Status By Union

Loyalty programs fail because guests don’t use them. We fixed that.
Most loyalty tools ask guests to download an app, create an account, and remember to check in. Status requires none of that. It runs inside Union automatically: every transaction, every guest, every time.

How Status Works
Set it up once. It runs forever.

1
Guest gives their phone number
Via the NFC puck, at the POS, through Pay at Table, or by scanning the QR on their receipt. One number is all it takes: no app, no account, no card.
2
Every dollar earns a point
1 point per $1 spent on net sales. Add a first-visit bonus so that first reward hits fast. Give VIPs 2x–10x multipliers to recognize your best customers.
3
Reward applies automatically
When a guest hits your threshold, a discount appears on their next tab. No code to show. No staff action. No one has to remember anything.
4
They come back. Again.
A guest with a reward waiting has a concrete reason to return to your venue specifically. Status points don’t transfer, they’re yours, building loyalty to your bar, not an app.

The Difference
Built for how bars actually run.

Zero lift for your team
Points earned, rewards applied, VIP status updated, all automatically. Your staff never manually tracks or applies anything. Status runs in the background so your team stays focused on the floor.
Your rules, your program
Set the reward tier, first-visit bonus, VIP multipliers, and exclusions. Configure once in your portal, runs on its own from there. Change your rules anytime, it updates instantly.
Works without mobile ordering
Any venue can enable Status, even without a single mobile tab. POS enrollment and receipt QR codes work completely independently, so there’s no prerequisite, no barrier, no excuse not to turn it on.
VIP multipliers
Recognize your best spenders and most frequent visitors with 2x to 10x points. VIP status updates automatically after each end-of-day. No manual tagging, no spreadsheet, no guesswork.
Pricing
$0
per month. No asterisk.
Most loyalty platforms charge $200–$500 a month whether guests use them or not.
Status is included in your Union subscription. No add-on tier, no per-redemption fee, no third-party platform. The only cost is the reward discount you fund when a guest comes back, which means you already made the margin before it applies.

Enrollment
Works the way your venue works.

1
Guest-Led Mobile Ordering
Guest taps or scans the NFC puck, opens a tab from their phone, and enters their number. Points start earning immediately. No staff involvement at any step.
→Tap or scan puck, menu loads on guest’s phone
→Guest opens tab, enters phone number to enroll
→Receipt shows points earned and reward progress
2
Add Customer at the POS
Server adds the guest to the check before closing out. Works for every venue regardless of mobile adoption: traditional service, full loyalty benefits.
→Long press the check name at POS → “Add Customer”
→Enter guest’s phone number
→Close check as normal, points apply automatically
3
QR Code on Printed Receipt
Every receipt prints a QR code at the bottom. Guest scans it themselves: at the table, in the car, or later that night. Points from that visit apply retroactively.
→Guest receives printed receipt after checkout
→Scans QR code → enters phone number
→Points from that visit credited, no staff needed
4
Pay at Table
Server selects “Pay at Table” on the POS and turns the screen toward the guest. Status must be enabled in your Manager Portal. No extra device, no app, no friction.
→Server selects Pay → Pay at Table on the POS
→Screen turns to guest, they select tip and complete payment
→Guest enters phone number to earn points 
“People have responded well, especially regulars, they don’t have to do anything except remind staff to connect their tab [to their Status account.]”
