stops by five to seven times a week. A visit-based program like "10th visit free" therefore closes in two to three weeks, which makes the reward visible very fast. The customer scans the counter's QR code once, their card installs into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, and your staff then validates each visit with a tap β€” adding nothing to the checkout motion.

Built for a bakery's pace

Three rushes a day, a €4 ticket, two sales shifts: the software has to disappear behind the counter, not add to the list of things to manage.

πŸ“·

One tap between two baguettes

The phone stays by the till. Your staff frames the customer's code while the baguette goes into the bag: the visit is credited before the change is handed back.

πŸ₯–

A cycle calibrated for a €4 ticket

Counting points on €3.80 of bread makes no sense. A visit-based program β€” the 10th or 12th visit free β€” fits the trade: two to three weeks for a daily regular.

πŸ₯§

A reward chosen from the pastry case

You decide the reward. A pastry or a slice of tart costs far less margin than a free loaf, while making the customer happier.

πŸ’³

The card stays in the phone

The 7:20am customer has neither a cardboard card nor patience. Their card lives in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet: nothing to pull out, nothing to hunt for, nothing to reprint when it tears.

πŸ‘₯

Morning shift, evening shift

The Pro plan opens up to 3 staff accounts on top of yours. Each staff member scans from their own phone, without seeing or changing the program's settings.

πŸ“Š

Spot the regulars who are drifting away

At a bakery, a customer who hasn't come by in ten days has probably switched sides of the street. The dashboard and Excel export show you who's drifted.

Up and running before the second batch

The best time to set up EasyFid is the 10am lull or your day off. Count on fifteen minutes, not a full day.

1

Set the cycle and the reward

Bakery name, number of visits before a reward, the reward itself. Many bakers start with 10 visits and a pastry of the customer's choice.

2

Put the QR code by the scale

Print the code, slip it into a small stand next to the till or card reader. That's where the customer waits for their change β€” that's where they'll scan it.

3

Make it the last-customer habit

The habit forms in two shifts. Staff offer the scan at the end of checkout, and the visit count then takes care of itself.

The challenges of loyalty in an artisan bakery

A regular is worth far more than they look

Do the math on the back of a bag: a loaf and a croissant in the morning, bread in the evening, a tart on Sunday. At roughly €4 to €7 per visit, six visits a week, fifty weeks a year β€” the customer next door leaves you a bit over €1,200 a year. Nobody thinks that way behind the counter, because you ring up €3.80 and move to the next person. That's exactly the trap of the trade: a customer's value is invisible at the scale of a single ticket and enormous at the scale of a year. A loyalty program at a bakery isn't there to make people buy more β€” the customer isn't going to eat two baguettes β€” it's there to protect that €1,200 of regularity. The right question isn't "what does it cost me to give away a pastry every ten visits," it's "what does it cost me to lose two regulars a month without noticing."

Three rushes a day, and a Sunday morning apart

A bakery doesn't run on one continuous day but on three peaks: 7-9am for commuters and school bags, the lunch rush for sandwiches and fresh bread, then 5-7pm as schools and offices let out. During those windows, one extra second per customer shows up as a line on the sidewalk. That's exactly why the cardboard stamp card no longer works: the stamping, the search through the wallet, the "I left it at home," all of it adds ten to twenty seconds per customer β€” several minutes total over the rush. Sunday morning, by contrast, runs at a different pace: the customer takes their time, buys bread, pastries, and a tart, and the ticket often climbs to €15 or €25. It's the best moment of the week to offer sign-up to a new customer β€” their hands are free, their phone is within reach, and they have twenty seconds to spare. Many bakers, in fact, concentrate their customer-base growth on Sundays and holiday-cake days.

The chains have their app, you have your ovens

The real competitor to an artisan bakery is no longer just the one 300 meters away: it's the industrial bakery chains and baking terminals, which open early, close late, and arrive with a polished loyalty app and a marketing budget. You can't beat them on the price of a baguette, and you don't have to β€” but leaving loyalty to the chains alone hands them the one field where you started ahead: the relationship with the customer. What's left is calibrating the reward without shooting yourself in the foot. Bread is your loss-leader, the product whose margin has been tightest since flour and energy prices rose: giving away a loaf is giving away raw margin. A pastry, a slice of tart, a coffee on Saturday, or a brioche during school holidays cost less in real terms and are perceived as a genuine gift. Same logic applies to seasonality: a customer who racked up visits in November is exactly who you offer a slice of galette to in January, or a Yule log reservation in December.

FAQ β€” Bakery and customer loyalty

Can the scan keep up with the 7-9am rush?

The scan itself takes under two seconds and happens during the dead time of checkout, while you hand back change or wait for the card reader. In practice, it adds no step to the line: the phone stays by the till, the customer presents their Wallet card, it's validated. The real time savings are elsewhere: you remove the search for the cardboard card, the hunt for the stamp, and the ten-second chat about the card left at home. For signing up a new customer, which takes about twenty seconds, it's better to offer it off-peak β€” Sunday morning or the mid-afternoon lull.

With a €4 average ticket, should I use a visit-based or a points program?

Visit-based, in the vast majority of bakeries. A points scale on €3-7 tickets produces numbers nobody tracks: the customer will never know if they're at 38 or 44 points. Counting visits, on the other hand, reads at a glance on the Wallet card. Ten or twelve visits before a reward is the right ballpark: a daily regular gets there in two to three weeks, which makes the mechanic credible right away. A points program still makes sense if you have a large custom-order pastry or catering business, where tickets range from €5 to €60 and counting visits would be unfair to bigger baskets.

What reward can I offer without eating into my bread margin?

Avoid giving away the loaf. It's your loss-leader, the product whose margin has been tightest since flour and energy prices rose, and the customer doesn't experience it as a gift since they buy one every day. The rewards that work best come from the pastry case: a croissant or pain au chocolat, a slice of tart, a brioche, a coffee on Saturday morning. Low cost, high perceived value, and above all a discovery effect: a customer who only bought bread tries your pastry and sometimes comes back to buy it. You can also match the reward to the season β€” a slice of galette in January, a chouquette during school holidays.

Can my morning and afternoon staff each scan on their own?

Yes, with the Pro plan at €19.99/month, which opens up to 3 staff accounts on top of your admin account. Each one installs the app on their own phone and only has access to the scan function: no access to the program's settings, no way to change the number of visits or the reward. It's useful when two shifts follow each other in a day, and when an apprentice or a weekend temp takes the till. The Starter plan at €9.99/month fits bakeries where the same person always rings up sales.

My customers already come every day: what's the point of a loyalty program?

It's the most common objection, and it's a fair one: at a bakery, loyalty isn't created, it's preserved. A large share of your customers come because you're on their route, not out of attachment. The day a chain opens on the corner or roadworks change their route, that habit shifts without a word. A loyalty program does two very concrete things: it gives the customer a switching cost β€” they have eight visits out of twelve, they don't want to lose them β€” and it gives you visibility. Without a customer base, you discover the leak in this month's revenue. With one, you see that a morning regular hasn't come by in ten days, and you still have time to do something about it.
