STUDY: 75% of High-Tech Consumers Use Loyalty Programs at Table-Service Restaurants

Loyalty programs matter to today's tech savvy consumers. Sixty percent of high-tech consumers participate in loyalty programs at quick-service restaurants (QSRs) and 75% do so at table-service restaurants, according to the report, The Digital Divide: How High-Tech Consumers Connect to Subscription and Loyalty Offerings.

 A PYMNTS and Paytronix collaboration, this new report finds a definite correlation between technology adoption and eagerness to join loyalty programs or subscription services. High-tech consumers — those who own the greatest number of connected devices — are, in general, particularly eager to engage with their favorite restaurant brands, as are millennials and bridge millennials.

High-tech consumers are far more aware of and eager to adopt subscription programs, with 40% being “very” or “extremely” familiar with restaurant subscription services, vastly exceeding the 21% average for the general sample surveyed.

Restaurant loyalty programs deepen already strong relationships between brands and existing customers. Many of these valuable consumers are eager to try subscriptions, a development that has strong potential for both table-service restaurants and QSRs. Restaurants that adopt these initiatives — both loyalty programs and subscriptions — will be best positioned to succeed in today’s competitive era of dining, according to the report.
