If you are the type of person who eats at the same handful of restaurants again and again and you like saving money at them however you can, then you are going to want to see if your favorites are on this list of restaurant apps that offer rewards.
Please note: When I was researching for this list of restaurant apps that offer rewards, I did not download and sign up for each and every app. Instead, I got as much information about the app and what rewards, coupons or other specials it offered from the download area on my phone as possible. Some apps gave me plenty of information and others not so much.
I also noticed that in some apps you have to use the app to purchase to get your points, while in others it is connected to a card you store in your wallet, others you scan at check out, and still others you scan in your receipt. When you download the apps the instructions of how each point program or other app members benefits should be explained to you in the app.

Prefer Locally Owned And Operated Restaurants? Try these apps for discounts
Groupon
Download the Groupon app and enable location abilities for it and you can then find if any local restaurants in the area you are in are offering Groupons.
Living Social
Living Social works the same as Groupon. I actually use it more than Groupon. Some deals overlap between the two apps, but usually each one has at least one or more deals exclusive to their app.
Restaurant.com
Restaurant.com offers discounted gift certificates on local restaurants, often with a minimum purchase limit. For instance, the one for a restaurant near me was a $10 gift certificate for $4, but you had to spend $20 to use it.
Two Apps That Will Pay You For Your Restaurant Receipts
CoinOut
CoinOut earns you cash back with almost any receipt/purchase. You can choose from three payment options (PayPal, Bank Deposit, or Amazon) and two of them have zero minimum earning amounts. There is a limit on how many receipts you can upload in a day, but the receipts can be a few days old before you upload them–which is a nice feature for us forgetful folks.
Go here to sign up for CoinOut and then download the app.
Receipt Hog
This app is so simple to use. Upload a receipt by taking a picture of it with your smartphone and watch your points and spins add up in Receipt Hog. It works at not only at restaurants but also grocery stores, gas stations, clothing stores and more.
Go here to sign up for Receipt Hog. Use the code YECT1667 during sign-up to earn free spins.
