For restaurants & bars
Your staff is your
greatest asset.
We help you prove it.
Slate works with how you already operate. Reservation or walk-in. We bring your team's excellence to the surface.
When a great server joins your team they bring their reputation with them. On Slate that reputation is visible. Their followers get notified. Guests who've followed them across three other restaurants now know they're at your venue.
That's not marketing. That's word of mouth at scale — driven entirely by the quality of your staff.
No reservation system changes. No new software to learn. Slate layers on top of how you already operate.
What you get
Staff-driven discovery
When a top-rated server joins your team their followers get notified automatically. Your hiring becomes a marketing event.
Retain your best people
$SERVE token rewards give your top servers a financial reason to stay and perform at their best. Happy staff means happy guests.
Real performance data
See which staff members drive the most repeat visits, highest ratings, and best reviews. Know who your stars are before they leave.
Live vibe intelligence
Guests report your venue's energy in real time. See when you're running hot and surface that intelligence to new guests nearby.
How it works
Apply to join
Tell us about your venue. We onboard NYC restaurants and bars during our pilot phase. No reservation system required.
Your servers claim their profiles
Each server or bartender on your team claims their free Slate profile. Takes 2 minutes. They activate their shift QR each day.
Guests scan after great service
When a guest has an exceptional experience they scan the server's QR code. A verified on-chain rating is created. No fake reviews.
Their followers come to you
Every guest who follows a server on your team gets notified when that server is working. Their loyalty drives your covers.
