What this does

The Loyalty report shows how many customers sign up for your loyalty program, how often they redeem points, and whether loyalty members spend more than non-members. Use this to decide if your loyalty program is working or needs adjustment.

Loyalty report overview

When to use this

Use this report to answer:
  • How many customers are enrolled in loyalty? (Member count, Signup rate)
  • Are members redeeming points? (Redemption rate, percentage of orders with points spent)
  • Which channels drive loyalty orders? (Orders from members by Kiosk, POS, Web, Scan to Order)
  • Do loyalty members spend more? (Lifetime value comparison)
  • Are loyalty customers staying engaged? (User retention comparison)
  • Which outlets need loyalty focus? (AI insights and outlet-specific data)

Filters

The report starts with three visible filters:
  • Date: Time range for customer cohorts (defaults to past 3 months). Applies to customers whose first order falls within this period.
  • First order brand: Filter to customers whose first order was under the selected brand(s)
  • First order outlet: Filter to customers whose first order was at the selected outlet(s)
See Using reports - Filters for detailed instructions on how to apply filters and use date operators.

Summary metrics

The report is organized into three main sections:

User summary

Customer acquisition and enrollment metrics:
  • Customer count: Total number of unique customers in the selected cohort (both loyalty members and non-members). This represents your total addressable population for loyalty acquisition.
  • Member count: Number of customers in the cohort who have enrolled in the loyalty program. This is a subset of Customer count.
  • Signup rate: Percentage of customers who signed up for loyalty. Calculated as: (Member count ÷ Customer count) × 100%. Target this metric to improve loyalty acquisition campaigns.
  • Loyalty member count: May represent a filtered subset of members (e.g., active members or members with recent transactions). Contact support if the difference between Member count and Loyalty member count is unclear.
  • Loyalty adoption rate: Similar to Signup rate but may track a sub-metric like active loyalty adoption. Contact support for clarification if this metric differs significantly from Signup rate.
Most metrics in the User summary section are drillable. Click on a metric to see the underlying customer data including names, emails, activity status, and loyalty status.

Points summary

Loyalty points and redemption metrics:
  • Loyalty reward value earned: Total monetary value of loyalty points awarded to members during the selected date range. This shows total loyalty distribution and drives member perception of program value.
  • Loyalty reward value spent: Total monetary value of loyalty points redeemed by members during the selected date range. This shows actual redemption activity and member engagement.
  • Redemption rate: Percentage of earned points that have been redeemed. Calculated as: (Loyalty reward value spent ÷ Loyalty reward value earned) × 100%. Industry benchmarks typically fall between 30-50%.
    Redemption rate reflects points redeemed up to the current date. It does not account for points that will expire in the future or points that have already expired.
  • Loyalty reward value expired: Total monetary value of loyalty points that expired without being redeemed. High expiration rates indicate low engagement or unrealistic expiration windows.
Click on points metrics to drill down into detailed Point Transaction data including transaction IDs, merchant IDs, and order IDs.

AI insights

Charts and visualizations

Orders from members (weekly)

Shows the percentage of total orders in each week that came from loyalty members, broken down by channel (Kiosk, POS, Scan to Order, Web). Interpretation: Indicates member order frequency relative to all orders and shows channel affinity for loyalty members.
“Orders from members” counts orders where a member is identified at checkout, not necessarily orders where points were earned.

Orders with points earned (weekly)

Shows the percentage of orders in each week where loyalty points were awarded to a member, broken down by channel. Interpretation: Shows how often the loyalty earning mechanism is triggered. Lower percentages mean either few member purchases or many non-earning transactions.

Orders with points spent (weekly)

Shows the percentage of orders in each week where a member redeemed loyalty points, broken down by channel. Interpretation: Shows redemption frequency. Very low percentages are typical for loyalty programs (only a subset of members redeem each week). This is a strong indicator of program health and should increase as members accumulate points.

Signup rate (monthly)

Combo chart showing Member count (bars), Customer count (bars), and Signup rate (line) over time. Interpretation: Shows campaign effectiveness and program appeal over time. Trending up indicates improving sign-up efficiency. Months with low customer acquisition may show high variance in signup rate.

Lifetime value by loyalty status

Bar chart comparing median lifetime value (total spend) between non-loyalty members and loyalty members. Interpretation: Shows whether loyalty members spend more than non-members. A significant gap indicates the loyalty program is successfully retaining higher-value customers.
Lifetime value is calculated as median total spend, not average. This reduces the impact of outlier customers.

User retention by loyalty status

Line chart showing “Active User Retention” over a 12-month period, comparing loyalty members against non-loyalty members. Interpretation: Shows how many customers remain active over time. Loyalty members should show higher retention rates than non-members. Steep drop-offs indicate engagement issues.

Members by activity status

Pie chart showing the breakdown of members by activity status:
  • Active (Last 30 days): Members with transactions in the past 30 days
  • Inactive (31-60 days): Members with no transactions in the past 30 days but active in the prior period
Interpretation: High inactive percentage indicates members are churning or disengaging. Consider re-engagement campaigns.

Actions

What should happen

After applying filters and reviewing the report, you should see:
  • Updated summary metrics (Customer count, Member count, Signup rate, Points earned/spent/expired)
  • AI insights tailored to the selected cohort
  • Charts showing trends over time based on your date range
  • Drill-down capabilities on most numeric metrics (click to see underlying data)
All data should reflect the most recent hourly refresh (check the banner at the top for last update time).

If it doesn’t work

If metrics appear incorrect or the report doesn’t load:
  1. Check your date range: Ensure “Date” filter includes the time period you want to analyze
  2. Verify brand and outlet filters: If “First order brand” or “First order outlet” are set to specific values, only customers whose first order matches those criteria will be included
  3. Check your permissions: You need Manager, Finance, or Admin role to access this report
  4. Wait for data refresh: If you just made changes to loyalty settings, wait for the next hourly refresh
  5. Try removing filters: Click “Update” after removing all brand/outlet filters to see all data
If drill-down modals show no data:
  1. Click Run without cache in the drill-down modal to fetch live data
  2. Check that the metric you’re drilling into has a non-zero value (you can’t drill into empty metrics)
If the issue persists, contact support at [email protected] with:
  • The report URL
  • The specific metric or chart that’s not working
  • The filters you applied
