Gift vouchers are one of the simplest ways to bring revenue forward. A guest pays today for a meal that might be redeemed weeks or months later, and the person who receives it may be dining with you for the first time.
TableGo lets you sell gift vouchers online without a separate gift-card service. Create voucher amounts, sell them through secure Stripe Checkout, and the recipient receives a professional PDF voucher by email instantly. Pro charges 0% TableGo platform fee on voucher sales.
Why sell gift vouchers online
- Cash up front: Take payment now for dining later — useful for cash flow, especially in quieter months.
- Reach new guests: Vouchers are often bought as gifts, bringing brand-new diners through your door.
- Run promotions: Offer deals like 'Pay £70, get £100 credit' to drive seasonal sales.
- Keep it on-brand: Vouchers carry your restaurant name on a design you choose, and are sold from your own page.
How gift vouchers work in TableGo
- Create voucher products: Set fixed amounts like £25, £50 or £100, a flexible amount where the buyer chooses between your minimum and maximum, or promotional pricing where buyers pay less than face value.
- Share your voucher page: Vouchers appear on your TableGo page, in a voucher widget for your own website, and as a “Gift vouchers” line in your booking widget, so guests see them while they book a table. Turn that line off with Show in booking widget on the Vouchers page.
- Customers buy and gift: Buyers add recipient details and a gift message, pay via Stripe, and the voucher is emailed instantly.
- Redeem in your dashboard: Look up the code in your dashboard and mark the voucher as redeemed. Each voucher is redeemed once, for its full value.
Track sales and redemptions
Every voucher has a unique code and is redeemed once, for its full value. To let guests spread a gift over several visits, offer smaller amounts such as £25 and £50.
You can see voucher sales and redemptions in your dashboard, choose how long each voucher is valid (1 to 12 months), and keep the whole programme running without any extra software.
Frequently asked questions
How do online gift vouchers work for restaurants?
You create voucher amounts, the customer buys one through Stripe Checkout, and the recipient receives a PDF voucher with a unique code by email. When they visit, you look up the code in your dashboard and mark it redeemed.
Can vouchers be used across multiple visits?
No. Each voucher is redeemed once, for its full value. To let guests spread a gift over several visits, offer smaller amounts such as £25 and £50.
What fees apply to voucher sales?
Stripe charges standard card processing fees. TableGo's platform fee on voucher sales is 3.5% on the free Basic plan and 0% on Pro. There are no per-cover fees.
Can I run promotional gift voucher offers?
Yes. You can set promotional pricing, for example letting customers pay £70 for £100 of credit — a popular way to boost sales around Christmas and other peak periods.
Do vouchers expire?
You choose how long each voucher is valid, from 1 to 12 months (3 months by default). The expiry date is printed on the voucher and shown to the buyer before they pay. If a guest brings an expired voucher, your team can still choose to accept it.
