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 Kiosks 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.
