Uptown Gifts®
Digital Gift Card Software
Uptown Gifts® is a digital menu add-on that enables any menu item to become a gift card. Restaurant guests can easily send gifts to friends from their own phone using Uptown Gifts® with BYOM™.
eGift software that turns your menu items into unique gift experiences. Guests send fully customized, thoughtful gift cards directly from your menu in augmented reality.
Uptown Gifts® is an add-on solution for BYOM™ Enterprise. A 15% transaction fee on gifts sold is billed monthly.
Integrates with BYOM™ digital menus. Choose some or all of your menu items to be offered as gifts. Guests fill a gift bag directly through your menu, choose a gift wrapping paper, and add a custom video or text message. Gifts are delivered via text message or email and opened in Augmented Reality. The gifts are redeemable at your establishment for their monetary value, like traditional restaurant gift certificates. A secure code and POS reconciliation number are used to finalize transactions.
A New Way to Send Gift Cards Online.
Gift cards—even eGift cards—are oftentimes uninspiring and impersonal. They send a signal that someone is too busy to find a thoughtful present, or didn’t know what to purchase. Uptown Gifts® bridges the gap between mobile gift cards and traditional, heartfelt generosity.
Guests browsing your menu can bundle any of your restaurant offerings into a gift. The gift is sent like a regular eGift card, but with a few special twists.
Two Ways to Give.
Uptown Gifts® supports two different paths to sharing heartfelt, thoughtful gifts:
"Traditional" Gifting
"Traditional gifts" are large, constructed gifts such as full dinners, or monetary gift cards.
Examples:
- Two entrées, a bottle of wine & two desserts
- $100 Gift Card
Micro-Gifting
Micro-gifts are an inexpensive way to send a small, personalized experience to many people. Sending one is as easy as sending a tweet.
Examples:
- A beer for a friend or co-worker
- A chocolate dessert for your daughter

Uptown Gifts® Helps Restaurants Recover Revenue.
Uptown Gifts® truly helps restaurants because it delivers additional revenue and new guests to your door. It doesn't take an inordinate 20-30% transaction fee like some delivery services. While our actual transaction fee is 15%, through the added benefits of the restaurant gift giving platform, the effective transaction fee can be much lower:
