Malaysia F&B Lifeline: How This CRM System Turns One-Time Guests into Loyal Fans (Ocard Case Study: 493% Redemption Boost)

In Malaysia’s highly competitive F&B market, do you face the same challenges as Mr. Wu, a prominent Taiwanese F&B brand owner?

  • Most customers are one-time consumers who visit once and never return.
  • Business is unstable, making it impossible to predict customer traffic.
  • This fluctuation in guest flow leads to a staffing nightmare, making scheduling and cost control incredibly difficult.

These aren’t just Mr. Wu’s problems; they are the daily reality for many F&B owners in Malaysia. They rely on traditional paper vouchers, leading to high marketing costs with no way to track effectiveness, resulting in a business revenue rollercoaster.

The root cause of all these issues points to one critical acronym: CRM (Customer Relationship Management).

Why Are Malaysian F&B Owners Searching for "CRM"?

When you Google “CRM,” you aren’t just looking for a piece of software.

Your real search intent is:

  1. How do I stop losing customers?
  2. How can I know who my customers are and when they will come back?
  3. How can I stabilize my revenue at a lower cost?

Traditional CRM systems can be complex and expensive. However, Ocard Malaysia offers a lightweight, highly effective CRM solution built specifically for F&B. It directly answers your search intent, and Mr. Wu’s case is the perfect proof.

The Solution: How Ocard’s CRM Solved the Crisis

Mr. Wu realized that without “data,” all marketing is just guesswork. He chose Ocard to implement a powerful CRM strategy in three steps:

1. Build a Membership System: Saying Goodbye to One-Time Guests

First, Ocard helped Mr. Wu easily set up a branded digital membership system. Customers can join instantly with a simple QR code scan, finally giving the brand its own “customer database.”

 

  • This solved: Who the customers are, what they bought, and when they visited.

2. Automated Benefits & Ocoin: Creating a Reason to Return

The core of Ocard’s CRM is turning consumer behavior into data. Mr. Wu utilized Ocoin (points feedback) and exclusive member events, ensuring that every Ringgit spent by a member added value to their next visit.

  • This solved: Customers having no incentive to come back.

3. The Killer Move: Redemption Campaigns

This is where the Ocard CRM truly shines. Mr. Wu recently launched a one-month “Ocoin Redemption Campaign.” Members could use their accumulated Ocoin to redeem popular items for free or at a special price.

 

  • This solved: How to “summon” customers back to the store at a specific time.

The Stunning Results: Lower Costs, 493% Redemption Boost

The data doesn’t lie. After implementing the Ocard CRM system, Mr. Wu’s F&B business was transformed.

  • Before Ocard:
     
    • Reliant on costly, untraceable paper vouchers.
    • Volatile customer traffic; staffing was pure “guesswork.”
    • Low customer loyalty and unstable revenue.
  • After Ocard (The CRM Effect):

    • Massively Lower Marketing Costs: No more paper. All vouchers, points, and events are managed in the Ocard App/Web, making all results 100% traceable.
    • Significant Retention Boost: Ocard’s CRM helps the average F&B business increase its return customer rate by 15–20%.
    • Stable Traffic, Smarter Staffing: Redemption campaigns create predictable busy periods, allowing for precise staff scheduling and smoother operations.

And that one-month Redemption campaign? It set a new record:

Not only did it attract a massive number of new members, but after the campaign, the total revenue related to redemption skyrocketed by 493% compared to the period before the event.
