How the program works

Four steps to a recurring restaurant book

From signing up to your first monthly payout — under a week for most partners.

1

Join the program

Pick Revenue Share ($49/month plus a 50% platform share) or grab a Reseller Bundle ($1,999/yr for 10 apps). No approval hoops.

2

Configure the restaurant's app

Drop in the menu, colors and logo. Smart Convert can pull a menu straight out of a photo. Live in under an hour.

3

Hand it over & keep selling

Restaurant onboards their diners. You keep signing new venues — every one adds to your recurring stack.

4

Get paid every month

Revenue Share: automatic monthly payouts, no minimum. Reseller: you bill your restaurants directly and keep 100%.

What You Get as a Restaurant Partner

A proven product, a real revenue model and a platform team that has your back.

Recurring Revenue

Every restaurant you sign up pays monthly or yearly — you earn from every renewal, for life.

No Tech Hassle

We handle hosting, updates, PWA delivery and Apple / Google submissions. You focus on selling.

Your Brand, Your Way

Resell the platform on your own subdomain — appbuild.diy/yourbrand — with your logo and colors.

Sales Made Simple

Restaurants get a clear ROI story: table orders, loyalty, push offers. You get a product that sells itself.

24/7 Reseller Support

Direct partner channel, onboarding calls and a library of pitch decks, demos and marketing assets.

Effortless Management

One partner dashboard to see every restaurant app, its plan, revenue and renewal date.

Go Live in Under an Hour

Menu, colors, logo — done. No developers, no build cycles, no store-submission headaches.

A Product That Sticks

Once a restaurant's diners have the app installed, churn drops fast. That's your renewal.

How fast does the app pay for itself?

The restaurant's ROI story is the easiest pitch you'll ever make.

A handful of direct orders

One $18 direct order avoids ~$5 marketplace commission. The app pays for itself in ~20 saved orders / month.

A few repeat visits

Loyalty regulars come back ~2× more often. Ten extra covers a month at $35 covers a year of Business Pro.

One push campaign

One Friday-night push to 300 diners with 5% conversion at $40 average = $600 in one send.

What you're selling:
Primary Feature

Effortless Table Reservations

Diners book straight from the app. Staff see everything in a calendar view — fewer no-shows, more covers, less phone chaos.

  • 6-step booking flow with instant confirmation
  • Real-time availability prevents double bookings
  • Automated email + push reminders cut no-shows
  • Zone support: patio, main room, private dining
  • Calendar dashboard for staff

Reseller angle: One of the easiest wins to pitch — every restaurant already loses covers to no-shows. This kills them.

Loyalty Rewards & Stamp Cards

Star points or classic stamp cards. Diners earn automatically and redeem in-app — every visit builds attachment to the restaurant, not a third party.

  • Points-based rewards or 10-stamp cards
  • QR scan at the till to earn credit in-store
  • Auto push notification when a reward is unlocked
  • Visual progress motivates the next visit
  • One-tap redemption at the counter

Reseller angle: This is your renewal moat. Once diners have 4 stamps, they don't want the restaurant to switch platforms.

The pitch

Why restaurants say yes

Six reasons the answer is "how soon can it be live?" instead of "let me think about it".

Bigger tickets

Mobile ordering lifts average order value ~30%. Modifiers, upsells and photos do the selling for the server.

Guests come back

Loyalty stamps and push offers turn one-time diners into weekly regulars — no ad spend needed.

A marketing channel they own

Every install is a free push notification for life. No algorithm, no boosted-post fees.

Escape delivery commissions

0% commission direct ordering. One saved $18 order pays for a whole month of the app.

Faster table turns

QR order-and-pay cuts wait time and frees staff to serve more covers per shift.

Their brand, not a marketplace's

Diners see the restaurant's name on their home screen — not Uber Eats or DoorDash.

How partners actually run it

Three-step workflow — from cold pitch to renewed customer.

1

Pitch it as a growth lever

You don't need to be a developer

The four objections we hear on every partner call — and why they're not real problems.

Never sold restaurant tech before?

The pitch writes itself — bigger tickets, repeat diners, escape commissions. We give you the deck.

Not technical?

No code. Menu, colors, logo — that's the whole setup. Live in under an hour.

Only have a handful of clients?

Ten restaurants on the $99 plan is $11,880/yr recurring on a $1,999 bundle.

Worried about churn?

Once diners install the app and start earning loyalty stamps, they stick. Renewals compound.

"We bolted the reseller bundle onto our SEO retainers. Ten restaurant clients on it in six weeks — biggest single MRR jump we've ever had."

Nadia R.

Founder, local SEO agency

"I pitched the loyalty story on a Tuesday demo — signed the venue on the same call. It literally sells itself when the owner sees the diner side."

Marco L.

"The Revenue Share deal is a no-brainer for us. Zero support burden, cheque every month, and our restaurant clients love that we brought them the tool."

Partner FAQ

Reseller partners typically earn $10k–$25k from a single 10-app bundle in year one — pure profit on renewals from year two. Revenue-share partners earn 50% of every restaurant's subscription for as long as they stay, so a book of 20 restaurants on the $99 plan is roughly $990/mo recurring for you.

Revenue Share pays out monthly with no minimum threshold. Reseller partners bill their restaurants directly (through Stripe, invoicing, however you like) and keep 100% of the customer relationship.

No. The platform is no-code — configure a restaurant's menu, colors and logo and the app is live in under an hour. We handle hosting, updates and app-store submissions for you.

Yes. The Reseller program gives you a branded subdomain (appbuild.diy/yourbrand) with your logo, colors and marketing collateral. Restaurants only ever see your brand.

Up to 10 live restaurant apps for a full year — web + PWA + Apple + Google — plus the branded partner portal, dashboard and marketing kit. Extra bundles are available as you grow.

Onboarding call, direct partner channel, pitch decks, demo apps, marketing videos and images — plus 24/7 platform support that handles your restaurants for you.

Same day. Sign up, pick your program, drop in a menu and you can be pitching your first restaurant this week.

No commissions on food orders — only standard Stripe processing. That's a huge part of the pitch: one saved delivery-marketplace order can pay for the whole app for a month.

The app happily runs alongside — the digital menu, loyalty, push and bookings all work without touching their POS. Ordering can layer on later.

Absolutely. Most partners start on Revenue Share and graduate to Reseller once their restaurant pipeline is warm. We'll help you migrate the accounts.

Yes. Restaurants can run multiple venues under one app with per-location menus, hours and ordering — great for chains and franchise networks.

Included. We publish PWA plus native Apple and Google apps under the restaurant's brand — no separate build fees, no store paperwork on your side.
