Robert Gordon University (RGU) in partnership with catering company Aramark has launched a new loyalty card called Swipii.
The system is now live in the Faculty of Health and Social Care, RGU Sport Café and Gray’s School of Art. As of September Swipii will be available in other catering outlets across the university’s Garthdee campus.
Students and staff can register for free by using tablet devices at the tills and will earn five points with each purchase by scanning the QR code.
There are a variety of rewards available through collecting points, including:
- 5 points: Welcome to the team! High five with outlet staff
- 50 points: Upgrade your hot beverage to a large for free
- 100 points: Queue pass - Skip the queue all week
- 150 points: Choose your own sandwich fillings and have it named after you
- 250 points: Free bundle deal of the month or free three course lunch
Ian Webster, RGU’s accommodation and catering manager, said: “Swipii is an innovative and quirky loyalty card scheme which has been introduced to other university’s catering outlets and also in the retail sector. The card is proving to be very successful and has been gaining a lot of popularity across the country.
“It is something I think will be extremely positive in RGU’s catering outlets and will encourage interaction between staff and students alike. We hope that students and staff will enjoy the benefits this card has to offer.”
Fraser Adam, group catering manager for Aramark at RGU, said: “The Swipii customer card is another project Aramark is able to collaborate with RGU in implementing a new loyalty scheme.
"In the coming months there will be further loyalty rewards and incentives so that it brings value and a new way to interact with our customers. I look forward to see the success of the project.”
Swipii card holders can check their points total through the tablet at any Swipii location, by downloading the Swipii smartphone app or by logging on to the Swipii website. Points can be redeemed through the tablets in any Swipii location.
