In today’s high street environment, small businesses face big challenges: rising costs, changing customer habits, and loyalty tools that haven’t evolved since the paper stamp card.

At Burdi, we’re building something different — a smart, modern way to reward loyalty that’s designed specifically for local cafés, delis, grocers, and independent retailers.

Here’s what makes Burdi different — and why more small businesses are making the switch.

💡 What Is Burdi?

Burdi is a mobile-first in-store payment and rewards app that helps independent venues reward their customers instantly — without admin, hassle, or heavy discounts.

Customers use Burdi to:

Pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, card, or their bank app
Earn instant rewards in Burdi points
Spend points like cash at any venue in the Burdi network

It’s fast, simple, and gives people a reason to come back — or explore new places locally.

🔁 How It Works for Businesses

For local businesses, Burdi works in the background — no logins, no stamp pads, no bulky till integrations.

You just:

Place a QR code at your till
Get paid instantly
Let Burdi handle the rewards

Even better? You control the budget, and our smart engine adjusts the reward for each user to make the most of every penny.

That means new customers might get a bigger incentive to try you out, while regulars keep coming back for consistent, feel-good rewards.

⚙️ What Makes Burdi Smart

Most loyalty systems treat every customer the same. Burdi doesn’t.

Our A.I. system learns from:

Spending habits
Visit frequency
Nearby venue behaviour

It then automatically recommends the right reward to encourage return visits — or help customers discover other local partners in the Burdi network. This isn’t just loyalty — it’s personalised, data-driven customer retention for the high street.

💷 Why Burdi Matters

We started Burdi because we believe small businesses deserve better tools — the kind usually only available to big chains with big budgets.

With Burdi, independent venues can:

Reward loyalty without over-discounting
Join a shared local network of customers
Track and grow their base over time
Save hundreds per year compared to traditional loyalty costs

All while offering something customers genuinely love to use.
