A QR sticker that protects what matters — and earns its keep delivering real specials straight to customers' phones.
The sticker
Gifted by the restaurant to their regulars — one per valued device. When that device is lost, a finder scans and is instantly connected to the owner — no app needed. The same sticker grants the restaurant permission to push real, timely specials straight to that customer's home screen.
Finder scans. Gets call and WhatsApp buttons for the owner — or an alternate contact for phone stickers. No app or login on either side.
Restaurant sends a special from their dashboard. A push notification — with sound — lands on the customer's lock screen within seconds.
Laptop, bike, keys, school bag. One household, multiple stickers. Points pool across the family — more stickers, more renewal savings at stake.
How specials are delivered
Customers install the FOUND!T web app to their home screen when they register. From that moment, specials arrive as native push notifications — audible, visible on the lock screen, and completely free to send. Email serves as fallback for customers who haven't yet installed the app.
Bella Italia — tonight's special
Springbok carpaccio + house red, R195. Available from 18:00 tonight only. Tap to view.
FOUND!T · now
FCM push notifications are free. No WhatsApp API fees, no per-broadcast charges. Unlimited specials included in the restaurant's monthly subscription.
Notification sound, lock screen appearance, rich image support. Feels like any other app — because it is one. iOS 16.4+ and Android fully supported.
The FOUND!T web app installs directly from the browser at registration. No app store, no download — just "Add to Home Screen" and done.
Renewal model
Each sticker renews at R72/year. Customers who stay engaged — viewing specials, keeping the app installed, staying opted in — earn points that wipe that fee entirely. A family with 5 stickers protects R360/year of renewal value. That's enough to genuinely change behaviour.
Renewal tiers
What earns points
View a special — 1 point per view
App installed — 5 points on install
Notifications on — 5 points granted
Refer a friend — 10 points per signup
Points pool across all household stickers
Reaching 51 points requires viewing a special roughly once a week. For a family protecting R360/year in renewal fees, that's a compelling enough incentive to stay engaged — and every view is an impression for the restaurant.
