GiftTrees
Want to make a difference with every meal you serve? By using the free GiftTrees app, you can offset the unavoidable environmental CO2 impact and food waste of your restaurant meals, at no cost to you.
Already with Epos Now?
How it works
Simply opt your diners into a £1.23 GiftTree on top of each meal over £30. After downloading the app, the prompt is automatically suggested in your Epos Now point of sale (POS) system, and can easily be toggled on or off.
Every GiftTree funded by your customers is planted in an agroforestry system in the developing world. As every GiftTree sequesters up to a ton of CO2 in its lifetime, this can make a huge difference to our planet.
With every GiftTree contribution from your customer, a 10p GIFT Token is reserved for your restaurant, which is redeemable against your POS system!
Every GiftTree contribution also helps fund projects which work towards lifting some of the world’s poorest communities out of poverty. They provide a source of income and education, as well as a nutritious, sustainable food source.
The planet
GiftTrees absorb up to 40x the impact of a single meal. They also:
- Reduce deforestation and unethical farming
- Remove up to one ton of carbon from the atmosphere during the lifetime of each tree
- Encourage biodiversity and help to restore the local ecosystem
- Produce food and shelter for communities, livestock, and wildlife
Your diners
Give your customers the opportunity to go home with ‘helpers high’ - the warm feeling we get when we help others. By funding a GiftTree, your diners will:
- Offset the environmental impact of their meal
- Play an active role in the fight against world hunger
- Have the chance to choose where to plant their tree in their named forest
- Join a global initiative to plant one billion trees by 2030
Your restaurant
88% of consumers are loyal to companies that support social or environmental issues. GiftTrees not only enables a better customer experience, restaurants that sign up are also proven to:
- Experience higher levels of customer loyalty
- Improve their brand’s reputation and public awareness
- Increase their footfall
- Foster a better connection with customers
- Have the opportunity to be nominated for Environmental Awards
As a participating restaurant, you earn £1 for every 10 GiftTrees planted as a ‘GIFT Token’. This can be used to offset the cost of any Epos Now products or expenses.
You will also receive monthly promotional videos and written content personalised to your business, which you can share directly on your website and social media.
