Punch Cards: Old School, But Still Effective
Don’t sleep on the classic punch card—it’s low-tech, low-cost, and still packs a punch. Many food truck owners still use physical cards, and customers respond. There’s something satisfying about watching those holes stack up.
Easy to start: Print a batch for cheap and hand them out—no tech required.
Tangible appeal: Customers feel progress in their hands, which can beat a digital notification for some.
Backup plan: If your POS crashes (it happens!), punch cards keep the loyalty train rolling.
Pair them with a friendly “See you soon!” and you’ve got a personal touch that keeps folks coming back. Just don’t lose track—keep a system to avoid double-dipping.

The Consortium Approach: Team Up for Bigger Wins
Join forces with 3-4 complementary food trucks for a shared loyalty program. Picture this—a taco truck, a dessert cart, and a coffee rig team up. Customers earn points across all three, redeemable at any. It’s a win-win that’s catching on in food truck hubs like Austin and Portland.
Wider appeal: Cross-promotion exposes your truck to new crowds who might not have stopped by otherwise.
Shared costs: Split the expense of a digital platform or card printing, making it budget-friendly.
Community vibe: Customers love supporting a “crew” of local vendors, boosting your collective street cred.

Turning Loyalty Into Action
Loyalty programs aren’t a set-it-and-forget-it deal—they’re a tool to grow your food truck into a local legend. Whether you go high-tech with a POS, stick to punch cards, or rally a posse of fellow truckers, the key is starting small and tweaking as you go. Test a simple “5th visit free” offer, track who bites, and scale up from there.
