Since its launch in the U.S., Canada, and the UK many of the main foodservice brands are included in the loyalty programme.”

About Foodservice Rewards®
Foodservice Rewards® offers all caterers within the foodservice industry the opportunity to earn valuable points when they purchase participating products. Enrolled caterers simply peel off yellow Reward Code labels that are fixed to the outer packaging of the manufacturer’s products, and then enter the codes on the Foodservice Rewards® website to earn points which can then be redeemed against over 1,000 rewards for their business, employees or themselves.
Foodservice Rewards® picked up the award for Best New Rewards Product or Solution and Best Customer Motivation Programme, as well as being a Finalist in the Most Successful Programme category, at The UK Motivation Awards 2007.
