Концептуальні засади формування інноваційних програм лояльності у сфері готельно-ресторанного бізнесу

The article examines the essence, current trends, and innovative approaches to establishing a loyalty system in the hotel and restaurant industry. It has been proven that loyalty programs are a strategic marketing management tool that helps increase consumer satisfaction, increase the frequency of repeat visits, and ensure competitive advantages for establishments. It is determined that traditional forms of loyalty, particularly bonus, discount, and accumulation programs, are gradually giving way to innovative models that combine digitalization, personalization, gamification, and the integration of cultural and gastronomic elements. The need to implement individualized approaches to building loyalty programs based on the analysis of customer behavioral data, their preferences, and motivational factors is substantiated. Particular attention is paid to the use of CRM systems, mobile applications, and Big Data technologies. It is noted that gamification is an effective method of increasing customer interest in interacting with the brand, creating a positive emotional experience, and contributing to long-term commitment to the establishment. The study presents a model for the formation and cyclical management of an innovative loyalty ecosystem, which includes four main stages: market research, goal setting and positioning, strategy and tactics development, and implementation and effectiveness monitoring. The analysis of the main types of loyalty programs enabled us to identify their advantages and disadvantages, as well as to propose a combined model as the most effective for modern conditions in the restaurant business. It was found that the effectiveness of loyalty programs largely depends on the level of staff training, the corporate culture of the institution, service standardization, and a systematic approach to managing customer experiences.
