Food-Catch for Restaurants

How pricing works

Posting deals is free. You only pay if you want extra reach. No contracts, no commission on your sales.

Local Drops

$0 / always

  • Unlimited Local Drops (create, edit, schedule)
  • LIVE DROP badge during your active time window
  • Meet Up Here invitations shared to Close Circle & Professional feeds
  • Catch Credit redemptions with single-use codes
  • Views, invitations and engagement analytics

Boost (optional)

$5 / day

  • Choose nearby placement within 5, 10, 25, or 40 miles — all $5/day
  • Clearly labeled as Boosted — never disguised as a friend's post
  • Stop anytime; you only pay for days you run

You pay the daily rate above. Any sales tax that applies to your business location is worked out and added at checkout, and we handle filing it for you.

How Food-Catch works: the restaurant hosts the special

Food-Catch introduces our subscribers to great food through specials that you create and honor. Bubo-Social never sells food or sets your prices — every deal comes straight from your kitchen.

Off-peak hours

Fill empty seats between rush times with a substantial discount — for example 30–50% off from 2–5 PM. Your drop's active time window controls exactly when the deal is live.

Meal discounts

During busier hours, offer something lighter — like 10% off a specific meal or menu item — so the special fits your margins.

Signature deals

Simple, memorable offers subscribers love — "10 wings for $10" — that turn first-time visitors into regulars.

You set the offer, the price and the hours. Subscribers pay you directly at the restaurant; Bubo-Social takes no cut of any meal.

Example

A wing spot posts a free "10 wings for $10" drop every weekday from 2–5 PM, its quiet hours. On Friday it boosts the drop for one day: total cost for the week is $5. Customers pay the restaurant directly; Bubo-Social never takes a cut of the meal.

Open merchant dashboard

Buy a Boost from your merchant dashboard: choose 1–30 days and a 5, 10, 25 or 40-mile reach, then pay securely by card. Your Boost starts as soon as payment is confirmed. See the Merchant Disclaimer.
