Loyalty lives in the phone.
The till lives on the counter.
Ancorali is a small box beside the till that puts a loyalty card into your customers’ phones — and a till that takes orders, sends them to the kitchen and counts the day. Both are being built right now.
What you are reading today
A presentation, not a shop. Nothing is open yet: no account can be created, nothing can be ordered. The three pages that follow describe what we are building — and the last one says where we stand, without embroidery.
Loyalty
The customer holds their phone near the box. The card installs itself in the Wallet, and fills up on its own at every visit. Nothing to download, nothing to dig out of a wallet.

Take the order, send it to the kitchen, print the ticket, open the drawer, count the day. And loyalty in the same place, because it is the same counter.
See it →What Ancorali will not do
Some things we have decided not to do. They matter as much as the rest, so we may as well write them down.
- No app to download. The card lives in the Wallet already on the phone — the one that holds plane tickets and boarding passes.
- No plastic card, no ink stamp. Nothing to find at the bottom of a bag, nothing to buy again when the booklet runs out.
- No data resold. A shop’s customers belong to that shop. We do not rent them to anyone, and we do not turn them into a list sold elsewhere.
- No figure we have not measured. Until we have months of real counter behind us, we will not promise a percentage.
Do you run a shop?
We are looking for shopkeepers to try it, not to sell to. If you have a counter and a little patience, write to us — we answer ourselves.
