CrabTap is a digital loyalty platform for small local businesses like cafés, barbershops, and ice cream shops. Instead of building a native app or paying for infrastructure meant for big chains, venues get an affordable way to run stamps and points programs. Customers use one account and one QR code across every participating business, earning rewards they can redeem for real perks each venue sets. Owners get a simple scan-and-reward flow at checkout, plus tools to send promotions.

What to expect from an ideal product

  1. CrabTap replaces paper punch cards with a scannable QR code customers reuse across every local business on the platform, no app download needed.
  2. Setup takes minutes for cafe, barbershop, or ice cream shop owners, with a simple scan-and-stamp flow built for busy checkout counters.
  3. Customers keep one account and one QR code instead of a wallet full of half-stamped cards that get lost or forgotten.
  4. Owners set their own rewards, whether that is a free coffee after ten visits or a discount after a points threshold, without paying for software built for big chains.
  5. Built-in promotion tools let participating venues send deals to returning customers, turning a basic stamp program into a lightweight retention channel.
