4) How are we paid for Dining Certificates that are purchased on-line and used at our restaurant?

When a customer purchases a Dining Certificate, an E-mail (and/or fax) will be sent to you letting you know that a specific DiningCertificate has been issued for your establishment, including the amount of the certificate, the name appearing on the certificate (if applicable) and a unique "code" for the DiningCertificate issued.

This information should be entered in your DiningCertificates.com "Certificate Logbook" (provided as part of your membership package). After a customer "redeems" a dining certificate at your restaurant, the server in your restaurant should check the dining certificate to ensure that it is valid (by checking against the current "logbook" entries for valid dining certificates issued). After crossing the certificate off in your DiningCertificates.com logbook, you must fill out the back of the certificate, including your member code and manager's signature and date accepted. Then, mail the voided certificate to DiningCertificates.com. A payment (equivalent to 80% of the face value of the certificate) will be issued to your establishment within 8-10 days of receipt of the voided certificate.
