Local barbers, cafés, restaurants and salons compete with big chains that have well-known loyalty programmes. Paper stamp cards get lost, separate loyalty apps are hard to run, and payments and rewards usually live in different systems.
Burdi set out to give independent businesses a loyalty programme as good as the big brands, built into the way customers already pay.
Big chains win on loyalty. Small businesses had no easy way to reward regulars.
Clunky loyalty schemes. Stamp cards and separate apps were hard to manage and easy to forget.
Payments and rewards apart. Customers had to pay one way and collect rewards another.
Hard to be found. Independent shops struggled to reach new local customers.
Built in-store mobile payments. Customers pay at participating businesses straight from their phone, quickly and securely.
Turned every payment into a reward. Rewards are earned automatically with each purchase, with no cards to carry or stamps to collect.
Helped people discover local favourites. Users find nearby cafés, restaurants, barbers and beauty salons that are part of Burdi.
Connected customers and merchants. One platform manages customer accounts, merchant details, transactions and rewards.
Built one app for iOS and Android. A consistent, responsive experience, with payments, accounts and rewards working seamlessly together.
In the first six months, Burdi helped local businesses turn one-off visits into loyal, higher-spending customers.
Burdi is a mobile loyalty and payments app that helps customers earn rewards when they shop at independent local businesses such as restaurants, cafés, barbers and beauty salons. Time2Launch developed the iOS and Android app and the platform infrastructure behind it.
The app is built with Flutter, with Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore and Cloud Messaging, plus REST API integration, digital wallet integration and payment processing. Key features include in-store mobile payments, an automated rewards system, local business discovery and centralised management of customers, merchants, transactions and rewards.
The project reflects our experience in Flutter app development for fintech and retail. Building a loyalty, payments or rewards app? See our cross-platform app development and cybersecurity services.
