e.g. If you give them 5,000 yen ($50) then you get 10% of that as points plus a free drink coupon. Tiers below at 2,000/etc; cash value only below that.

This encourages you to keep your coffee spend here, as opposed to Starbucks, and gives the cafe a negative-cost source of working capital. (Plus if you don’t come back in a year after your last use, breakage.)

Also lets them outcompete the CC companies; they can offer 5% point rewards (costs them nothing) as opposed to banks offering 1% (costs them 2% if customer chooses to purchase with CC).

I think they only accept loads in store on cash. You can load through the app with a CC but you lose the 5% promo to do so, which would be irrational.

Starbucks seemingly doesn’t want to touch cash at all and is happy having their card be a pointer to a CC.

Literally a card? Or an app?

A literal card that you can link to an app. (Frustratingly because they don’t control their POS they can’t do the “give us a barcode and we’ll scan it” thing Starbucks does, so you need the card.)

I know right. It’s not even a “cash discount.”

This is what I'm building with http://www.loopz.io . Digital or physical stored value cards for small businesses. Do you know the name of the solution used at the store?

That's really cool
