A free loyalty card, without an app, for your butcher shop 🥩
Short answer: yes, there is a free loyalty card without an app for a butcher in Belgium. Your customer scans a QR code once at the counter and instantly gets a loyalty card in their browser — nothing to download, no account and no hardware on your side. That's exactly what BLOKdoes, and it's free forever.
Why a butcher shop and a loyalty card fit so well
Meat and charcuterie are a trust purchase — most customers have “their” butcher and come back every week for the weekend roast, sandwich meats or a barbecue pack. That makes a butcher shop an ideal business for a loyalty card: you don't have to win new customers, you just give the regulars who already walk in a reason to keep choosing you over the supermarket.
How it works at the counter
You put up a poster with a QR code near the till. A new customer scans it with their phone camera and gets a card straight away — no app to install, no password. On the next visit there are two equally fast ways to add a visit:
- you scan your customer's card, or
- your customer types the emoji code of the day shown at the counter.
Both take only a few seconds — designed not to slow down the weekend or pre-holiday rush. Nothing to pair with your till.
Rewards that work in a butcher shop
Stick to classics everyone understands instantly:
- a free pack of charcuterie or a product after a fixed number of visits;
- a discount on the weekend roast or a barbecue pack;
- a little extra on a quiet weekday, to bring people in at a slow moment.
You decide the rewards and how many visits they take. BLOK keeps the count for you.
What does it cost?
The core plan is free forever: unlimited customers and visits, no trial period, no credit card, no hardware to buy. Your data stays yours and is hosted in the European Union.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free loyalty card without an app for a butcher in Belgium?
Yes. BLOK is a free, app-free digital loyalty card built for local Belgian businesses like butchers. The customer scans a QR code at the counter and instantly gets a loyalty card in their browser — nothing to download and no account to create. The butcher only needs a phone or a screen, and it stays free forever.
What's the best alternative to a paper stamp card for a butcher?
A free digital loyalty card without an app. Unlike paper, it can't be lost in a pocket or torn, and unlike a loyalty app it forces the customer to install nothing. With BLOK the customer scans a QR once at the counter; points add up on every visit and the reward you define — for example a free pack of charcuterie — triggers automatically.
Does my customer need to install an app?
No. The customer scans the QR on your poster with their phone camera and immediately gets a loyalty card in the browser. It works on any smartphone, with no download, no app store and no account.
Can it keep up with the weekend or pre-holiday rush?
Yes. At the counter you scan the customer's card, or they type the day's emoji code shown at the till — a single action of a few seconds, with no tablet and no link to your POS. It's designed not to slow down a busy weekend or holiday queue.
Which rewards work well for a butcher shop?
Stick to recognisable rewards: a free pack of charcuterie or a product after a fixed number of visits, a discount on the weekend roast or a barbecue pack, or a small extra on a quiet weekday to bring people in. You decide the rewards and how many visits they take — BLOK keeps the count for you.
How much does it cost for a butcher?
The loyalty card is free forever: unlimited customers and visits, no trial period, no credit card and no hardware to buy. An optional Pro plan will later add automated campaigns, but the loyalty card itself stays free.
With BLOK it doesn’t stop at the card.
Every loyalty card comes with free staff: digital employees that win back lapsed customers, fill your quiet days and write your posts and review replies. You approve with one click.
