A custom game for your restaurant, played at the table
Every table has about eight idle minutes between ordering and eating. A game fills them with your brand, and a cleared level walks out the door as 10% off the next visit.
Why restaurants get more from a game than from a discount flyer
A flyer is a discount with no story. A game is a story with a discount at the end, and the story is yours: your chef, your kitchen, your signature dishes as the power-ups. Guests play it at the table, kids and adults both, and the reward is deliberately for the next visit, which is the visit you are trying to earn. A high-score board by the register turns regulars into competitors and the monthly winner eats free.
What your restaurant game looks like
For a pizza place, the chef hops through the lunch rush catching toppings. For a bar, the bartender catches garnishes. For a taproom, the brewer dodges foam. The level is your dining room, your kitchen or your block, and the thing chasing the hero is whatever makes your staff laugh (ours is a giant meatball). The QR code goes on the table tent, the check presenter and the host stand.
Rewards that fit a restaurant
- Level 1: a free dessert or appetizer on this visit, which raises the check.
- Level 2: 10% off the next visit, valid once, so the return is built in.
- Level 3: a free entrée on their birthday.
- The wall: a high-score board by the register; the monthly winner eats free.

The Local plan is $249 a month with a $1,500 build fee spread over 12 months ($125/month). Additional locations are $99 a month each, with their own QR codes and their own line on the report. Includes hosting, reward codes, a quarterly level or reward change, table tent and check insert artwork, and the staff guide.
How it gets built
Ten-minute intake form, playable first level in five business days, full game live in ten. Servers get a one-page cheat sheet from the Game & Character Guide; the reward ticket format is fixed so nobody argues at the register.

Questions we get asked
Will it slow down table turns?
No. A level is about a minute and guests play it while they wait for food, time that was idle anyway.
Can rewards be limited to slow nights?
Yes. Rewards can carry conditions, such as valid Monday to Thursday, and we print them on the ticket.
Does it work for a bar with no food?
Yes. The hero becomes the bartender, the collectibles become garnishes, and the reward becomes a free first round on the next visit.
Can several locations share one game?
Yes. One game, one level per location, rewards redeem anywhere. See multi-location.
