Start with the right programme.
A shared programme can be convenient for customers, but it needs rules for participation and settlement between locations. Decide whether customers earn and redeem everywhere, only within a region or only at their enrolling branch.
Compare stamps, points and membership entitlements before deciding on a platform.
One clear promise across every participating location.
Choose a model each location can honour, then settle how rewards and costs work between branches.
