Cashback System for Restaurants in Dubai | Zero Setup Fees
Places Cashback is the simplest way to reward your diners and bring them back — without paying a single dirham upfront. Unlike traditional loyalty programs that require expensive hardware, plastic cards, or monthly software subscriptions, Places Cashback runs entirely through the Places app that thousands of diners in Dubai already use.
Here is how it works: a diner visits your restaurant, pays their bill through the Places app, and instantly receives cashback into their Places wallet. That cashback can only be spent at Places partner restaurants — including yours — creating a closed-loop ecosystem that keeps customers coming back. You set the cashback percentage, and Places handles the technology, payment processing, and customer notifications.
There are no setup fees, no monthly fees, and no contracts. Places charges a flat 5% platform fee per transaction — that is it. Payment processing is powered by Paymob and supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, and Mastercard, so your customers can pay however they prefer. The system works from day one with zero integration required on your end.
Restaurants on Places Cashback see an average 30% increase in repeat visits within the first 90 days. The wallet ecosystem means that cashback earned at other restaurants can be spent at yours — turning every Places partner into a referral channel for your business. It is the most cost-effective customer retention tool available to Dubai restaurants today.
How Places Cashback Works
The process is straightforward for both you and your customers. Once your restaurant is live on Places, diners can find you through the app, browse your menu, read review summaries, and pay directly from their phone. When they pay, the cashback amount you have set is instantly credited to their Places wallet.
That wallet balance is spendable at any Places partner restaurant, which means customers who earn cashback elsewhere may choose your restaurant to spend it. This creates a powerful network effect — the more restaurants join Places, the more valuable the ecosystem becomes for every partner.
Zero Risk, Maximum Reward
Traditional loyalty programs charge you whether they work or not. Monthly software fees, card printing costs, and setup charges add up fast — and if customers do not engage, you have wasted your budget. Places Cashback flips this model: you only pay when a transaction happens. No transaction, no fee. The 5% platform fee covers payment processing, wallet management, customer notifications, and your listing on the Places discovery platform.
There is no long-term contract. You can adjust your cashback percentage at any time, run limited-time promotions with higher cashback rates, or pause the program entirely. You are always in control.
Supported Payment Methods
Places Cashback is powered by Paymob, a leading payment infrastructure provider in the MENA region. Your customers can pay using Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, or any card stored in their digital wallet. The checkout experience is seamless — customers simply tap to pay within the Places app, and the cashback is applied automatically.
