What Gemini actually said

An answer that names the company

“Do casual dining chains offer discounts or rewards programs for frequent diners?”

Yes, casual dining chains frequently offer discounts and rewards programs to encourage repeat business from frequent diners. These programs are a reliable tool for turning one-time customers into regulars.

Common features of these loyalty programs include:

Points-based systems Customers earn points for every dollar spent, which can then be redeemed for free menu items, discounts, or exclusive perks. Examples include Chipotle Rewards (10 points per $1 spent), Pizza Hut's Hut Rewards (10 points per $1 spent, 200 points for a medium pizza), and My Chili's Rewards.
