What is Dish Cult Rewards?

Dish Cult Rewards is our brand new loyalty program that will reward diners for dining out at participating venues. They just need to download the Dish Cult app, securely link their credit or debit card, use that same card to pay for the bill at participating venues and watch those points roll in! 

Once the diner has enough points, they will get a voucher to spend at participating venues.

Are all card machines supported?

Our partner Fidel API is integrated at the Card Networks level. Their technology operates on matching the Business Name, Address and MIDs and not specific to card machines. All Brands/Merchants whom wants to take card payments, are issued with a MID - provided the MIDs are unique and correct, they can be onboarded to the Dish Cult Rewards programme and tracked. Provided the card payment/transaction is then successful and comes through the Card Networks, then this will be passed on to Fidel and onto Dish Cult.

How are diner rewards redeemed at my restaurant?

Diners will have to make a booking through the diary to redeem rewards and apply the reward to the booking. The restaurant will confirm the table was seated in the diary and manually adjust the bill to the value of the reward (£10), and Dish Cult Rewards will automatically reimburse the amount in the preceeding billable period.

How do I know a diner or booking is part of the Dish Cult Rewards scheme?

If the diner has booked through Dish Cult, then the restaurants will see this identified in the diner and booking details within the diary. 

If the diner is walk-in, then the restaurant will not know the diner is part of the scheme. 

Can I cancel Dish Cult Rewards whenever I like? / How do I leave Dish Cult Rewards?

If you no longer wish to participate in Dish Cult Rewards program as a venue, you will need to get in contact our customer support team via support@resdiary.com to request cancellation. As per the T&C’s there will be a 30 day cancellation period.

Can I turn off Dish Cult Rewards (Earn or Redeem) for specific periods of times (e.g. Christmas Day)?

Venues can only cancel in line with the agreed cancellation period, which unfortunately means venues will not be able to opt out of the period for specific days, weeks or any other specified time period.
