Four ways businesses reward creators
Every deal on Vecino is one of these: clear terms, set by the business, claimed in a tap.
Discount for a post
e.g. 50% off a pizza when you share a story from your visit.
Free when you post
e.g. a free haircut or facial in exchange for one short video.
Get paid + the product
e.g. earn $40 and a free meal for a full feature post.
On the house
e.g. a free latte, no strings, just show the app.
Don’t see what you want? Ask for it.
Creators post what they’d like to make and what they’d like in return. Businesses in that category see the request and send an offer, then the two of you sort out the details right on Vecino.
- Post a request in seconds: what you want to make, and what you'd like in return.
- Businesses reply with concrete terms you can accept or decline.
- Message back and forth to lock in timing before you show up.

Re: Pizza spot for a date-night reel
Hi Maya, we saw your date-night request and just sent over an offer. We’d love to host you.
Amazing, thank you! Is Thursday around 7:30 still open?
Thursday 7:30 is yours. I’ll put you at the corner patio table, best light in the place.
Does any of this actually work?
Reasonable question to ask a company that hasn’t opened yet. We gathered the research on what social media and reputation really do for independent restaurants, linked every source, and wrote down what none of it proves.
