Restaurant gift cards UK: sell and redeem

A restaurant gift card system issues, sells, and redeems cards with a live balance — not a shoebox of paper vouchers. Guests buy online or in house. Staff scan a code at the till. Balances should be live, not a notebook in the office.

Issue, sell, redeem

Custom values, a code or QR, and a balance that moves when the card is used. That is the whole job. A drawer of handwritten vouchers cannot tell you what you still owe.

Online purchase is a public page, not a second product story

Guests buy on a link or QR. That page is Widget. The ledger is Gift Cards. Do not run two balances.

Questions about restaurant gift cards

How do UK restaurants sell gift cards without paper vouchers?
Issue a card with a value and a code, sell it in house or through a public page, and redeem against a live balance at the till. Paper vouchers in a shoebox cannot tell you what is still outstanding.
Can guests buy a gift card online?
Yes, if you publish a purchase page. System Hub uses the Widget module for public purchase. Redemption stays in Gift Cards so the till sees the balance.
How much is System Hub Gift Cards?
14-day trial, no card. Then £5/week per location via Stripe. Cancel anytime. Widget is a separate £5/week module if you sell online.
