Local merchants supporting local schools

Merchant Program

Help a school. Grow your business.

Join local merchants supporting their community schools. Host a small card holder at your register so families can help their school with every Restaurant.com Dining Rewards Membership they buy, and get free visibility to every family in your area. It costs you nothing, and it helps kids.

What your support makes possible

One small card holder on your counter does four things at once, and the kids come first.

Real support for your school on every purchase

A good portion of every Restaurant.com Dining Rewards Membership purchased through your holder goes to the school you sponsor — funding classroom supplies, field trips, and programs.

Free local visibility

Your business appears in our local merchant bar whenever a family in your area searches by ZIP code. That's free exposure to every parent supporting their school.

Costs you nothing

We drop off a loaded card holder and refill it as needed. No fees, no inventory, no paperwork, just set it by your register.

Build customer goodwill

Customers love businesses that give back. When families see you supporting their school, they come back and they tell their friends.

The honest math

We are here to help the kids, not to make anyone rich.

Hosting a card holder costs you nothing, and a good portion of every Dining Rewards Membership sold through it goes to the school you sponsor. Your own referral code is there if you want to earn: when a customer enters it at checkout, the 10% commission is paid to you. An affiliate may ask to leave their own cards on your counter; those cards carry their code and the commission on them is theirs. Whatever thank-you the two of you agree on is between you, and we stay out of it. Nobody gets rich offering a $10 school fundraiser, and we will never pretend otherwise. The point is the kids.

How it works

Three simple steps

1Sign up. Fill out the form below. We review and approve within five business days.
2Place the holder. We drop off a business-card holder loaded with 100 referral cards carrying your own referral code. Put it near your register.
3Mention it at checkout. Your staff tells customers they can help a local school by grabbing a card. Every purchase sends a portion to the school you sponsor.

Affiliate referral code

If an affiliate invited you, enter their code so we know who to thank. It does not change what you earn: your own referral code pays you 10% of every membership sold through it. Cards that carry someone else's code pay them, and any thank-you you two work out on the side is between you.

Tell us about your business

I understand the merchant program from Help Support Our Schools: I host a card holder at my register at no cost as a goodwill supporter of my community school, and a good portion of each Restaurant.com Dining Rewards Membership purchased through my holder goes to the school I sponsor. My application is subject to approval. I agree that my business name and logo may appear in the local merchant directory on this site.
