This platform serves as a doorway to connect with local customers in Santa Cruz County who are eager to explore and discover new dining options with enticing specials.
Upon customers signing up for your text messaging service, they will instantly receive a welcome email and text message from your restaurant.

All communication is presented with the white-labeled branding of your restaurant (textual content only).
Keep Customers Informed:
With your rewards program in place, updates and notifications are automatically sent to your subscribers. Whether you’re promoting a special offer, hosting an event, or sharing news, you can connect with your customers twice weekly. This ensures your customers are always in the loop and engaged with your restaurant. Customers always have the ability to unsubscribe with one easy text message with the word STOP.
Take control of your messages with our user-friendly update form. This feature empowers you to effortlessly modify your specials whenever necessary. Unleash your creativity by sending out reminders to secure reservations for occasions like Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day. Enhance the experience by incorporating a link to your current reservation system, or consider upgrading to our easy-to-manage “Reservation System,” accessible through a web browser-based interface.
