Cash in the till today. A new guest at the table tomorrow.
Sell gift cards your guests can buy, personalise and send in under a minute. You take the money now — and very often welcome a brand-new face when the card is spent. Sent by email or printed at your counter, every card redeems like cash at the till and online.
In plain words
A gift card that spends like cash — and brings someone new through the door
A gift card is money a guest pays for today and someone spends later. That’s cash in your till right now, and often a first-time visitor at the table when the card is redeemed. With Restora you can sell a digital card sent by email or text, or issue a card from your dashboard and print its QR to hand across the counter — both carry a real balance and work exactly the same.
There’s nothing fiddly to set up. Because gift cards are part of Restora 360, a card bought online can be spent at the till or on your website — it draws down like cash, not a coupon with rules attached. When the balance runs low, the guest simply spends the rest on their next visit.
Who it's for
Built for the people who actually use it
Guests buying a gift
Pick an amount, choose a greeting, and send it by email or text in seconds — or keep the code to hand over yourself. A thoughtful present that’s ready in a minute.
Companies & bulk buyers
Staff rewards, client thank-yous, seasonal gifts. A corporate option covers ordering many cards in one go, instead of buying them one by one.
You, the restaurant
Take the money today and welcome the guest later. Every card sold is cash up front and, very often, a first-time visitor when it’s finally spent.
How it works
Up and running in three simple steps
Pick an amount and a greeting
The buyer chooses the value and one of 26 ready-made designs — all pre-made by us, no AI, and no design skills needed.
Send it their way
Email the card instantly for a same-day gift, send it by text, or keep the code and hand it over in person. However it arrives, the balance works exactly the same.
The guest redeems it like cash
At the till or online, the card is used as a real payment method and the balance draws down — scan its QR at the till, or enter the code at checkout.
What's inside
Everything Gift Cards gives you
Digital and printable
Sell a card sent by email — or issue one from your dashboard and print its QR to hand across the counter. Same balance, same platform.
26 ready-made greetings
Birthday, thank-you, festive and more — 26 designs made by us, ready to go. No AI, no wrestling with layouts.
Spends like cash, not a coupon
The card is a real payment method. It draws down by the amount spent and can be used again until the balance is gone.
Sent in seconds
Email delivery is instant, so a last-minute gift still arrives on time. Buyers can also send the card by text, or keep the code to give in person.
A simple wallet, no password
A private wallet opens with a “magic link” — one tap from an email, nothing to remember — to keep every card in one place.
Corporate & bulk orders
A corporate option lets businesses buy many cards in one go for staff rewards or client gifts, rather than one at a time.
Gift Cards shares the same core as everything else on Restora 360 — the menu, prices and orders you see here are the same ones your team sees everywhere.
Why it pays off
Money in today, a new guest tomorrow

One card redeems at the till and online — like cash, wherever you sell.

Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
What are Restora gift cards?
They’re gift cards your restaurant sells — digital ones sent by email or text, or cards you print from your dashboard to hand over the counter. The buyer picks an amount and a greeting, and whoever receives it spends it at your restaurant like cash: at the till or online.
Can I hand a card over in person, not just by email?
Yes. Digital cards go out by email or text, and from your dashboard you can issue a card and print it — with a QR code that’s scanned at the till — to hand across the counter. Printed or digital, the balance works exactly the same.
How does someone send a gift card as a present?
The buyer chooses an amount, picks one of 26 ready-made greeting designs, and either emails it straight to the recipient, sends it by text, or keeps the code to hand over in person. The email version arrives in seconds, so even a last-minute gift is on time.
Is a gift card just a discount coupon?
No — it behaves like cash, not a coupon. It’s a real payment method with a balance that draws down as it’s spent, and it can be used more than once until the balance runs out. There are no discount rules or minimum spends to trip over.
Where can the gift card be redeemed?
At the point-of-sale till and on your online ordering page. The card’s QR is scanned at the till, or its code entered at online checkout — and because it’s all one platform, a card bought online can be spent in the restaurant, and the other way round.
Do buyers need an account or a password?
No password. The gift-card wallet opens with a “magic link” — a secure one-tap link sent by email — so buyers can keep the cards they’ve bought or received in one place, with nothing to remember.
Can a business buy a lot of cards at once?
Yes. There’s a corporate option for bulk orders — handy for staff rewards, client thank-yous or seasonal gifts — so a company can order many cards in one go instead of one at a time.
Does Restora take a cut of gift card sales?
No. You keep 100% of what you sell — 0% commission on your own sales. Restora charges a flat monthly subscription, not a percentage of each card. (The only percentage-based option is the optional Pay As You Go plan, 7% per transaction instead of a monthly fee.)
