Partner reveals, the places we're eating at this week, and the moment Founding Regular spots open.

What's coming

One card. Your city's best kitchens.

When we launch in spring 2027, Regulars get a perk at every partner restaurant. Every single visit.

Save every visit

Could be a percentage off, a free appetizer, a comped drink. The restaurant picks, and you get it every time you walk in.

Independent only

No chains. Every partner is a locally owned kitchen somewhere in the Triangle.

Support your city

Every visit helps an independent kitchen stay open, and keeps the neighborhood that feeds you in business.

Always on you

Lives in your phone's wallet. Nothing to print, nothing to remember.

What it costs

Thirty dollars. All year.

No per-visit fees, no upsells, no app subscription. One price, every partner restaurant, as often as you like.

First 500 Regulars

Opens to everyone at launch in spring 2027.

Memberships renew once a year at the standard price. We'll email you before it happens, and you can cancel any time from your account or by replying to that email.

What it adds up to

How often do you eat out? Twice a month

Based on $60 for two and a 10% perk, measured against the $30 standard price. Each restaurant sets its own deal and 10% is the minimum we ask for, so treat this as the floor rather than the ceiling. We'd rather show you the math than tell you it's a great deal.

Questions owners actually ask

What does it cost us?

Nothing. No sign-up fee, no monthly fee, no commission, and no cut of any check. We make our money from the diners who buy the card, never from you.

How much work is this for my staff?

repeats lives in your current POS as its own discount button, so your team applies it exactly like any other discount. Nothing to install, no new device, no login, nothing to learn. If you run paper checks, it works the same way with a pen.

Am I just discounting people who would have come anyway?

The right question to ask. A Regular has paid for a card that points them at independent restaurants, so it moves visits toward you rather than somewhere else. And because you choose which days your perk runs, you can keep it off your busiest shifts entirely and aim it at the ones you'd like fuller.

How do I know the person is really a member?

Their card carries their photo, so staff can check it the same way they'd check an ID. They also show a confirmation screen with a live clock on it, which a screenshot can't fake.

Do we choose the offer?

Entirely. You set what it is, which days it runs, and any limits. We ask for 10% or equivalent as a floor so it's worth a Regular's while, and plenty of partners do something different, like a starter on the house.

What if we get too busy?

Tell us and we'll change your days, or pause you. We would rather have a happy partner on three days than an overwhelmed one on seven.

How long are we committed for?

Your offer holds for twelve months from the day it goes live. That's deliberate: a Regular has paid for a year, so the list needs to be dependable. Everything else, days and limits included, you can adjust with a message to us.

Will we be able to see if it's working?

Yes. You get a page showing visits this month and all time. If you add the named discount in your own POS, your reports will show the same thing independently, which is the number we'd rather you trusted.

Who else is on the list?

We're signing founding partners now and announcing them one at a time. Every one is independent and locally owned. No chains, ever.

What if it doesn't work for us?

Talk to us. We're two people in the Triangle, not a support queue, and a partner who quietly resents the deal is worse for us than one who tells us it isn't working.

Got it. Thank you.

For ten years we watched independent restaurants around here close, one after another, replaced by chains that could be anywhere. Those were the places that made this area worth living in. Family kitchens. Counters that spent fifteen years perfecting a single dish. People who cook because they love it, going up against companies with marketing budgets they will never match, and still turning out better food.

Chains can outspend them and delivery apps take a cut of every order, so we're building the opposite: a curated list of the Triangle's best independents, and a card that makes eating at them cost less. We're building that list now, one restaurant at a time. No chains, ever.

Full tables for the kitchens we love, and a little more room in your budget to keep going back to them.
