Adentro, the leading guest marketing solution for the restaurant, food and beverage, hospitality, and retail industry, and Thanx, the top loyalty and guest engagement platform for restaurants, announced a strategic partnership that enhances how restaurants acquire loyalty members. This integration enables restaurants to effortlessly capture guest information and convert them into loyalty members — driving increased customer lifetime value and boosting same-store revenue growth.

Adentro allows restaurants to automatically gather customer information seamlessly through their in-store Guest Wi-Fi sign-up flow, allowing them to learn more about their guests’ visiting their physical locations. Adentro’s marketing technology provides the ability for restaurants to engage with their guests to bring them and others like them back to their locations to increase repeat visits and simultaneously enroll them into the restaurant’s loyalty program to further grow customer lifetime value.

Thanx’s API-first approach enables seamless technology integration and personalized guest experiences. Unlike traditional loyalty providers, Thanx offers frictionless, card-linked loyalty programs and advanced data-driven insights that help brands understand guest behavior and drive incremental revenue by targeting infrequent visitors with personalized incentives. The platform combines loyalty, marketing automation, and feedback collection to support holistic guest engagement to empower businesses with tools to make data-informed decisions.

This integration addresses a crucial challenge for restaurants: acquiring new guests and bringing them back to their locations while converting them to loyalty members by fostering lasting customer relationships to achieve profitable same-store sales growth.

Zach Goldstein, Founder & CEO of Thanx, added, “Restaurants know their guests are walking through the door, but capturing those visits as actionable data — and turning them into long-term loyalty — has been a major challenge. With Adentro, restaurants can now identify in-store guests effortlessly, and with Thanx, they can drive repeat visits and measurable revenue growth. This partnership gives restaurants a direct, data-driven way to convert first-time visitors into lifelong customers.”
