Gift cards sit on the same link as your menu, pickup and bookings.
Gift cards sold from your page and spent at the table
Volio's gift cards are sold on your venue's own page, for restaurants, bars, cafés and beach clubs. A guest picks an amount and who it's for, and the card is emailed now or on a day they choose. The friend who gets it spends it at your table.
From your page to the table
How gift cards work
A gift card is bought like anything else on your page, and spent like money at the table. You don't print or post anything.
Step 1
Choose what you sell
The amounts on offer, and whether a buyer can type their own amount between two limits. The shop sits on your venue's page.
Step 2
A guest buys one for a friend
They pick an amount and write who it's for. The card is emailed to the friend now, or on the day the buyer chooses.
- Amount
- From the ones you offer
- For
- The friend's name and email
- When
- Now or on a chosen day
- Where
- Your venue's page
Step 3
The friend spends it at the table
The card is spent at your venue, on the bill. The friend keeps it with their email, beside any points they earn with you.
24 December, 08:00, and nobody bought a present yet
Gift cards sell when people are short of ideas and short of time. Here is one of them, from the buyer's sofa to your table.
- 3 December
Bought for later
A guest buys a card for their sister and picks the 24th for it to arrive.
- 24 December
It arrives on the day
The card lands in the sister's email that morning. Nothing went in the post.
- 9 January
Spent at your table
The sister books a table for two and spends the card at dinner.
- February
She's on your list
She booked and ordered, so she's on your guest list now.
