It has been an exciting year at Punchh as we continue to enhance our capabilities and engagement features to deliver a rewarding customer experience. We’ve also been layering on to the customer experience by thinking about what it takes for restaurants and retailers to really win. The quickest path to victory is clearly when the employee, customer, and corporate experiences are all in sync.
That’s why we are thrilled to have been selected and won several awards this year that mark our commitment to supporting our customers and employees as they deliver personalized loyalty and offers that drive sales and lasting engagement. The spirit of these awards echoes our mission to continue providing innovative solutions that bring together the three pillars in your organization that unify the customer, employee and corporate experience.
2022 MarTech Breakthrough Awards: Loyalty Marketing Innovation Award (August)

Mobile Star Awards: Innovative Mobile Engagement & Loyalty and Innovative Mobile Customer Engagement Success Story (May)
Since its inception in 2002, the Mobile Stars Awards program has displayed the best and most innovative mobile apps, in both the consumer and business spaces, in addition to mobile tech companies, devices and success stories. MobileVillage editors choose the winners along with the site’s mobile users. MobileVillage is focused on promoting innovative, user-focused mobile technology, and through the Mobile Stars Awards program, can foster additional tech alliances, product development and overall excitement.
Punchh took home the Innovative Mobile Engagement & Loyalty award in addition to the Innovative Mobile Customer Engagement Success Story award, which highlighted our customer, Cheba Hut.

2022 Fast Casual Movers and Shakers (May)
For nearly two decades, Fast Casual has been honoring the restaurant industry’s most creative, innovative and nimble concepts/executives, listing them all in their annual 100 Movers and Shakers list. This list is not solely focused on which brands were the most profitable, instead they aim to honor the brands and executives that encompass the three qualities mentioned above: creative, innovative and nimble. In 2022, 75 brands and 25 restaurant executives were selected and presented in the annual report. Punchh is partnered with 20 brands and five top executives that were named in this list. These concepts embodied the three qualities in several ways, ranging from developing new menu items to building a loyal fanbase.
