First thing you are probably thinking is what does it do? and is it worth the space on your phone (I will tell you it beats having to clip a coupon or your Pokémon Go app that you have not used lately).
Restaurants want you to be a repeat customer, so if you are not taking advantage of their promotions, you’re losing out my fellow guy-you-cock-ooh (btw, it’s pronounced gyoo-cock-ooh).
If you have friends or are cool with your mom/dad, you will receive 50 points per friend/parent because this app will pay off as soon as you download it.
Right off, you can get s’mores or ice cream.
Why Download the Gyu-Kaku App
The last thing you need is another app on your phone to clutter things up while taking up valuable hard drive space (like that Pokemon Go app that you haven’t touched in a while). Hard drive space is one reason most steer clear of downloading yet another app, but this one is worth the download if you answer “yes” to the two questions below:
- FREE things: you’re going for the first time and you like free things.
- Frequent Diner: why wouldn’t you want to cash in for being a frequent customer.
If you eat at Gyu-Kaku, even if it is your first time, I highly recommend you download the app because it pays off from the beginning (and you can’t say that about Skee-Ball).

More Rewarding Than Skee-Ball and a Magikarp
Remember playing hours of Skee-ball to get 10,000 tickets to only find you that your choice of prizes are either a ball point pen or an eraser? Well, the Gyu-Kaku app is more rewarding, and you also get fed.
Just by Joining

As of the time of this post, you instantly get 100 points for downloading the app

It’s Your Birthday

Regardless if you have friends, Gyu-Kaku has you covered for your birthday, and I can show up if you’re buying the beer.
Lure Your Friends In

You both benefit because you get 50 points, but so does your friend. So this is how we’d both benefit if you don’t have a friend, is if you use my code “GregTan9245” (consider us friends if you do).

$10 OFF
Until Sept. 20th, 2017, you also get $10 off when you spend $30.
The Downsides of the Gyu-Kaku App
There is ONE annoyingly dumb feature of the app which is after you accrue points, you will be notified of the expiration of points (you can not turn it off, so you will get notifications all the time).
I had to turn off notifications via my phone, not the app.
Not every location is on board with the app, and I guess some of them are like “naw, we’d rather not reward you with anything if you like coming here.”
Am I Getting Paid to Say This?
No, I wish, and I’m just trying to hook you up. In fact, I dismissed the app till a friend in Texas told me how he was benefitting from it (thanks Raimbault family). Too many companies come out with useless and senseless apps, but not Gyu-kaku in terms of rewarding frequent diners.
