Companies buy their teams a night out. Be where they spend it.

Instead of an Amazon or Starbucks gift card, companies send their employees and customers to a local, owner-operated place. They choose where to spend their reward from the places on 10Spot.

How this drives traffic to you

  • New customers

    Companies send rewards that can only be spent at places on 10Spot, so people who have never been to your place have a reason to come in.

  • Quality customers

    Rewards go to employees and clients of local companies, people with money to spend who are out to enjoy themselves. They order at your regular prices.

  • Repeat customers

    Anyone who redeems at your place follows it in the 10Spot app automatically, so they get a notification when you post an event.

Case Study: Waiting on a Friend

This bar and event space in the East Village started hosting parties with 10Spot in June 2026.

  • 466 new guests through the door with a pass
  • 80 private parties hosted

Before 10Spot, a big party at the bar meant a guest list, drink tickets and wristbands. Now every guest has a pass on their phone, which makes the night easier for guests, bartenders and door staff.

Hundreds of new faces have come through the door for these parties. Guests show the pass, we ring it up like anything else, and it's the easiest thing we've added to the bar in years.

What it costs you

No setup fee, no monthly fee, and no credit card fees. You pay a flat 5% of what the customer redeems, and you keep the entire 20% gratuity that's included automatically.

How people find you in the app

Recipients pick where to spend their reward from a list of places near them.

Connecting a Stripe account is what puts you on that list.

Being early matters. The fewer places connected in your neighborhood, the more of that spending comes to you.

How it works at the register

Do we need to integrate this with our POS?
No. There is nothing to install and nothing to connect. A manager adds a 10Spot button to your POS once, which takes about a minute, and your staff enters the amount from then on.
How do we ring it up?
Use whatever works for your POS, but we recommend ringing it up like a gift card: a payment toward the check, not money off the bill, so your register records the full check. Most merchants add a one-time 10Spot button that accepts any dollar amount, apply it to the check when a guest redeems, and take payment for the rest. The walkthrough above shows the whole setup.
When do we get paid?
Your Stripe account is credited the moment the guest redeems, so the money is yours before the guest leaves. It is what they redeemed less the 5%, plus the full tip the company paid on top, so do not expect it to equal the amount you took off the check. It reaches your bank on your normal Stripe payout schedule.

We built 10Spot because we believe the best nights out happen at places owned by people who care, not chains optimizing for shareholders. We want to help those places thrive.
