Familiar challenges for cafes
Cardboard stamp cards, unanswered DMs and disconnected branches keep you from winning regulars.
The lost stamp card
The cardboard loyalty card gets lost in a wallet; there is no record anywhere of who drank how many coffees or who earned a free one. The regular’s loyalty goes to waste.
Unanswered Instagram messages
At peak hours the barista cannot check DMs. Questions about the menu, opening hours and events go unanswered for hours; the customer asking ends up at another cafe.
Gaps between branches
Each branch has its own customer list and its own campaign. There is no data to compare how many regulars each branch won or which campaign worked.
What does ÖzgürKod do for cafes?

In minutes with a QR code, or with the official WhatsApp Cloud API. You can keep using the WhatsApp Business app on your phone and connect the same number to the CRM at the same time (coexistence).
The chatbot answers common questions and collects customer information; a member of your team takes over the conversation whenever you want.
Send an announcement or reminder to the customer group you choose with a Meta-approved template; see how many people it reached and how many read it.
Auto-reply to a “price?” comment on your post and send the details by DM; the person who commented also lands in the inbox.
Don't track everything yourself; let it tell you what matters
It reads messages, surfaces who is waiting for a reply and what's at risk, and starts your day with a summary.
Know who to get back to first
- Message analysis: urgency, satisfaction, buying intent and risk; complaints and urgent requests are separated.
- Awaiting reply: unanswered conversations and messages requesting an appointment in one list.
- Today's tasks: a short morning summary showing who you need to follow up with that day.
- Ask a question: type questions like “How many new customer came in this month?” and get answers from your data.
AI features run on accounts with AI analysis turned on; when it's off, messages, appointments and follow-ups run on rules.

What should you look for when choosing a CRM for Cafe?
Before you decide, evaluate your candidates against these 5 criteria.
5 criteria
- A module ready for your industry. Instead of adapting a generic CRM for months Cafe choose a system that is ready on day one for your workflow (record fields, tags, reminder templates).
- WhatsApp and Instagram integration. In Turkey customer most communication comes through WhatsApp and Instagram; a CRM that does not offer a unified inbox through the official API leaves half the work outside.
- Automatic reminders and follow-up. Appointment, payment and repeat reminders should live in the system, not in memory; every missed reminder is lost revenue.
- Turkish-language support and TL pricing. Dollar-based foreign tools carry exchange rate risk and an English-only support barrier; TL pricing and Turkish-language setup support make total cost predictable.
- Free trial and cancellation without commitment. Try it with your own data before you decide: choose a solution that requires no credit card, offers at least a 7-day free trial and can be canceled whenever you want.

Frequently asked questions

How does a café loyalty program work?
Customers enroll in seconds using their phone number, and every visit and purchase is scored automatically. When a reward is earned, the customer gets a WhatsApp message, so there is no more carrying around a paper punch card.
How do customers check their remaining points?
The system replies automatically to customers who ask about their points on WhatsApp or Instagram. It also sends an automatic notification as soon as a reward is earned.
Can it reply automatically to Instagram messages?
Yes. AI answers frequently asked questions instantly, such as the menu, prices, opening hours and events. Messages that need personal attention are tagged and routed to your team, and DMs awaiting a reply appear in the list.
Can I manage multiple branches from a single account?
Yes. Messages, customer data and loyalty points from all branches come together in one dashboard. You can pull separate reports on occupancy, campaign conversion and regulars by branch.
How is customer consent for campaign messages managed?
Communications consent is collected from the customer during loyalty sign-up and kept on record in line with KVKK (Turkey's personal data protection law). Campaign messages go only to customers who have given consent, and customers who withdraw it are removed from the list automatically.
Cafe software and CRM the same thing? Which one is ÖzgürKod?

ÖzgürKod delivers all of these names on one platform: customer communication, appointments, quotes and orders, payment collection and reporting are all in one place.
