BRotD - Entry 0209 Taco Bell Loyalty

Best Reading of the Day

QSR is undergoing some major new innovations led by a few and taking advantage of the differentiation opportunities granted by mobile.  Taco Bell is one of the leaders, probably out of necessity, and appears to be seeing gains as a result.

Mobile Commerce Daily has a good piece on their most recent efforts:

Here is a snippet from that piece:

Taco Bell is gearing up to overtake its competitors in mobile strategy by announcing plans to roll out a customer loyalty program as part of its mobile application later this year, placing it a step above other fast food chains such as McDonald’s and Burger King that do not offer rewards platforms.

While the brand has not revealed specifics of the in-app loyalty program, it plans to make the experience of logging Taco Bell orders more game-like, rather than a traditional punch card. Taco Bell has been placing a greater emphasis on mobile in recent months, which began with its introduction of mobile ordering in 2014.

Happy Reading,
