Face to Face Noodle House is a local brand with its heritage and history goes back to about a century ago; inspired by Jook Sing noodles made by the founder’s great grandfather. With the vision of bringing authentic and high-quality Sarawak noodles to the masses, they believe in creating good food and having sincere “face to face” connections with customers.

CHALLENGE

The client would like to start a loyalty program to drive customer engagement to the brand. We propose to take the opportunity to launch the app with their nationwide campaign where their customers could win generous amounts of cash prizes by attempting to consume their specially crafted version of Hot & Spicy Pan Mee Noodles at their stores.

Drawing from a previous experience they had when they ran a similar campaign, automating and digitising the sign-up process for the contest will lower cost in printing forms and manpower to manually distribute, collect and process them. With a digitised way to collect entries, customer's details are stored and recorded on one platform that is easy to refer to and will significantly minimise human error and discourage fraud. It would prose as a challenge to monitor the participation of customers manually as each store’s manpower also varies across each location. Therefore, the digital loyalty app will ensure the smooth execution of the campaign across all their franchisees.
