Places 360

Places 360 is one app for the independent places you go back to: the café, the bakery, the barber. Their loyalty cards, offers, menus and ordering sit together in one place.

• Tap to stamp. In the app, hold your phone to the venue's Places 360 tag and the stamp lands on your card. No paper card and no phone number to read out. No NFC on your phone, or no tag at the venue? Show your personal QR code and staff scan it instead.

• One wallet. Every loyalty card you hold, with its stamps and rewards, in one place. When a reward is ready, redeem it at the counter by showing staff a live timer.

• Order ahead. Browse the menu, filter it by dietary tags or leave out allergens the venue has listed, and order for collection, delivery or to your table, now or for a later slot, wherever the venue offers it. Scan the QR code on your table and the order goes straight to it. Pay by card in the app where the venue takes cards, or at the counter, then follow the order until it's ready. Always check allergies with the venue.

• Offers. Welcome rewards and offers from the places you go to, claimed straight from their page.

• Their page. Menus, opening hours, locations, announcements and offers, kept up to date by the venue itself.

• Find your places. Search by name or see what's near you, and save the ones you like. Scan a venue's QR code to open its page and join.

• Browse as a guest. Look around, read menus and save places on this phone without an account. Create an account with your email when you want to collect stamps, claim offers or order, and your places and cards follow you to any phone.

Notifications are optional: updates on your orders, and offers only from the venues you've said yes to. Switch any venue off in Profile at any time.

Location is optional. The app asks for it only when you search for places near you or a venue checks you're there for a stamp; once you've allowed it, it also shows places near you and picks a venue's nearest branch. 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. Run a venue yourself? See places360.io.
