A gift card system built for restaurants
Sell branded gift cards and meal vouchers from your restaurant's own online shop, live the same day. Buyers pay now, you redeem at the till, and the money lands in your account through Stripe.
5% per sale, no monthly fee. You only pay when you sell.
Most restaurants leave gift card money on the table
Either you email a PDF by hand, wrestle a clunky gift module in your EPOS, or get quoted by a platform that wants a demo first. Meanwhile the last-minute gifter and the quiet midweek cover go elsewhere. There is a simpler way.
Built for how restaurants actually sell
Gift cards or set menus
Sell monetary credit, or package your signature menus as fixed-price experiences. Buyers choose, you decide what's on offer.
Built for last-minute
Most gift cards sell late. Yours arrive by email in seconds, so the 23rd-of-December buyer still gets the gift in time.
Fill quiet midweek covers
Gift cards bring new diners in, often on the nights you most want to fill, and they frequently spend above the card's value.
Redeem at the till
Staff redeem on any phone in a tap, full or partial balance. No clunky EPOS gift module, no paper to reconcile.
Your brand, not a gift-card site
A branded shop on your own address and branded gift card PDFs, so it looks like you, start to finish.
Send it as a gift
Buyers add a message and can schedule the gift card to land on the day, straight to the recipient.
The money argument
- Paid now, redeemed later. A gift card is cash in your account today for a meal served weeks from now, interest-free working capital.
- Breakage. A fair share of gift cards are never redeemed, which is close to pure margin. We keep it honest, but it's real.
- Upsell on arrival. Diners with a gift card routinely spend above its value once they're in.
Restaurant gift card questions
Is GiftDesk a gift card system or a gift voucher system?
Both. "Gift card" and "gift voucher" mean the same thing here. You can sell monetary credit (a gift card balance) or fixed experiences like a set menu, and redeem either at the till.
Can I sell a set-menu or tasting-menu gift?
Yes. Package any menu as a fixed-price experience voucher, with its own image and description, alongside open-value gift cards.
Can buyers send it straight to the recipient?
Yes. They add a gift message and can schedule the send date, so it arrives by email exactly when they want.
How do staff redeem a gift card?
From a phone. Enter the code, see the balance, and redeem in full or part. Partial balances are tracked automatically.
How much does it cost?
5% per sale and nothing else. No monthly fee, no setup cost, no contract. You only pay when you sell a gift card.
How fast can I be live?
The same day, usually within minutes. There is no developer, demo or sales call.
