Free while we get started · UC Riverside
We send UCR students to specific spots near campus. They scan a code at your counter, so at the end of the month you get a real number — how many came, and how many were new. Not impressions. People.

Every number is a student who scanned at your counter. Nothing estimated.
The gap
A student flashes an R'Card, you knock off 10%, and nothing tells you whether they found you because of it or would have walked in anyway. Meanwhile the students who would love your place have never heard of you.
There are dozens of spots around campus. Most students rotate between the same three because choosing is exhausting.
You cannot tell students to come at 3pm on a Tuesday. We can — they tell us when they eat, and we route them then.
No count, no names, no way to know if a student discount brings anyone new through the door.
How it works
No software to install, no tablet on your counter, no work for your staff beyond a glance.
1
Name, hours, the kind of food, and whatever student offer you already run. Takes a couple of minutes with you at the counter.
2
A small printed sign for the register. That is the only thing we need you to keep visible.
3
When a student wants what you serve, you come up as their pick — with the reason why.
4
Log in any time: visits this week, how many were new, what students scored you, and what they said.
What we ask
Keep the QR sign visible at your register.
That is it. Students scan it themselves. Your staff only needs to recognise the green pass on their screen, the same way they would check any student ID.
Optional, and only if you want the Wednesday drop: one small exclusive for drop customers — a free drink, a side, a size upgrade. It gives students a reason to make the trip, and you decide what it is.
What we do not ask
Later, honestly
We would rather tell you now than surprise you in three months.
Now
Free. We are new, and we have to prove we can actually send you customers before asking for anything.
If it works
A flat daily rate to be promoted on your slow days — you would set a cap so it can never surprise your budget.
If it does not
You stay free, or you leave. If we are not sending you people, we have not earned anything.
Questions
A visit only counts when a student scans the sign at your counter and their phone confirms they are at your address. It cannot be done from a dorm room, and it cannot be done twice in a week with the same offer.
You set a weekly cap. If you say twenty students a week, it stops at twenty and sends the rest elsewhere. You can pause entirely at any time.
No. Most spots near campus already offer something for students, and we can simply make that easier to use. If you offer nothing, we can still list and route students to you.
A sentence. When a student shows a green pass on their phone with a four-letter code and a countdown, it is valid. A screenshot will not animate, so it is easy to spot.
You see every score and comment in your dashboard. Only students with a verified visit can leave one, and we remove anything abusive.
No. We take no commission and never touch your orders. We only send people to your door.
Three UC Riverside students. We built this because we could not decide where to eat, and then noticed the spots around us could not tell which students came from where.
Email us your spot's name and we will come by with a QR sign, usually within a day or two. We are on campus most afternoons.
