Introduce a restaurant. Get paid when they pay us.
No price to set, nothing to buy, nothing to invoice. You send a link, they sign up, and you earn a commission on what they actually pay — never on a signup that goes nowhere. Your account is live the moment you finish this form.
How you are paid
All of it, on one page, before you sign anything. If you have read our channel partner page, the first and third rules below are the two that are different — and they are different in your favour.
This is the whole difference between an affiliate and a channel partner. The restaurant signs up at our published price, is invoiced by us, and deals with us directly. You are paid a commission for the introduction — you do not buy anything, you do not resell anything, and there is no price for you to set or to get wrong.
Either a one-time share of the restaurant's first month, or a smaller percentage every month they stay. Each link you create carries one of them, and it never changes — so if you want the other deal, you make a second link and share that instead. You can have as many links as you like. We set the rates; you choose which of them a link offers, and every commission line says which deal produced it.
A month that settles nothing simply earns nothing. It never becomes a negative balance, it is never carried forward as a debt, and we will never ask you to fund a customer we were not paid by. Your balance starts at zero and only ever goes up until we pay it.
A restaurant can sign up, be invoiced, and never pay. Nothing is earned at signup — it is earned when the restaurant's payment settles, which is why a line appears at the end of a period rather than the moment somebody uses your link.
Restaurants are billed in their own currency. If your introductions are billed in two, you have two balances and you are paid twice — we will not convert one into the other on your behalf.
Nothing automated moves money. When a balance is due we transfer it and record the bank reference against the lines it closed, so what you were shown is what was paid. That is why we ask for your bank details when you sign up.

Your account is live as soon as you finish — there is no approval queue. Your link and your balance are waiting on the first screen.
People restaurants already listen to
The introductions that convert are the ones made by somebody the owner already trusts. If that is you, this costs you one message and pays for as long as they stay.
You have an audience that eats out
A food page, a review blog, a WhatsApp group people actually read. You are already telling them where to go; this pays you when one of those places signs up.
You know restaurant owners
You are in their kitchens or their offices for another reason entirely — supply, delivery, accounts, design. An introduction costs you one sentence.
You want the simple version
No pricing decisions, no support calls, no invoices to raise. You introduce them and we take it from there. If you would rather set the price and own the relationship, the other door is the channel partner programme.
Four steps, and none of them wait on us
Your portal opens immediately with your own link on the first screen. Nothing is charged and nothing is committed.
A restaurant that signs up through your link arrives attached to you automatically. If they signed up without it, we can attach them by hand — tell us.
They are invoiced by us at our published price and deal with us directly. There is nothing for you to price, collect or chase.
When their payment settles, a commission line appears in your portal. We pay by bank transfer and attach the receipt to the transfer it paid for.

Questions affiliates actually ask
What is the difference between this and the channel partner programme?
A channel partner IS GIVEN a lower price than the published one and decides what the restaurant pays them — they own the pricing and the relationship, and their balance can run either way. There is no bulk order and no stock; the price is simply theirs and not the restaurant's. An affiliate INTRODUCES a restaurant and earns a commission on what that restaurant actually pays us. You set no price at all, and your balance can never go below zero. They are mutually exclusive: a restaurant belongs to one or the other, never both, and the database refuses the combination.
When exactly do I earn something?
When the restaurant's payment settles — not when they sign up, and not when they are invoiced. A restaurant can sign up, be invoiced and never pay; nothing is earned on that, which is the point. Paying on a signup would mean paying for customers we were never paid by, and then asking for it back.
Which of the two payout models am I on?
We set it on your account and your portal shows it beside every line it produced, so you never have to work out which model a payment came from. One is a share of the restaurant's first month; the other is a smaller percentage every month they stay.
Can I ever end up owing you money?
No, and it is not a policy we could quietly change — it is enforced in the database. A commission is floored at zero in the code that works it out, and the ledger table itself refuses a negative amount. A month that settles nothing simply earns nothing.
Do I get to see how the restaurants I introduced are doing?
You see which of your introductions converted and what each one has earned you. You do not see their orders, their customers, their takings or anything else about how they trade. They came to us on your recommendation; being introduced by somebody is not consent to be watched by them.
Is there an approval step?
No. Your account is active the moment you finish signing up, and the portal opens straight away. We do not hold applications in a queue.
What if the restaurants I introduce are in different countries?
Then you hold one balance per currency and are paid separately in each. We will not convert one into another on your behalf — a single combined figure would be a made-up number, not a convenience.
How do I actually get the money?
A bank transfer, made by a person. Nothing automated moves money here. That is why the form asks for your bank details, and why we would rather have them now than chase you for them at the exact moment we owe you something. Every transfer shows up in your portal with its reference and, where there is one, the receipt itself.
