Features that drive covers and revenue

How the promoter network helps restaurants
Promoters refer diners to your restaurant — reservations, group bookings, private events. They earn commission only when they bring in business. You get more covers without fixed marketing spend; it's performance-based.
- More covers — promoters drive reservations and groups to your venue
- You only pay when you earn — commission on sales they generate, not a flat fee
- One dashboard — see which promoters bring the most diners and manage approvals
