St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador
Digital loyalty cards, built in St. John’s.
Someone local who will actually walk through your door.
Keporia builds loyalty cards that live in your customers’ Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, and runs the programme for you every month. We are based here. That means the kickoff happens at your counter, the staff training happens at a shift change, and when the scan rate slips in month three somebody drives over rather than sending an email about it.
Where we work, and who we work with
Deliberately not just Water Street. The independents with the most to gain are usually the ones a few streets over.
Duckworth, Water, Rawlins Cross, Georgestown
High footfall, high competition for attention, and a lot of one-time visitors who never become regulars. The card is how you find out which ones came back.
The neighbourhood trade
A genuinely local customer base that already comes weekly. This is where a loyalty card has the shortest path to paying for itself, because the frequency is already there and nobody is measuring it.
Torbay Road, Kenmount, Mount Pearl, CBS
Plaza and strip-mall independents competing with national chains that all have loyalty programmes. This is the gap the card closes fastest.
Farmers’ market and pop-up vendors
You see the same faces every Saturday and have no way to recognise them. A seasonal setup with a different reward structure — ask us before assuming the café recipe fits.
What being local actually buys you
Every wallet loyalty platform in the world will sell you software. None of them will stand at your till on a Tuesday morning and watch whether your staff are actually asking. That is the difference, and it is the whole reason a local agency is worth more than a $29-a-month subscription.
Concretely, in the metro area: we run the kickoff at your counter rather than on a call. We train your staff in person, at a shift change, and everyone enrols their own phone before we leave. We bring the printed material and put it where it should go — and photograph it, so in month three we can tell whether the table tent has quietly disappeared. And if the scan rate drops, we come back.
I’m Abid. Before Keporia I was an operations manager here in Newfoundland, after years in food service, customer service and retail — writing the schedules, running food cost, working the line when the line needed working. The thing nobody could ever tell me was how many regulars we had. That is what this fixes.

The kind of business this fits
Local questions
Do you actually come in person?
Yes, and it is most of why we are worth paying for locally. In and around St. John’s we come to you for the kickoff, we train your staff at a shift change, we bring the printed material and put it in place, and if the scan rate drops in month three we come back and retrain rather than sending an email about it. Outside the metro area we do the same work remotely.
Which areas do you cover in person?
St. John’s, Mount Pearl, Paradise, Torbay, Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s, Conception Bay South and Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove. Further afield in Newfoundland we will still take the job — we will just be honest about which parts happen over a screen.
Are you only for downtown businesses?
No, and deliberately so. Churchill Square, Rawlins Cross, Georgestown, Quidi Vidi, the Torbay Road corridor and Mount Pearl are all full of independents with the same repeat-visit problem and far less competition for a customer’s attention than Water Street. Farmers’ market vendors work too, with a seasonal setup.
How much is it?
$99 CAD once to set up and $149 CAD a month for one location, plus $49 CAD a month for each additional location. HST added where applicable. Same price whether you are on Duckworth Street or in Mount Pearl.
I run one small café. Is this actually worth it for me?
It depends on a number you can work out before you spend anything. At $149 a month and a $4.75 average ticket, you need roughly one extra visit a day across your whole customer base to break even. If your shop cannot plausibly produce that, we will tell you so and you should not buy it. We would rather say no than have you cancel in month three.
Do you work with the farmers’ market vendors?
Yes, and it is a good fit — a market stall sees the same faces weekly and has no way to recognise them. The setup is seasonal and the reward structure is different from a storefront, so talk to us before assuming the standard recipe applies.
Fifteen minutes at your counter.
Not a sales meeting — I’ll look at what you already do for repeat customers and tell you honestly whether this would move it.
