The evening this is about

A gift voucher is money paid to you today for food served later, which is the best cash flow in hospitality — and most venues sell them on a printed card from behind the bar, to people who were already standing in the venue.

Someone wants to buy a voucher on the 23rd of December and would have to come in.
The voucher is a card in a drawer with a handwritten amount and no record.
One is presented after it expired and the argument happens at the table.
Nobody can say how many are out there, unredeemed, as a liability.

What it actually does

Sells the voucher on your site, at any hour, and delivers it by e-mail or message straight to the person it is for.
Puts your name and design on it, not a platform's.
Validates it at the till in one scan, part-redeems it, and keeps the remainder.
Shows what is outstanding and what has been used — because unredeemed vouchers are a debt, not income.

The detail that matters

Part-redemption is the small thing that makes them usable. A fifty-euro voucher against a thirty-four-euro bill should leave sixteen euros on the voucher, not a guest being told to order something else or a member of staff doing arithmetic on a receipt and writing on the card.

What it does not do

It does not set your expiry dates. Consumer law in your country does, and it will not let you set a term that breaks it.
It does not take the payment by itself — that runs through your own payment provider, and the money is yours from the start.

We would rather you read this before the call than find out after.

Where it sits

Bringing people back without discounting yourself away. E-Gift Studio is one of five tools in Guests & Loyalty, and it runs on the same guest, booking and menu data as the rest of the Suite — so nothing is typed in twice.

Fifteen minutes, no slides.

Tell us how your venue runs and we will say plainly whether E-Gift Studio helps — and which two or three tools to start with.
