Restaurant Brands International Now Fully Loyalty-Enabled
Pymnts.com reports that following the June announcement of the launch of Popeyes Rewards, Restaurant Brands International (RBI), the parent company of major quick-service restaurant (QSR) chains Burger King, Tim Hortons, and Popeyes, now has loyalty programs for all of its brands in their home markets. The company rolled out its Royal Perks Burger King program nationwide during the quarter, while Tim Hortons’ Tims Rewards has been live for years.
“We’re in the early innings with our loyalty programs at Burger King and Popeyes, and we continue to see great progress, which we think will be a big unlock, to help us on our journey towards building a strong and growing digital sales base,” CEO José Cil told analysts on a call. Regarding Royal Perks, he later added, “We continue to prioritize driving program enrollment, as we know that, in addition to providing us with valuable data and insights, loyalty members typically show higher spending and frequency as compared to non-members.”
Bloomin’ Brands Growth Momentum Surpasses Pre-Pandemic Levels
NRN.com says that despite how much the casual-dining industry struggled during the pandemic, Bloomin’ Brands is thriving, with same-store sales surpassing pre-pandemic levels, up 12.1% for the second quarter ended June 27 compared with 2019, and up 84.6% compared to 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to earnings numbers released Friday. Sales volumes also exceeded 2019 levels.
CEO David Deno attributes this sales momentum that has moved beyond recovery from last year to surpass pre-pandemic levels of growth to their multichannel sales mix. Bloomin’ Brands began offering delivery five years ago and put digital marketing efforts into place shortly after that so they were ready to take advantage of the changing industry needs when the pandemic hit.
