Getting started

What is STAMPEDE?

STAMPEDE is an AI-powered loyalty and retention platform for restaurants, cafes, and local F&B businesses in Singapore. Customers join by scanning a QR code, with no app download. Businesses get digital stamp cards, built-in referrals, WhatsApp and email automation, and weekly AI growth reports in one tool.

What STAMPEDE is

How do I set up STAMPEDE for my business?

You claim your free page on stampede.sg, set your rewards, milestones, branding, and outlets, then review the full customer experience before going live. Setup takes minutes, not weeks, and needs no developer. You only start paying once you switch your programme live.

How it works

Is STAMPEDE free?

Setup is free. You can claim your page, build your loyalty programme, and preview everything at no cost with no credit card. You only begin paying the monthly plan price once you go live with a paid plan.

How long does setup take?

Most businesses set up in minutes. You configure rewards, milestones, branding, and outlets in a guided flow, then preview the whole thing before activating. There is no hardware to install and no POS integration to wait on.

Do I need any special hardware?

No. Your staff scan customers using an ordinary phone camera through the browser. There is no terminal to buy, no scanner to plug in, and no POS integration to set up.

Can I try STAMPEDE before paying?

Yes. Setup is free, so you can build your entire loyalty programme and preview the customer and cashier experience before spending anything. Billing only begins when you activate a paid plan and go live.

What happens when I claim my page?

Claiming your free page unlocks the setup flow where you configure rewards, branding, and outlets, and gives you a listing on the STAMPEDE discover directory. Shang Cha, one of our client brands, found STAMPEDE through that directory and self-onboarded without ever speaking to the team.

Do I need technical knowledge to use STAMPEDE?

No. STAMPEDE is built for busy owners, not developers. Setup is a guided flow, staff stamp with a phone camera, and the weekly report is written in plain English. If you can use WhatsApp, you can run STAMPEDE.

Do real businesses use STAMPEDE?

Yes. STAMPEDE runs on 21 outlets across 4 flagship Singapore F&B brands today, from chicken soup restaurants to ice cream shops to tea brands, with more than 16,000 loyalty members between them. Clients report frictionless signups and measurable referral growth.

For your customers

Do my customers need to download an app?

No. STAMPEDE runs in any phone browser as a progressive web app. Customers join and collect stamps without downloading anything from an app store, on iPhone or Android.

How do customers join my loyalty programme?

A customer scans the QR code at your counter, enters their name and phone number, and confirms with a 4-digit code. There is no account to create and no app to install. International visitors log in with email instead.

How long does it take for a customer to sign up?

About 30 seconds, start to finish, on any phone. Returning customers log back in within about 5 seconds, with no URL to memorise. Frictionless signup is the feature clients mention most.

Can older customers use STAMPEDE?

Yes. Because there is no app to download and signup is a simple QR scan plus a phone number, STAMPEDE works for customers of every age. The oldest STAMPEDE user across our client brands is 83 years old.

What happens if a customer loses their phone?

Their stamps and rewards are safe. A digital stamp card is tied to the customer's phone number, not the device, so they simply log in again on a new phone with the same number and their full history is there. Nothing is lost, unlike a paper card.

Can customers use STAMPEDE without internet?

Customers need a basic internet connection to load their stamp card and log in, the same as opening any web page. Most use their own mobile data, and many outlets also offer WiFi. There is no large app to download, so the pages are light and load quickly.

The loyalty programme

How do digital stamp cards work?

A digital stamp card lives on the customer's phone instead of paper. Each visit, your cashier scans their card to add a stamp, and reaching a milestone unlocks a reward automatically. There is nothing to lose, forge, or reprint.

Can I customise my rewards and milestones?

Yes. You choose how many stamps earn a reward and what that reward is, for example buy 8 get 1 free. You can change milestones and rewards any time without reprinting anything, and the programme runs under your own name, logo, and colours.

What are mystery rewards?

Mystery rewards are surprise perks you can drop along the stamp journey to keep customers curious. Instead of knowing exactly what every milestone gives, customers are rewarded with an unexpected treat, which drives repeat visits.

How does the Regulars Club tier system work?

The Regulars Club automatically promotes your most loyal customers through tiers as they keep visiting. Regulars climb from one level to the next, unlocking recognition and perks, so your best customers feel seen and keep coming back.

Can I set up different stamp cards for different products?

Yes. You can configure your milestones and rewards to match how your business runs, so a coffee card and a meal card can carry different targets and prizes. Rewards, branding, and outlets are all yours to shape.

Referrals

How does the referral programme work?

Every customer gets a unique referral link to share. When a friend joins and earns their first stamp, both the referrer and the friend receive a reward automatically. Referrals are built in, not a paid add-on.

How it works

What rewards do referrers and their friends get?

Both sides are rewarded. You decide the reward for the referrer and the reward for the new friend, and STAMPEDE issues them automatically once the friend joins and stamps. This turns your happiest customers into your best marketers.

Can I track who referred whom?

Yes. STAMPEDE records every referral and shows you who referred whom in your dashboard, so you can see exactly which customers are bringing in new paying customers. The weekly report also summarises referral performance.

How many referrals can STAMPEDE generate?

It depends on your customer base, but the effect compounds because every new customer can refer more. Across STAMPEDE's client brands, customers have already completed more than 1,400 successful referrals.

AI and automation

What does STAMPEDE's AI do?

STAMPEDE's AI watches customer behaviour and acts on it: it sends win-back messages to lapsed customers, birthday rewards, and milestone celebrations, and it writes a weekly plain-English growth report. It handles retention work an owner would never have time to do by hand.

How do the automated messages work?

You switch on the automations you want, and STAMPEDE sends them at the right moment over WhatsApp, email, and SMS. Win-back nudges fire when a regular goes quiet, birthday treats arrive on the day, and milestone rewards land the moment they are earned.

What's in the weekly AI report?

Each week STAMPEDE sends a plain-English report covering loyalty ROI, week-over-week trends, referral performance, and per-outlet breakdowns, with clear action items. It explains what happened and what to do next, written for busy owners rather than data analysts.

Can I control what messages are sent to customers?

Yes. You choose which automations are on, and every send respects opt-in and frequency limits so customers are never over-messaged. You stay in control of your brand voice while STAMPEDE handles the timing and delivery.

Does STAMPEDE use AI to write messages for me?

Yes. STAMPEDE can draft campaign and automation copy for you, so you do not start from a blank page. You review and adjust before anything goes out, keeping the words on-brand while saving the time of writing from scratch.

See full pricing

What's the difference between Growth and Scale plans?

Growth ($50 per outlet per month) is the full loyalty engine: stamp cards, referrals, coupons, the cashier scanner, automations, and weekly AI reports. Scale ($99 per outlet per month) adds promo codes, mass broadcast over WhatsApp, email and SMS, UTM attribution, and 500 marketing Sparks every month.

Compare plans

Do I pay per customer or per outlet?

STAMPEDE charges per outlet, not per customer or per transaction. A single-outlet cafe pays for one outlet no matter how many customers join, and a chain pays per outlet it runs.

Are there any hidden fees?

The plan price is the platform price, with no setup fee. The only variable cost is outbound messaging: WhatsApp, email, and SMS sends draw on marketing Sparks, and WhatsApp carries the usual carrier fees. Nothing else is hidden.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no contract and no lock-in. You can cancel at any time, and billing stops at the end of your current period.

Technical

Does STAMPEDE work with my POS system?

Yes. STAMPEDE runs alongside your existing POS and is complementary, not a replacement. Your cashier scans customers with their own phone camera, so there is no special hardware to install or integrate.

Can I use STAMPEDE for multiple outlets?

Yes. You manage every outlet from one dashboard, with per-outlet reports and staff assigned to specific branches. A Singapore bubble tea chain runs 9 outlets on a single STAMPEDE account today.

Is my customer data secure?

Yes. Customer data is stored securely and scoped to your business, so each brand only sees its own customers. STAMPEDE handles the loyalty data for you, and you own your customer relationships rather than renting them from a marketplace.

Does STAMPEDE work on all phones?

Yes. STAMPEDE runs in any modern phone browser as a progressive web app, on both iPhone and Android, for customers and cashiers alike. There is no app to download from any store.

STAMPEDE vs the alternatives

How is STAMPEDE different from paper stamp cards?

A paper card gets lost, forgotten, or forged, and tells you nothing about your customers. A STAMPEDE card lives on the customer's phone, tracks every visit, unlocks rewards automatically, and adds referrals, automated messaging, and AI reports that paper cannot.

Paper cards vs STAMPEDE

Should I build my own loyalty app instead?

A custom loyalty app typically costs tens of thousands of dollars to build and needs ongoing maintenance, and customers still have to download it. STAMPEDE gives you loyalty, referrals, and automation live in minutes for a monthly fee, with no app download for customers.

Build your own vs STAMPEDE

How does STAMPEDE compare to Grab Stamps?

Marketplace loyalty like Grab or ShopBack rewards customers for using the platform, and the customer relationship stays with the marketplace. STAMPEDE is your own white-label programme: your brand, your customer data, and your referral engine, running under your name.

Platform loyalty vs STAMPEDE

Can I use STAMPEDE alongside Grab or ShopBack?

Yes. STAMPEDE runs alongside marketplace platforms rather than replacing them. You can keep taking orders through delivery marketplaces while owning your direct customer relationship and loyalty programme on STAMPEDE.
