We’ve got another exciting announcement for you. We’re partnering up with Sausalitos, Germany’s leading cocktail bar and restaurant chain. With their contribution in our private sale, now they can use their QBX to create their own token Sausalitos Coin and use the qiibee infrastructure. And as always, we want to share a little more about our partners in crypto.

About Sausalitos

Sausalitos is a leading leisure restaurant chain in Germany, where patrons can stop by for cocktails and Californian-Mexican-inspired cuisine.

The restaurant chain was established in 1994, inspired by a trip to the City by the Bay. Across from San Francisco lies the city of Sausalitos namesake: Sausalito, California. The founders captured all the diversity, creativity, and good vibes from this sunny little artist colony, and brought it back to Germany in the form of Sausalitos, the restaurant.

Today, the chain employees more than 1,200 people at 41 branches. They serve over 4 million cocktails each year, making them to Germany’s number one cocktail bar chain.

Get rewarded for dining out.

In a nod to its Bay Area origins, Sausalitos is pioneering the way for the food and beverage industry’s tech-based solutions by bringing their loyalty program into the blockchain age. With the latest, cutting-edge technology, come better rewards, ease-of-use, and full freedom of choice for customers.

“As frontrunners in the race to embrace emerging technology, Sausalitos is pleased to be one of the first restaurants in Germany to adopt a blockchain-powered loyalty platform,” said Christoph Heidt, CEO of Sausalitos.

“Traditional loyalty programs and rewards schemes are often seen as short-term fads and there are a number of reasons for this. Most notably, too many reward programs motivate existing or potential customers without delivering real value, usability or freedom. We believe the Sausalitos app offers the solution to these issues by providing higher engagement and customer lifetime value, all while mitigating the risks of a huge data breach by being on the blockchain.”

Blockchain transforms your cocktail into coins.

It doesn’t stop with the cocktails, of course. Any and all Sausalitos purchases qualify for token rewards. And it all starts with qiibee.

The Sausalitos Coin, an ERC20 Ethereum-based token, will be available on the Sausalitos app. So, all you’ll have to do is download the app, make a purchase at Sausalitos, scan a QR code, and start earning. And you can do it all while sipping a Californian-Mexican-inspired Sausalitos cocktail.

Sausalitos Tokens will exist only on the private qiibee blockchain. This (1) minimizes transaction costs and (2) speeds up transaction times, thereby ensuring immediate exchange between loyalty tokens and enabling redemptions within physical stores.

Additionally, users can exchange Sausalitos Tokens for QBX on the public Ethereum blockchain, which would allow further exchanges into crypto or fiat currency. However, this feature will only be available after the qiibee crowd sale, when QBX will become freely transferable.

Plus, Sausalito’s has been one of our early contributors in our ongoing Private Sale. So this budding new partnership brings us closer to our goals for this summer’s TGE.

And once you start earning Sausalitos very own token, you can either use, or exchange them for other loyalty tokens or eventually for cash and crypto.

Best of all, when Sausalitos implements our tech, you’ll get rewarded for what you do best: eating and drinking.
