Digital voucher shop for restaurants with no setup costs or monthly fees

If you want to sell vouchers as a restaurant owner, you know the problem: paper vouchers are cumbersome, manual processing costs time, and many providers charge high monthly fees or commissions of up to 20 percent. Most voucher systems were built for retail, not for the specific needs of restaurants, cafés and bars.

Traditional solutions often lock you into expensive contracts before you know whether voucher sales will work for your business. Many systems are technically complex and require programming skills or external help during setup.

gutschein-direkt.com was created as a simple, low-risk alternative for hospitality businesses. There are no setup costs, no monthly base fees and only a fair commission when you actually sell vouchers. Adding your voucher link to your website takes just a few minutes and requires no technical know-how.

Vouchers are also a powerful marketing tool for small businesses: they increase visibility, bring new guests into your venue and improve liquidity through upfront payment. With your own online shop for restaurant vouchers, you create an additional revenue channel that is not tied to opening hours.

This is what makes our voucher shop a strong fit for your hospitality business:

• EUR 0 setup costs - no financial risk when you start selling vouchers.

• 8% commission only on actual revenue - no hidden costs, no monthly fees, and you only pay when you sell.

• Complete payment processing via Stripe - secure payment for your guests and automated processing for you.

• Automatic email delivery and print-at-home vouchers - digital vouchers are instantly available and ideal for last-minute gifts.

• Simple integration by link - make your voucher shop visible on your website, menu, social media and Google Business profile.

• Features for management and redemption - including an overview of sales, open vouchers, partial redemptions and remaining balances.

An automated voucher shop lets hospitality businesses sell vouchers around the clock without extra staff. Guests can order online at any time - even when your restaurant is already closed.

You get results without complexity. The process is deliberately simple.

Step 1: Fast registration and setup

Registration takes only a few minutes. You do not need technical knowledge or a developer. In the dashboard, you create your voucher shop, add your logo, colors and voucher designs, and build a professional gift option for loyal and new guests.

Step 2: Add it to your website, menu and social media

Embed your shop with a voucher link on your existing website and place it on social media, Google Business, newsletters or digital menus. For the first steps, the guide how to set up a voucher shop is helpful.

Step 3: Sell immediately and automate fulfillment

Guests buy vouchers online, pay via Stripe and instantly receive a PDF voucher with a QR code by email. Redemption works by scanning the QR code or entering the voucher code manually. For POS and internal processes, see API and POS and the ready2order integration.

No guesswork. No wasted effort. Just structured progress.

Most alternatives focus on features. We focus on results for restaurant owners and hospitality teams.

• A real EUR 0 start model - while other providers charge monthly fees from day one, you only pay us when you actually sell.

• Degressive commission structure - the more voucher revenue you generate, the lower your rate becomes. Your success is rewarded, not penalized.

• Full service with payment processing - payment, voucher creation, delivery and management work together cleanly.

• Automated workflows - from purchase to email delivery and redemption, you reduce manual work in daily operations.

• Hospitality-ready redemption - partial redemptions and remaining balances help when guests use only part of a value voucher.

• Direct customer relationship - you sell under your own brand and do not send guests to a third-party marketplace.

Where others add complexity, we provide clarity. Where others require expert knowledge, we give guidance and a simple path to your first voucher sale.
