Loql is a voluntary group that helps reconnect communities and, in doing so, improves the lives of people in those communities.
For many businesses, particularly small ones, digital is difficult. Building face-to-face relationships with customers is hard enough. Enticing and engaging them by digital means is an entirely different matter.
Often they turn to social networks as a solution or simply pass the problem to third parties who take a hefty bite out of their margin, while delivering very little added value in return.
We think it’s time for a new way that puts the power back in businesses’ hands without taking money from their pocket.
Loql is a simple to use, affordable and open digital platform that allows small businesses to better connect and interact with the communities around them.
Customers get a great experience that’s secure and trustworthy. Businesses get an effective digital channel without the huge costs that come with third parties. The relationship with the customer, margin, and data are all in the hands of the business - not a software company.
We’re a team of volunteers doing all this because we think it’s the right thing to do - particularly during a crisis. If you’re interested in helping out, get in touch - we’d love to hear from you.
Right now we’re focusing on food. We’re all cut off from the joy of having someone cook for us - and food businesses in communities around the world are dying.
If you're a restaurant, pub or cafe and want to get started with online ordering, get started now.
