What PatronWorks Gift Cards is
PatronWorks Gift Cards is a digital gift-card feature within PatronWorks restaurant POS software. Restaurants can issue cards for any amount in their store currency, assign a code and starting balance, and optionally set an expiry date. Customers can redeem cards at the register or apply them to online pickup and delivery orders. Partial payments leave the remaining balance available for later use, while each redemption records its amount and associated order. Outstanding balances appear in the Gift Cards tab, and cards can be attached to customer profiles and storefront accounts. The broader platform combines gift cards with online ordering, loyalty, inventory and customer marketing. It runs on Windows registers, supports tablets for order-taking, and can continue taking orders and cash offline before syncing. Payment processing is billed separately.
