Places 360 is one app for the independent places you go back to: the café, the bakery, the barber. Collect stamps with a tap, keep every reward in one wallet, and order ahead from the same app. FOR CUSTOMERS • Tap to stamp. Hold your iPhone to the venue's Places 360 tag and the stamp lands instantly. No card to carry and no phone number to read out at the till. Venues can also scan your personal QR code instead. • One wallet. Every loyalty card you hold, with its stamps and rewards, in one place. Milestone rewards appear the moment you earn them and are redeemed at the counter in a few seconds. • Order ahead. Browse the menu, order for collection, eat in at your table, or place a pre-order for the office. Pay in the app where the venue takes cards, or at the counter. • Offers worth having. Welcome rewards and offers from the places you've joined, claimed straight from their page. • Browse as a guest. Look around, read menus and save places without an account. Sign in with Apple, Google or email when you want your cards to follow you between phones. FOR VENUES The same app runs the business. Sign in as an owner and a Business tab appears: • Set up a stamp card in minutes, with your own artwork, milestones and reward expiry. • Register NFC tags, or let staff scan customers' codes with a PIN. • Publish your menu, take orders, and run collection, eat-in and pre-order journeys with cloud receipt printing. • Your own page with announcements, opening hours, locations and contact details, live at places360.io/your-name. • Team roles, reports, offers and a customer list. PRIVACY Your location is used only when you search for nearby places or a venue verifies you're there for a stamp. Places 360 never tracks you in the background, shows no ads, and never sells your data. Each venue sees only your activity with them. Delete your account at any time from Profile. Places 360 is made for independent businesses in the UK by Digit Places Limited. Questions? hello@places360.io
