Questions, answered.
Is Koinz a loyalty app or an ordering app?
Both. Its Foodics listing describes loyalty, feedback, analytics and online ordering for pickup and delivery, and the Koinz customer app lets diners order, collect and redeem.
Who owns the customer on Koinz?
Customers use the Koinz app, which lists many brands. With TheCoins they use your app, your store and your wallet card, and their contact details and order history sit in your dashboard.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some brands keep a shared app for discovery and move regulars to their own channel, the same way they use delivery apps.
