Steps | Expected results (POS) | Expected results (RBI app) | Loyalty API usage (POS) |
---|
Guest opens the Loyalty code page on the RBI app | | | |
Cashier is prompted to add a loyalty code | | | |
Guest either scans the loyalty code, or tells the 6 digit code to the cashier | | | |
Guest opens an reward on the RBI app in a different device, using a different user, and chooses to redeem in restaurant | | | |
Guest (on their second device) either scans the reward’s QR code, or tells the 6 digit code to the cashier | Error modal shows in the POS, letting the cashier know that the last scan was made using a different user account Contents of the second scan are not added to the guest’s basket (so the current basket remains unchanged) The second scan is cancelled/voided Initial order can continue normally
| The reward’s loyalty points cost is temporarily subtracted from the guest’s loyalty points balance Loyalty points that will be accrued after the order will not be added to the guest’s loyalty points balance at this stage Reward pre-selection is cleared A few seconds later, the loyalty points are returned to the second user
| Keep track of the current basket contents including rewards Call the Identify endpoint again, and wait for the response The new transaction will come with a different loyaltyId Check the Loyalty ID of this transaction does not match Loyalty ID of previous transaction Void this second transaction Keep the current basket open with previous transaction

3. Stores without Loyalty
It is possible for some stores in a given Franchisee to now support Loyalty (either temporarily, e.g. during Loyalty rollout, or permanently e.g. due to commercial reasons). In this scenario, affected stores will have loyalty disabled in RBI’s RAM system and the behaviour needs to be different for POS as well.
3.1. Redeem offers
In this scenario, guests pre-select offers on the RBI app and continue their journey in the Kiosk by scanning the generated code. In this scenario, it is recommended that Kiosks show a warning advising guests that they will not earn loyalty points with this transaction.

3.2. Attempt to redeem rewards
In this scenario, guests pre-select rewards on the RBI app and continue their journey in the Kiosk by scanning the generated code. Because the store does not support Loyalty, rewards cannot be added to the guest’s basket.
