Keyword cluster: food ordering app loyalty wallet promo codes

Direct answer

What the first build should solve

Direct answer: Loyalty points, stored wallet value, and promo codes can all increase repeat use, but they solve different problems. Loyalty supports habit, wallet features support convenience, and promo codes support acquisition or campaign bursts.

Detailed answer

How this product usually needs to be structured
