POINTS ARE POINTLESS: INDIVIDUAL RESTAURANTS LAUNCHES NEW LOYALTY SCHEME FOCUSED ON EXPERIENCES

Club IR is the new highly anticipated loyalty scheme from Individual Restaurantswith unforgettable experiences, exceptional offers and real rewards.

Onin.London spent a night at Piccolino Heddon Street to find out what it means to be a member of Club IR. It was more than we could have dreamed off.

The highly anticipated new loyalty scheme from Individual Restaurant Group, Club IR, launched Thursday 4th January. The new programme elevates what diners can expect from a loyalty card, ditching the tired ‘points’ system and instead focuses on giving guests what they really want; personalised offers, exceptional service and moneycan’tbuy experiences.

Personalisation is at the heart of Club IR, and underpins the three tiers; ‘Club’, ‘Black’ and ‘Diamond’. Members on every tier can expect the ultimate personalised experience as part of Club IR – from a round of drinks on your birthday to exclusive invitations to VIP events such as luxurious Club IR parties, top sporting events and once-in-a-lifetime trips to top culinary destinations.

From incredible seasonal cuisine and unforgettable steaks at Restaurant Bar & Grill, to the finest authentic Italian cuisine at Piccolino and Naples inspired Riva Blu, Club IR rewards guests across every restaurant.

As part of the new programme, members will be the first to know about news and events, and will be privy to a variety of specially curated in-restaurant perks such as 50% off wine on ‘Wine Wednesdays’ as well as complimentary birthday drinks year round. As well as the always-on offers, members can unlock a world of unforgettable experiences in the form of luxurious, exclusive to Club IR, parties, access to top sporting events, once-in-a-lifetime trips and at-home premium dining experiences.

The entire evening was amazing, with personalised cocktails, amazing food, gorgeous wines and plenty of fun for all that attended. Club IR didn’t feel like a stuffy members bar, it felt personalised and above all almost like a family. It’s a members club I would love to be part of.

We can’t thank Club IR for making us feel so welcome and part of the Club IR family. We left Club IR desperate to come back.
