Promotional codes are a great way for you to attract customers to your menu! The promo codes you create through your Shef Dashboard will ONLY work for customers who are ordering from you/your menu via Shef.com.
Note: creating promo codes is completely optional. The discount you provide will be subtracted from your earnings for the order and Shef will not reimburse you if you create or distribute promo codes in error.
How to create a promo code:
Go to the "Grow your Business" section of your Shef dashboard and click on the tab titled “Promotions" to begin. Click the "Create a promo code" button, fill out the required information, and then click "Submit" to create your code.
After creating your promo code, you can share it on your social channels or with personal contacts! Click the "Share a Promo" dropdown and select the code you'd like to share.
To see all of your active or past promo codes, click the "Manage promo codes" button in the "Promotions" tab.
