Every Tabern account gets a referral link and code on the Refer & earn page (the Referrals link in the top bar of the Tabern site when you’re signed in). When an owner you refer starts a paid subscription, you earn credit toward your own Tabern billing.
Share your link
Open Referrals from the top bar of the Tabern site.
Under Your referral link, select Copy link, or use Email or Text under Share via.
Send it to a restaurant or bar owner who could use a Tabern website.
Your link opens the Tabern homepage with your code attached. Your Referral code is shown under the link too, so you can share it out loud or in a message. They can type it in Referral Code (optional) when they create their account from the Pricing page.
Track your referrals
The Your referrals section shows four counts: Invited, Signed up (accounts created with your code), Subscribed (referred accounts that started a paid subscription), and Months earned (referrals that have paid out credit).
Below the counts, a table lists each referred account with its venue, the date, its status (Signed up, Subscribed, or Rewarded), and Your reward: the credit amount once it’s paid out, or Pending before then.
How the credit works
- A referral pays out when the referred account starts a paid subscription. Signing up alone, or getting a free website with a device order, doesn’t count.
- The credit is worth one month of the paid plan. The Referrals page shows the amount.
- It’s added to your Tabern billing account in Stripe and comes off your next invoice. You need a billing account to receive it, which means having paid for a subscription. If you’ve only ever had a free website, the credit can’t be issued.
- There’s no cap on how many owners you refer.
- Referring yourself, or an account with your own email address, doesn’t count.
Tips
- A specific pitch works best. Mention the feature that sold you, like the menu scanner or rewards.
- Local restaurant groups and business associations are where your link does the most good.
