Email marketing that brings customers back
Email can return $36 for every $1 spent. Per Diem helps restaurants turn customer and order data into targeted, branded emails that give people a reason to order again.
Better emails start with customers you already know
Every order gives you more customer data to work with. Reach everyone, build your own groups, or target segments that update as customer behavior changes.
Build the journey from first order to VIP
Coming soon
Use customer behavior to trigger the right emails at the right stage, from welcoming a new customer to bringing them back, rewarding regulars, and growing them into VIPs.

Turn a campaign idea into an email worth opening
You don't have to spend an afternoon turning a promotion into an email. Start with a prompt, reuse a template, or build with custom HTML, then make the campaign look and sound like your restaurant.
Give every email a better chance of reaching the inbox
Send from your own restaurant domain and monitor sender health directly in Per Diem. A properly authenticated setup helps protect your sender reputation and reduces the risk of legitimate emails being filtered as spam.
Send campaigns when you want. Automate the rest.
Run one off campaigns when you want to reach customers, then let automated emails handle important moments in the customer journey.
Campaigns that drive the next order
Promote new menus, seasonal offers, announcements and more, then send now or schedule for later.
Automated emails for key moments
Keep customers updated automatically with order, pickup, delivery, reservation, gift card and subscription emails.
See what customers respond to
Track delivery, opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribes to understand how every campaign performs and what gets customers to engage.
Keep the conversation going beyond email
Don't just stop at email. Reach customers through SMS and push notifications too, using the channel that fits each message and moment best.
Email for the full story
Share menu launches, promotions, newsletters, and campaigns with room for content, imagery, and branding.
