Bambu at FSTEC 2025: Powering the Future of Foodservice Technology

On September 14 and 15, foodservice leaders from across the country will gather at the Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee, Florida for FSTEC 2025. This event has become one of the most important stages for restaurant operators, technology providers, and innovators to connect, share insights, and explore the tools shaping the future of the industry. With 70+ expert speakers, over 230 technology partners, and hundreds of decision-makers in attendance, FSTEC is more than a trade show. It is where the foodservice industry looks ahead to what is next.

Restaurants and quick-service operators face a unique set of challenges. Customers are growing weary of downloading and managing branded apps, while the costs of printing loyalty cards or distributing paper coupons continue to climb. At the same time, promotions, emails, and texts often operate in silos, creating disjointed customer journeys. Add in rising competition for guest loyalty, and it is clear that brands need a simpler, more connected solution.

That is where Bambu comes in. We help foodservice brands tap into the mobile wallets customers already use every day: Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and Samsung Wallet. Instead of forcing guests to download an app or keep track of a physical card, restaurants can deliver loyalty programs, coupons, and promotions directly into a customer’s digital wallet. This approach creates convenience for the customer while reducing costs and complexity for the brand.

At Booth #727, Bambu will showcase how digital wallet passes can transform foodservice engagement. With our platform, operators can:

  • Launch digital loyalty programs without building or maintaining an app

  • Send real-time push notifications for offers, rewards, and menu updates

  • Use geofenced promotions to drive foot traffic when customers are nearby

  • Automatically update wallet passes with new offers or points balances

  • Eliminate costs tied to printing and distributing physical cards or coupons

FSTEC 2025 is about connecting innovation to real-world foodservice challenges, and Bambu is ready to demonstrate how mobile wallet technology fits into that vision. If you are attending, visit us at Booth #727 to see a live demo and learn how wallet passes can simplify operations while driving loyalty and repeat visits. If you will not be at the show, you can still see the power of Bambu in action. Book a demo today and discover how digital wallet passes can help your brand deliver the convenience and engagement your customers want.
