    F&B Marketing on LOOP — Zalo Loyalty, Repeat-Visit AI

    Turn one-time diners into regulars: Zalo Mini App membership, AI-picked segments, and campaign send times chosen by LOOP from your outlet's own foot-traffic curve.

    How LOOP handles it

    LOOP marketing is a full-stack loyalty engine: every bill auto-registers a Zalo membership, RFM segments update after each shift, and campaigns fire at the outlet's proven peak-response window — usually 45 minutes before Friday dinner.

    The specific pains here

    1. #1Stamp cards can't tell you who came back last week.

      How LOOP solves it: Zalo Mini App membership auto-attaches to every bill — RFM segments visible in the app the next morning.

    2. #2Broadcast promos to 5,000 members converts 1.2%.

      How LOOP solves it: AI Segments picks the 400 members most likely to return this week — 8–12% conversion.

    3. #3Campaigns sent at 10:00 AM go unread by 6:00 PM diners.

      How LOOP solves it: AI Send-Time fires each segment at that segment's median response window from historical data.

    4. #4Birthday and anniversary offers are manual — most get missed.

      How LOOP solves it: Life-event automations fire the morning of birthdays with a redeemable Zalo voucher.
