Custom App for Your Cleveland Bar
Ohio City, Tremont, West 6th, Lakewood — Cleveland's bar scene is packed with independent spots competing for the same regulars. A loyalty app gives your customers a reason to choose your bar over the one next door, and a push notification gets them off the couch on a slow Tuesday. $4,500 flat, App Store ready in 3 weeks.
What's in the app
Drink loyalty & rewards
Points per visit, per tab, or per drink. Redeem for free rounds, discounts, or VIP perks. The regulars who already love you become even more loyal — and they bring friends.
Event & show notifications
Live music tonight. Trivia starts at 8. $3 drafts until 10. Push notifications go directly to your regulars' lock screens — no hoping they see your Instagram post.
Happy hour alerts
Send a push at 4pm on a Thursday and watch what happens to your 5 o'clock crowd. Targeted, timely, and way more effective than a Facebook event.
Customer profiles & visit history
Know who your regulars are. Their visit count, their points balance, their preferences. The data that helps you treat your best customers like VIPs.
App Store listing
Your bar's own App Store presence. Customers download it once, you have a direct line forever. Cole handles the icon, screenshots, description, and submission.
Filling seats on slow nights
Every bar has slow nights. The difference between a dead Tuesday and a decent one is often a single push notification sent at the right time. "$2 off drafts til 9 tonight" sent at 6pm to 300 customers with your app is worth more than a week of social media posts.
Cleveland's independent bar market
Cleveland's bar neighborhoods — Ohio City, Tremont, West 6th, Gordon Square — are full of bars that rely on regulars and word of mouth. A loyalty app turns casual visitors into regulars, and regulars into advocates. The chains have apps. Now your independent bar can too.
Your customer data, not the platform's
Facebook, Instagram, and Yelp own your audience. If the algorithm changes or you get shadowbanned, your reach disappears. An app gives you a direct, algorithm-free channel to every customer who downloaded it.
Common questions
Can customers order or pay through the app?
Not in the standard package. In-app ordering and payment is available as a custom add-on. Most bars use the app for loyalty and event notifications while keeping their existing POS for transactions.
How do I send a push notification?
From a simple web dashboard — type your message, hit send. It reaches every customer who has your app installed and notifications enabled. Takes under a minute.
Can I promote specific events or specials?
Yes. Push notifications can be sent anytime, as often as you want. There's no limit on how many you can send.
Does this work for a bar that also serves food?
Absolutely. The app can include a food menu alongside the drink loyalty program. It's common for bar/restaurant hybrids to include both.
