What's the difference between the three tiers?
Standard (10%) and Premium (20%) both include a 10% first-year discount for referred hotels; commission is calculated on what the client pays after that discount. Agency (30%) has no referral discount-commission is 30% of list price. If you're unsure which fits, apply and we'll decide together.
How much do I earn per referral?
Depends on plan and tier-see the earnings table above. Example: Premium partner referring Complete Growth (first year, 6 active months) earns €945 when payment clears.
Do I need to run the sales call?
No. Your job is the warm introduction with the right context. PlateStack handles discovery, proposal, onboarding, and delivery.
What counts as a qualified lead?
Hotel restaurant (not standalone), 20+ covers, open to external diners, operating at least 4 months/year, and a GM or F&B manager as contact. See “Who to refer” above for green flags and exclusions.
When and how do I get paid?
After your referral converts and we confirm attribution, referral bonuses are settled according to your partner agreement-typically after cleared client payment. We'll share full payment details when you're onboarded.
Is there a minimum number of referrals?
No minimums. One great referral a year is fine. We're building a quality partner network, not a volume affiliate scheme.
What regions and hotel types work best?
Destination hotels and resort F&B worldwide-especially islands and seasonal markets where external diners are under-tapped. Strongest traction so far in Mediterranean hospitality, but the model applies wherever hotels want local restaurant traffic.
