Slant Loyalty

Slant Loyalty is a loyalty feature in Slant POS for restaurant customers. Restaurants set a reward percentage on purchases, and customers earn points on orders after joining. Customers can later exchange points for discounts and check their remaining balance on printed or emailed receipts. Staff can enroll customers and enter their information in the POS during a sale, so points can start accumulating on the first purchase.

The program can be used across a restaurant’s locations and chains. A loyalty report provides real-time views of program performance, sales impact, and loyal customers. Slant says basic loyalty functionality is built into Slant POS without extra apps, equipment, or fees. It is available on Android and the web. The Free Forever plan is listed as free and includes 100 orders per month, limited invoices, and email support. The Paid plan is $32 a year, billed per month per outlet billed annually; it includes unlimited invoices, loyalty, seven-days-a-week support, and remote setup and onboarding. A 14-day trial is listed.

Slant Loyalty adds points, discounts, and reporting within Slant POS without separate loyalty equipment or apps. Review the order and invoice limits alongside the paid plan’s per-outlet billing.

It suits independent restaurant and cafe owners using Slant POS who want purchase-based points and discounts. Restaurants with multiple locations can use the program across locations and chains.

Slant Loyalty is a restaurant rewards feature within Slant POS, aimed especially at independent restaurants and cafes. It suits operators who want purchase-linked points and discounts across locations; the free plan’s 100-order monthly limit is the clearest reason a growing outlet may need to pay.

Overview

Restaurants set a reward percentage, and customers earn points on orders after joining. They can exchange points for a discount on a later purchase, while printed or emailed receipts show their remaining balance. Staff can enroll customers and enter their information during a sale, allowing points to accrue from that first purchase.

The program spans a restaurant’s locations and chains, and a real-time report covers program performance, sales impact, and loyal customers. These features make it more compelling for operators coordinating rewards across outlets than for businesses seeking a standalone consumer loyalty app. Slant says basic loyalty functionality is part of Slant POS, with no extra apps, equipment, or fees required.

Key features

Purchase rewards and campaigns

A percentage-based reward and points redeemed as later discounts create a clear purchase-to-reward cycle. Offer campaigns add another way to use the program. That focused setup will appeal to restaurants looking to reward transactions; it is less suited to a business seeking a broader, standalone loyalty product.

Enrollment, balances, and reporting

In-POS enrollment avoids making customers wait for a later sign-up before they can earn points. Receipt balances give customers a reminder of what they have accumulated. Real-time reporting connects the program with sales impact and loyal-customer activity, which is useful for operators monitoring more than one location.

Privacy and security

Slant says it uses physical, electronic, and managerial safeguards, industry standards, and firewalls, while acknowledging that absolute security cannot be guaranteed. Its privacy policy says third-party integrations may provide services and identifies payment, analytics, communications, and cloud-storage providers as possible recipients of data. Restaurants should weigh those data flows when deciding whether the POS fits their policies.

Pricing

The Free Forever plan costs nothing. It allows 100 orders per month, limits invoices, and includes email support. That is a sensible starting point for a low-volume outlet, but the order cap can make it restrictive as sales grow, and invoice limits are another constraint.

The Paid plan costs $32 a year, billed per month and per outlet, with annual billing. It includes unlimited invoices, loyalty, seven-days-a-week support, and remote setup and onboarding. For an outlet that exceeds the free order allowance or needs the included loyalty program, it removes the stated order and invoice constraints; operators should account for billing per outlet when budgeting across a chain. The pricing note also offers a 14-day trial.

Platforms

Slant Loyalty is available on Android and the web. Its POS-based design is a natural fit for restaurants already choosing Slant POS, rather than a standalone loyalty app requirement.

Who it's for

Slant describes its mission as providing low-cost POS software to independent restaurant and cafe owners. The loyalty feature fits those businesses when they want points, discounts, campaigns, and shared reporting across locations without separate loyalty equipment or apps. Restaurants needing to keep loyalty independent of Slant POS should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Customer enrollment during a sale can earn points from the first purchase, reducing the gap between joining and participation.
• Pros: Shared support across locations and chains, plus real-time reporting, gives multi-outlet operators a view of loyalty performance and sales impact.
• Pros: The paid plan combines loyalty with unlimited invoices and remote onboarding, while offering seven-days-a-week support.
• Cons: Free Forever stops at 100 orders per month and has limited invoices, so it may not carry a busy outlet far.
• Cons: The paid price is per outlet and requires annual billing, which matters for chains comparing outlet-level costs.
• Cons: Loyalty is built into Slant POS, limiting its appeal to businesses looking for a standalone product.

Alternatives

Loga is worth considering for businesses that want an app with Android, iOS, web, and API platforms and explicit member and admin allowances: its free tier covers 100 members and one admin, while Starter costs 490 THB a month and includes 1,000 members, five admins, one reward, and three coupons.

SpenVest may fit a business that wants a free connection while keeping an existing rewards provider authoritative; its Connect plan does not calculate SpenVest rewards, cashback, or campaigns and lacks native checkout and orders.

Como Sense is a paid alternative for readers comparing Android, iOS, and API platforms.

Hang is a paid option with Android, iOS, web, and API platforms.

PAR Engagement is another paid alternative available on Android, iOS, web, and API.

The Stampit offers a paid Basic plan at £24.99 a month for a single location, unlimited users, multiple stamp cards, and limited support. It is a better comparison for a single-location business considering stamp-card rewards.

CardFree Loyalty uses custom pricing and asks prospective customers to contact CardFree for a demo.

Spoonity uses custom pricing tailored to the brand and loyalty program, with a-la-carte features; it may suit buyers seeking that pricing approach.

Verdict

Slant Loyalty is a practical choice for independent restaurants and cafes already considering Slant POS, particularly when they need a shared points program and reporting across outlets. Its main advantage is keeping rewards within the POS workflow; choose another product if you need loyalty outside Slant POS, and budget for the per-outlet annual paid plan once the free order cap becomes too tight.
