Quick service restaurants (QSR) and food delivery platforms are also betting on loyalty schemes to aid business growth. This trend is gaining widespread momentum across regions, including Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe. Overall, the publisher maintains a robust growth outlook for the global loyalty program industry over the next three to four years.
QSRs are planning to drive business growth by leveraging the popularity of loyalty schemes in 2024

Furthermore, the firm is also planning to double its sales from the loyalty program to US$45 billion. By 2027, McDonald’s aims to have 250 million loyalty members. Currently, the program has 150 million members, who are generating more than US$20 billion in sales annually for the QSR.
- Domino’s, another leading QSR in the global market, is also planning to launch a loyalty program in more global markets to drive business growth.
