# 5 Modern Guest Loyalty Strategies That Lift Repeat Check Size by 53%
Repeat customers spend up to 53% more per visit than first-time explorers. Yet traditional plastic punch cards or clunky app downloads introduce friction that turns diners away.
### 1. Frictionless Phone Number Lookup
Diners shouldn't have to download another app just to get rewards. With RestoOS, typing a 10-digit phone number on the customer-facing screen instantly recalls their points balance and allergen notes.
### 2. Apple Wallet & Google Wallet Passes
Let guests save their digital loyalty card directly to their smartphone wallet with 1 tap. Dynamic lockscreen notifications remind them of exclusive perks when they are in walking distance of your patio.
### 3. Automated Celebratory Treats
Set up automated birthday and anniversary surprises that trigger automatically. An unexpected complimentary dessert voucher drives emotional loyalty and fills tables on slow Tuesday nights.
