Santa Cruz Rewards gives your restaurant a simple, powerful system to attract new guests and keep them coming back with consistent, high-impact messaging. From setup to daily use, everything is designed to be easy, effective, and built specifically for restaurants.
Sign up for Santa Cruz Rewards and within about one week, your fully branded, browser-based text message system will be up and running. This setup includes registering and verifying your dedicated texting number so messages are delivered reliably from your restaurant’s name. Once complete, you’ll have everything in place to start connecting with your customers.
Once your system is live, your restaurant will begin sending messages to your subscribers, up to twice per week. These messages can feature your current specials, events, or custom offers designed to drive traffic when you need it most. With text message open rates exceeding 80%, your promotions are seen quickly and consistently by your audience.
You’ll receive a custom QR code unique to your restaurant that makes it easy for customers to join your rewards program. When scanned, it takes them to a mobile-friendly sign-up form where they enter their name, email, and phone #. Once submitted, they’re instantly added to your list and ready to start receiving your exclusive offers and promotions.
Santa Cruz Rewards puts your restaurant directly in front of local diners who are actively looking for their next place to eat.
As soon as customers sign up, they receive a branded welcome text and email from your restaurant, creating an immediate connection and setting the stage for repeat visits. Every message is sent under your restaurant’s name, keeping your brand front and center while building familiarity and trust.
Once your system is live, your restaurant maintains a consistent presence with your audience.
Promotions, specials, events, and updates are delivered automatically—up to twice per week—helping you fill slow nights, promote busy weekends, and keep customers engaged. With easy opt-out functionality, your list stays clean, compliant, and highly responsive.
You’re always in control.
Inside your restaurant’s admin dashboard is a simple, easy-to-use form that allows you to update specials, promotions, and messaging in just minutes. No complicated tools. No waiting on developers.
Whether it’s a last-minute special, a seasonal menu item, or a major holiday like Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day, you can quickly create and send offers exactly when opportunities arise.
If you’re ready to consistently attract new customers, increase repeat visits, and take control of your restaurant’s marketing, now is the time to get started.
