From claiming your page to your first verified customer.
Flavorites Business is designed so a busy owner can set everything up from a phone, and a busy server can verify a visit in seconds. Here's the whole journey — from claiming your page to the community your campaigns build.
-
Claim your restaurant page
Search for your restaurant in the Flavorites Business app and claim it by verifying your business email. If your restaurant isn't on Flavorites yet, create the page — new pages are reviewed by the Flavorites team and typically go live within 24–48 hours. Claim approval is what unlocks publishing rights for your page. More on claiming.
-
Publish your storefront
Your profile is prefilled from the listing data Flavorites already has — name, address, hours, cuisine, photos — so you're editing, not retyping. Add your story, menu highlights, and your own photos. Everything you publish updates the same restaurant page customers see when they search and browse the Flavorites app.
-
Invite your team
Add employees with a focused role: they can scan referred customers' QR codes and enter order amounts, but can't touch campaign settings, wallets, payouts, or your storefront. Owners keep full control.
-
Create and fund a campaign
Set the reward you'll pay per verified customer — you decide what a new customer is worth to you. Fund a prepaid campaign wallet (minimum $100 top-up) with a card via secure Stripe checkout; a platform fee is added per verified visit (15% on the free plan), so your all-in cost is visible before you launch. Your campaign can't activate unless the wallet covers the next reward, and it pauses automatically when the balance runs low.
-
Choose your rules
By default, any customer referred by a fan qualifies. Prefer to pay only for growth? Enable first-time-only mode so only a customer's first verified visit earns a reward. You can also set a minimum order subtotal, require referrers to have a minimum follower count, or run a private campaign limited to fans you invite.
-
Fans share, friends arrive with a QR code
Referrers must have your restaurant saved as one of their Flavorites — these are genuine fans, not ad brokers. When they recommend you, the referred customer gets a one-time QR code tied to your restaurant, valid for 7 days.
-
Your staff scans and verifies
At the table or the counter, your team scans the customer's QR code in the app and enters the order subtotal (and optionally the items ordered, if you've set up menu highlights). The reward is reserved from your campaign wallet at that moment — you always know exactly what you've spent.
-
The dispute window protects you
Every reward stays pending for 72 hours. If something looks off, dispute it from the app and the Flavorites team reviews it before any money moves to the referrer.
-
Flavorites handles the payouts
After the dispute window, rewards become available to referrers and are paid out in weekly batches through Stripe Connect. You never handle referrer payments, tax forms, or cash.
-
Watch the results
Your reporting dashboard shows redeemed referrals, new customers, referral revenue from entered subtotals, and which referrers bring you the most business — so you can tune your reward and rules with real numbers.
-
Turn guests into regulars
A great first visit doesn't have to end there. Referred customers can save you as one of their Flavorites, and you can keep that community close from the same app — message them directly (the fastest, most honest feedback loop you'll have with loyal customers), publish capped drops and tasting nights, and preview new menus to the people who already chose you.
