Give diners a reason to book again
Keep the connection after the meal. The paying diner taps to collect an itemised receipt with your ABN and GST — useful for a business lunch — and can choose to follow your restaurant for a new menu, a special dinner or a considered midweek offer, with your existing booking link.
- 90-day free trial for founding merchants
- No credit card required
- No lock-in contract
1 · What changes at your counter
Take payment through Square as you do now. The diner taps the ReceiptWave stand to collect an itemised receipt carrying your logo, GST and your ABN. On the same receipt they can choose to follow you, and you can put a coupon on the receipt that staff redeem with a scan. Note that the payer represents one person at the table, not everyone at it.
Connect ReceiptWave to Square to add tap-to-collect receipts and customer follow-up.
Setup takes under five minutes: connect your Square account, and connected sales flow through to ReceiptWave. Nothing changes at the till — staff take payment exactly as they do now.
2 · What to switch on, in this order
| Feature | Why it matters here | Do this |
|---|---|---|
| Digital receipt | One tap after payment. An itemised record with your ABN and GST, useful for business diners. | Put the stand at the counter. |
| A coupon on the receipt | Give the table a defined reason to return. Staff redeem it at the counter with a scan. | Set an expiry and exclusions. |
| Following and offers | Diners who choose to follow you can be sent news of a new menu or a quieter night. You send it manually. | Point them at your booking link. |
3 · First action, and how to measure it
- Test one quieter-night invitation. Give it an expiry and a booking route, then count completed bookings, not messages sent.
- Report in covers, not transactions. One payment can cover a table of six.
