FAQs
1. What happened to my old TASTE BUD account?
All registered accounts with sales activity on or after 1/1/2019 were transferred to the new program and are still active. Brownie Points, Bakers Dozen Points, and $ To Spend were imported and are saved on your account.
Unregistered accounts (even those with activity and point balances) were not transferred. Guests with unregistered cards can register and continue to use their cards.
2. How do I access my new account?
If you have an active account as described above, you should have received an email around January 4th with directions to create a password for your new account and complete other required information.
3. Do I need a physical TASTE BUD card?
Existing cards can still be swiped at register, but we are moving to a touch-less system and will no longer issue new physical cards. You can use your phone number, name, email, or the check-in button on the TASTE app when ordering at register. When ordering logged in to your account online* or through the TASTE app, your account information will be automatically applied.
4. Tell me about membership tiers.

TASTE BUD Tier – up to 499 Brownie Points earned per calendar year
Silver Tier – 500 to 2999 Brownie Points earned per calendar year
Gold Tier – more than 3000 Brownie Points earned per calendar year
Please note that Brownie Points are earned on pre-tax, pre-tip subtotals and do not include Gift Cards purchases.

*THE FINE PRINT: Brownie Points are earned based on whole dollars spent on all TASTE purchases, excluding gift cards, taxes, gratuities, shipping & handling, delivery charges, TASTE tees, space rental fees, event booking fees, event staffing, event planning, or certain discounted, returned or refunded merchandise. Points are accrued as soon as the card is activated but Rewards are only available after the account is registered online. Rewards cannot be exchanged for cash or merchandise other than those offered with a particular reward. In the event our TASTE BUD Rewards system is “down” or otherwise inoperable for any reason, rewards cannot and will not accrue on any purchases made during the system outage. The TASTE BUD Rewards program may be changed or terminated at any time.
