Your clients are locked to you.

When a restaurant you introduce becomes a client, it's locked to you for a set period. Every program they join during that time pays you. We offer them our other programs by email and text, so one introduction keeps paying.

Questions

Straight Answers

Is this MLM?

No. There's nothing to buy, no fee to join, and no pay for signing anyone up. Every dollar comes from a real restaurant using a real program. Overrides are paid by us on top of your team's commissions, never taken out of them.

Does it cost anything to join?

No. No fees, no inventory, no quotas and no monthly minimum.

Do I have to sell?

Your job is the introduction and a friendly check-in. Restaurants sign up online, and our team handles the paperwork, the partner submission and the email and text follow-up.

How and when do I get paid?

Monthly, by direct deposit. You earn a commission when a deal funds or a client's fee is collected. It's paid in the next monthly payout after our program partner pays us.

You'll see every deal and every dollar in your portal. A W-9 is required before your first payout.

I own a restaurant. Does mine count?

Yes. Your own location counts like any other restaurant you introduce.

Can I bring my team?

Yes. Once you're approved, your portal includes your personal team link. Everyone who joins through it is on your team, and you earn overrides on the business they produce.

What happens after I join?

We review every new affiliate. Once you're approved, you'll get an email to set up your portal, sign your affiliate agreement and claim your personal links. Then you're live.

How much can I make?

That depends on you: how many owners you know and how many you introduce. We don't promise income. The example above uses our real averages so you can see exactly how the math works.

Restaurants Need What We Have. You Know Who They Are.
