McCormick & Schmick’s Rewards

McCormick & Schmicks Store Front




The former McCormick & Schmick’s Preferred Guest program converted to the Landry’s Select Club at the end of 2012. Landry’s Select Club is the single, multi-brand restaurant loyalty rewards program that allows members to earn and redeem at more than 400 locations in 31 states throughout the United States. We know from our LoyaltyPulse national study of consumer attitudes and behavior relating to restaurant rewards programs that 73% of consumers want a rewards program honored at multiple restaurant brands. Good news for McCormick & Schmick’s and Landry’s Select Club. Member’s be be more happy with the expanded versatility of their program.

Here’s a little bit about McCormick & Schmicks:

Bill McCormick and Doug Schmick teamed up in the 1970s before going on to establish more than 80 restaurants throughout the country. Over time, McCormick & Schmick’s became the nation’s premier family of seafood restaurants. The combination of an open imagination and a respect for tradition is what makes McCormick & Schmick’s the classic and successful business that it is today.

Each McCormick & Schmick’s restaurant is uniquely designed to create an inviting, original and relaxed atmosphere, where guests can enjoy the highest quality dining experience. Our restaurants are situated in a broad array of locations – from downtown urban cores to suburban retail-driven centers.

Each McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant’s menu is printed twice daily, featuring the signature “Fresh List” highlighting an impressive number of fresh seafood varieties, in addition to aged steaks, poultry, entrée salads and pasta. McCormick & Schmick’s commitment to local freshness is apparent in the seasonally inspired dishes and regionally inspired preparations offered.

Morton’s the Steakhouse – Landry’s Select Club

Mortons the Steakhouse Logo




Morton’s has a great reputation and legacy in the fine steakhouse category.  Along with a diverse collection of other restaurants in the Landry’s family, Morton’s operates within the Landry’s Select Club – a restaurant loyalty/rewards program. With such a broad assortment of restaurant brands in the fold, the Landry’s Select Club offers what we know from research (The LoyaltyPulse Study) to be a very appealing proposition to consumers: the opportunity to earn rewards using one program across many restaurant brands.

Landry’s Select is a fee-based program. Members pay $25 to join and receive a $25 reward immediately. Membership fees are effective at gaining commitment to a restaurant rewards program. When members are considering their choice for a dining event, the fact that they have paid a fee to join a rewards program at one restaurant is a considerable factor when making that choice. It serves as one of the ‘tie-breakers.’

We also know from our research (The LoyaltyPulse Study) that just 10% of consumers have paid a fee to join a restaurant rewards program. However, among those consumers who dine for business (either business exclusively or business and pleasure), nearly one in four have paid a fee to join a restaurant rewards program (22%). Consumer acceptance rate increases with respect to the payment of an enrollment fee if there is an immediate incentive in place.

Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House Rewards

Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House Logo




Here’s a description of Del Frisco’s from the restaurant’s website:

Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House planted its roots in Dallas more than 20 years ago. We embody the rich tradition of fine American steak houses, amazing guests through our impeccable chef-driven cuisine, extensive award-winning wine list and unparalleled hospitality. We offer our guests an unforgettable experience in a stunning, energetic atmosphere perfect for special occasions, business affairs or a grand night on the town.

Del Frisco’s is part of the Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group which also includes Sullivan’s Steakhouse and Del Frisco’s Grille. This restaurant loyalty/rewards program that spans three brands charges a one-time membership fee. A couple of important notes about loyalty program membership fees:

  • Members pay a one-time fee to join.  Membership fees are effective at gaining commitment to a restaurant rewards program.  When members are considering their choice for a dining event, the fact that they’ve paid a fee to join a rewards program at one restaurant is a considerable factor when making that choice.  It serves as one of the ‘tie-breakers.’
  • We know from our research (The LoyaltyPulse Study) that just 10% of consumers have paid a fee to join a restaurant rewards program.  However, among those consumers who dine for business (either business exclusively or business and pleasure), nearly one in four have paid a fee to join a restaurant rewards program (22%).
  • We also know that consumer acceptance rate increases with respect to the payment of an enrollment fee if there is an immediate incentive in place.  That immediate incentive exists in this program in the form of a $25 dining credit issued electronically once the member has paid the $25 enrollment fee and enrolled.

With three different restaurant brands participating in this program (Sullivan’s Steakhouse, Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House, Del Frisco’s Grille) the Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group has the opportunity to drive incremental business beyond a single-brand program. We know from our research (The LoyaltyPulse Study) that 73% of consumers find a program that spans multiple brands to be appealing.

The Palm 837 Club




The Palm’s 837 Club is one of those restaurant loyalty programs that have been around so long that it’s been a model for other restaurants to use when contemplating and developing their own restaurant loyalty programs. The 837 Club is one of the early models that proved the viability of membership fees in rewards programs.

From the company’s website:

We often say that The Palm isn’t a chain – it’s a family. This is true for our staff members, our customers, and for the extended family of loyal patrons who participate in The Palm’s 837 Club.

The 837 Club is our way of giving back to the guests who keep coming back. Once you become a member, you’ll receive Club Points every time you visit The Palm that can be redeemed for special rewards ranging from a complimentary dessert to a weekend getaway for two. A one-time fee of $25 earns you membership and a $25 gift card towards your next Palm meal or happy hour bar visit. You’ll also receive our members-only newsletter, Just Rewards, an insider’s guide to The Palm featuring the latest news plus members only offers and events.

The structure of the program is a classic points to rewards model, in which points are banked and converted to rewards when the member decides to convert to rewards. You can save the points, you can redeem the points. Some members in programs like this accumulate so many points that they need high-end rewards as a target to save for. And there is no shortage of those high-end rewards in the 837 Club. Under the current program structure you can get anything from an appetizer or dessert at the 250 point level to a $200 Tiffany and Company Gift card at the 2,000 point level to a 4-day/3-night trip for two to France’s Baron Eric De Rothschild’s private chateau at the 150,000 level.
