For restaurant owners
Refer the block. Earn for every kitchen that goes live.
You already run on PatronWorks and you know every operator on the street. Send them our way and earn a flat bounty for each one that signs up and activates — tracked in your dashboard, paid through Stripe.

How it works for you.
Grab your link
Open the affiliate dashboard and copy your referral link and code — it takes seconds and costs nothing.
Introduce the spot down the street
Show them your own register in the rush — the most honest demo there is — and hand them your link.
Earn when they activate
When they sign up and go live through your link, a flat bounty lands on your ledger, held briefly, then paid.
Your street, on one board
Add every nearby restaurant you’re working as a prospect and move it prospect → contacted → signed. The accounts you’ve already converted surface automatically as auto-leads, so nothing slips through.
Under the hood
The technology behind every payout.
Because you refer operators face to face, the targeting board is where you’ll live: track each spot you’re working from first pitch to signed, and watch the ones you’ve already won appear as auto-leads.
Your link and code
When you join, you get a permanent referral code and a tracked link — patronpal.net/r/YOURCODE. Share the link anywhere; the code is what every click, signup, and payout is tied back to.
Click tracking
The moment someone opens your link, we log the click with a timestamp and remember your code in their browser, then send them on to the right welcome page. Your dashboard’s "Clicks" count updates in real time — no pixels to install, nothing to configure.
Automatic attribution
When the restaurant or diner you referred completes the qualifying action — a referred customer’s first real order, or a restaurant going live — the system matches it back to your code. For guest orders that carry a name and phone but no account, we attribute by phone number (matched on the last ten digits). Each referral is credited once, ever, with a self-referral guard built in.
A real-time dashboard
Sign in at affiliates.patronworks.com to see signups, earnings, pending commissions, and clicks as they happen — plus a targeting board: prospects you add by hand (name, phone, website; move them prospect → contacted → signed) alongside auto-surfaced leads for accounts already tied to you.
A transparent ledger
Every commission is a line item you can watch move: pending → approved → paid. Bounties are a flat, fixed amount per activation — no tiers, no clawbacks, no mystery math. A short hold window covers refunds before a commission is cleared for payout.
Payouts on Stripe
Connect a payout account once through Stripe Connect. Approved commissions pay out on Stripe’s rails — to an individual or a business account — so the money reaches you the same way the rest of your income does.
What you earn.
- ✓A flat bounty for every restaurant that activates — the same clear amount each time.
- ✓No caps: refer as many neighbors as you like.
- ✓Referring never touches your own account, billing, or menu.
- ✓You don’t have to run their setup — they onboard themselves, or our team helps.
Questions, answered.
Does referring change my own subscription or data?
No. Your referrals live in a separate program; your restaurant, billing, and menu are untouched.
Do I have to set up the new restaurant myself?
No. They can self-onboard at their own pace, and our team can white-glove it. You just make the introduction.
When do I get paid?
Once their activation is attributed to your code and the commission is approved and clears its hold window, it pays out on Stripe.
