Build a business around
software they actually love.
VenueCore is the operating system for modern hospitality — EPOS, reservations, kitchen, rota, stock, finance and AI coaching in one place. The partner program is built with the same care: live attribution, founder access, white-label rollouts and engineered payout protection. Recommend something operators thank you for.
A full operating system for the venue.
EPOS, reservations, floor plans, kitchen displays, rotas, stock, finance and AI coaching — one platform, built for hospitality end to end. You're not pitching another tool. You're handing operators back their evenings.
Live attribution and partner tooling.
A dedicated partner dashboard at /app/referrals shows every venue you've introduced, lifecycle stage, monthly recognised revenue, and payout status. Co-branded decks, deal registration, walk-through bookings and white-label rollouts for groups managing five or more sites.
Attribution that survives real life.
Lifetime attribution, idempotent payouts, fraud scoring and clawback protection live at the database layer — not on the FAQ page. Your venues stay attributed to you through staff turnover, billing changes, re-signs and reseller handovers.
Direct access to the team.
Approved partners get a founder-level line for onboarding, escalations and roadmap input. Priority migrations for the venues you bring in, and a Slack channel that isn't a queue ticket. We treat partners like co-owners of the outcome.
Apply once, earn forever.
The program is invite-light — we review applications within one business day so we can match you with the right resources from day one.

Everything in the partner agreement, on one page.
No hidden tiers, no surprise clauses. Here's exactly how the commercial model, attribution, enablement and support work — before you apply.
Commercial model
Tiered recurring commission across years one, two and lifetime, plus an activation bounty for every venue that goes live. Hardware, processing pass-through and setup fees are excluded so the rate stays honest. Full rate card and payout mechanics unlock in your partner dashboard once you're approved.
Attribution & protection
Every venue is tagged to your code at signup and stays attributed for the lifetime of the account — through staff turnover, billing changes and re-signs. Clawbacks only apply to refunded revenue inside the standard 90-day window, and the ledger is idempotent so a venue can never be double-counted or silently re-assigned.
Enablement
Co-branded one-pagers, deck templates, ROI calculator, demo environment access, and a shared booking link to put founders on a call with your prospect. Marketing assets refresh quarterly; you get them before they go public.
White-label & groups
For agencies and operators rolling out five or more venues we offer a white-label tier: your brand on the login, your domain on the dashboard, and a managed onboarding squad that runs migration end-to-end. Commercial terms are bespoke from venue 5 onward.
Support SLA
A named partner manager, a private Slack channel, and a 1-business-day response SLA on every partner-tagged ticket. Escalation path goes straight to the founders — no tier-one queue, no chatbot triage.
Compliance
Standard partner agreement (UK law), GDPR-aligned data handling, anti-collusion and self-referral clauses, and a transparent fraud-scoring policy. We share the rules so there are no surprises on payout day.
From approval to first commission, in a month.
A realistic timeline of what happens after you're approved — what we do, what you do, and when revenue starts showing up in your dashboard.
Most partners introduce their first venue inside week two and see their first recognised revenue before day 30.
- 1Day 0 — within 1 business day
Application reviewed, code issued
We review every application personally. You receive an approval email with your unique referral code, your dashboard link at /app/referrals, and a calendar invite for a 30-minute onboarding call with your named partner manager.
- 2Day 1-3 — onboarding call
Positioning, pricing, materials
Live walk-through of the platform, the talk-track that converts, current pricing tiers and processing economics, and the assets pack: decks, one-pagers, ROI calculator and demo logins. We tailor it to whether you sell to independents, groups or agencies.
- 3Day 4-10 — first introductions
Warm handover support
Share your link or drop your code at signup. Book co-hosted demos through the partner calendar — a founder or solutions engineer joins your call, runs the platform tour, and handles objections live. You stay in the room.
- 4Day 11-20 — first venues go live
Managed migration, attribution confirmed
Our onboarding squad handles menu import, floor plan setup, hardware pairing and staff training. You see each venue appear in your dashboard with status moving from 'signed' to 'live'. Attribution is locked the moment the first payment clears.
- 5Day 21-30 — first commission accrues
Revenue, reporting, review
Recognised revenue appears in your dashboard daily. End of month 1 we hold a 20-minute review: what worked, what stalled, and which segments to lean into. Your first payout lands on the 1st of the following month once you clear the £50 minimum.
The numbers live where they belong — inside your dashboard.
Rate card, live commission calculator, payout formula and policy checks are gated to approved partners. Apply in two minutes; sign in and model what you'd earn the same day you're approved.
Visible to approved partners only. The dashboard recomputes nightly against recognised revenue.
Two minutes to get your code.
Tell us a bit about you and how you reach venues. We'll review and reply within one business day with your partner dashboard link.
Eligibility, approval, attribution, SLA and commissions.
The questions every serious partner asks before applying — answered in full, with no asterisks.
Who is the program for?
Hospitality consultants, restaurant agencies, suppliers, POS resellers, accountants serving hospitality, and multi-site groups. If your audience runs venues, you qualify.
Am I eligible to apply?
You qualify if you can credibly introduce VenueCore to operators of restaurants, bars, cafés, hotels or multi-site groups. We approve consultants, agencies, POS/AV resellers, hospitality accountants, food/drink suppliers, industry media and existing operators referring peers. We decline anonymous coupon/affiliate sites, sub-affiliate networks, and anyone with a recent chargeback or compliance history that creates risk for our acquiring bank.
How long does approval take?
We review every application by hand. Expect a decision within one UK business day for standard partners, and up to three business days for white-label or group applications that require a short intro call. You'll receive your unique referral code, dashboard access and a co-branded asset pack the moment you're approved.
How does attribution work?
Each partner gets a unique code and a tracked link. A venue is attributed to you the moment they enter your code at signup or convert through your link — we capture IP, device fingerprint and first payment method on first touch and lock attribution at first paid invoice. Attribution is lifetime, exclusive, and non-poachable: once a venue is yours, no later partner can claim them. Self-referrals, duplicate signups from the same payment method, and high-velocity bursts are routed to manual review before commission is released.
How are commissions calculated?
Recurring share of every venue's subscription, paid monthly, with an activation bounty when each one goes live. Approved partners get the full formula, live calculator and policy checks inside the dashboard — sign in at /app/referrals to model your exact earnings.
What support and SLA do partners get?
Partner support is a dedicated channel — not the public inbox. First response within four business hours, Monday–Friday 09:00–18:00 UK, with a named partner manager once you've introduced your first paid venue. Urgent issues affecting a live venue (payments, terminals, reservations on a service night) are treated as P1 with a one-hour target response, 24/7. You also get direct founder access via a private Slack/Discord channel and a monthly office hours call.
Can I white-label VenueCore?
Yes — for agencies and groups managing 5+ venues. White-label includes your logo, colour palette and sender domain on tenant-facing surfaces, plus a consolidated partner dashboard. Mention it in your application and we'll walk you through the tier on the intro call.
