Built for the Businesses We Love

Regulars was born from a simple belief: local businesses deserve better loyalty tools. We're a small Montreal team on a mission to help you recognize and reward your most valuable customers.

Our Story

Why Montreal Started This

In 2025, our team watched the Montreal food and retail scene struggle with an old problem: customers loved local businesses, but those businesses had no way to show that love back. We'd visit amazing cafés, restaurants, and boutiques where the owner remembered everyone's name and favorite order—but they had no loyalty system that actually worked.

The old solutions were broken. Points programs had redemption rates under 30%. Punch cards got lost between visits. Groupon discounts trained customers to only come during sales. These tools hurt the businesses we cared about most.

So we built Regulars. A loyalty platform designed specifically for local business owners who want to reward their genuine regulars—no gimmicks, no complex point calculations, just real recognition that creates real retention.

Why We Built This

The Loyalty Crisis

Traditional points programs have a dirty secret: 70% of earned points are never redeemed. Customers forget, the UI is confusing, or they can't accumulate enough. Money spent for nothing.

The Lost Punch Cards

How many punch cards are sitting in junk drawers? Customers want to support you, but friction kills loyalty. One forgotten card and the customer loses all progress.

The Groupon Trap

Deep discounts attract deal-seekers, not loyal customers. You train new people to only visit on sale. It hurts your margins and burns out your business.

No Community Feel

Big chains have loyalty apps, but they're soulless. Local businesses need tools that create real connection, recognize individual customers, and build genuine community—not just transactions.

Who We Are

A Small Team, Big Mission

We're a scrappy team of 6 people based in Montreal. We've worked in local food, retail, and tech. We know the pain points because we've lived them. In 2026, we decided to build the solution we wanted to use ourselves. We're not backed by a mega-fund or a big corporation—we're independent, focused, and obsessed with helping local businesses thrive.
