Although restaurant fundraisers drive revenue and enhance community engagement with restaurants, they are truly a hassle to plan and manage. But that was before DonationScout—the industry leading enterprise software that streamlines the restaurant fundraiser event process for both the restaurants and fundraising organizations. DonationScout allows restaurants to book more fundraiser events with ease, leading to revenue and profit growth along with additional visibility in the community.

Currently, when restaurants partner with a community organization to host a spirit night, they are taking on many additional hours of administrative tasks. Typically, organizing restaurant fundraisers requires a great deal of back-and-forth with community groups throughout the entire process. From scheduling to creating marketing materials, to payouts, it’s a hassle. That is, without DonationScout. Here’s a look at our simplified process for traditional and online fundraisers:

Every data point in DonationScout can be exported to excel. This includes, but is not limited to, organization details, event status, event results, location details, etc.
Yes, you can invite unlimited users to your DonationScout account at no additional cost. Invited users can have access to all locations or only those you specify.
No, you can have many types of fundraiser types in DonationScout. We work with brands who offer the same fundraiser payouts, days of the week and times across all locations, as well as some that have a very unique offering. DonationScout was built to perfectly articulate your fundraiser program regardless of complexity.
Yes, completely! You can offer events 7 days a week or just a couple. We also have the flexibility to customize further by removing dates from the calendar.
There are a couple options here. For groups that choose to manage fundraiser events manually, we will simply send them all the relevant details of a fundraiser request so they can follow up on their own. This is a similar experience to a webform request. Alternatively, you can exclude certain locations from the system altogether.
We do not charge an onboarding fee at this time.
We charge a flat monthly fee per location that is based on the number of locations associated with an account. Click HERE to request a preliminary quote.
Not at all! DonationScout is a monthly subscription that can be canceled with 5 days notice.
DonationScout is an intuitively designed software product that requires absolutely NO TRAINING! That said, the DonationScout team is available for as many pre-launch training sessions as needed.
For full white-lable customers, it typically takes three to four weeks to go live, although we have launched in as little as two weeks.
While a website integration is the best way to drive event requests while providing a great user experience to your fundraising partners, it is NOT a requirement to use DonationScout. As a standalone product, you will have shareable links that will provide organizations entry into the software.
