In the heart of Songkhla’s old town, nestled among heritage streets and street food legends, one name has stood the test of time — Roon Khanom Khai. Renowned for its signature egg cakes with a crispy golden crust and soft center, this iconic Thai dessert shop has captured the hearts of locals and tourists alike for generations.

But in today’s fast-evolving consumer landscape, tradition alone isn’t enough. Brands must meet customers where they are — online, mobile, and experience-driven. That’s why Roon Khanom Khai has taken a bold step forward, using digital innovation to redefine what customer loyalty, engagement, and growth look like in the food and beverage space.

From Neighborhood Favorite to Digital Darling

Growing at 1,000% year-on-year and setting sights on 100 million baht in revenue in 2025, Roon Khanom Khai is more than just a bakery — it’s the first to define the “Songkhla Kanom Khai” category. Today, it’s a standout case study of how traditional businesses can scale by embracing digital transformation and gamified engagement.

Its partnership with Freedom World, a community-driven platform that blends real-world shopping with Web3-inspired loyalty and rewards, marks a new era. Every customer interaction now becomes a pathway to retention, discovery, and meaningful brand connection.

Smart Tools Driving Real Business Growth

With four major Bangkok locations — EmQuartier, Emsphere, Emporium, and Seacon Square — Roon Khanom Khai is leveraging Freedom World’s interactive maps and branch discovery tools to direct foot traffic straight to its stores. Customers can now easily find, visit, and engage with the brand in just a few taps.

 

ROON Points: A Loyalty Program Built for Today

ROON Points are Roon Khanom Khai’s branded loyalty tokens, fully integrated into the Freedom World app. With 1 ROON Point = 1 THB, customers can:

  • Earn points through purchases and engagement

  • Top up for bonus perks

  • Redeem in-store or for app-exclusive deals

This data-driven model goes beyond stamp cards — it deepens loyalty while offering measurable insights.

Seamless Pre-Order & Pickup

  • Customers can pre-order cakes in-app and pick them up in-store, bridging online convenience with offline delight — ideal for today’s digital-first shopper.

Campaigns That Convert

  • 214% increase in new joiners (April 2025 to May 2025)

  • 15% boost in transactions
    Roon Khanom Khai is turning digital strategy into real-world results — and this is only the beginning.
