Pilot opening in Toronto

A perk network for one neighbourhood at a time. Clinics host a small stand of cards. Local businesses put one offer on a card. Neighbours scan, claim in seconds and get a little cash back. No app. No password. Real money, out in the open.
How it works · 1 / 4

Scan the card in the waiting room.

A small stand on the clinic counter holds one card per local business. Sara picks one up and scans the QR. No app to install.

Where the money goes

One pizza. Every dollar accounted for.

This is the real worked example from our build plan, not a marketing number. Sara buys a $100 pizza with a coupon she picked up in a clinic. Here is what happens to the money, in the order it happens.

What's left after the clinic and Sara.

A sale is final the moment staff commit it.

No dispute window, no hold period. The business is charged within minutes and gets a Stripe receipt.

Hosts are paid on fees actually collected.

If a business's card fails, the clinic's share waits until it is fixed. Nobody is paid out of thin air.

Every number traces end to end.

Coupon to redemption to sale to charge to payout, in one ledger, visible to the people it concerns.

Rules we wrote before the code

Neighbourly. Clear. Rewarding.

A perk network in a clinic has to be more careful than one in a café. So the careful part is not a policy page, it is the way the system is built.

No health data. Not a field, not a log line.

A card in a clinic is a card, nothing more. We never know why anyone was there. Health card numbers, visits and prescriptions have no place to go in our system.

Healthcare offers are refused, by the server.

Clinics host cards for pizza, coffee and haircuts. Medical services, pharmacies and aesthetics are blocked as a category and cannot be relabelled in.

Consent is a separate, unchecked box.

Getting a coupon never signs anyone up for marketing. Every marketing email has a working unsubscribe, as Canada's anti-spam law requires.

Hosted in Canada, backed up nightly.

One Postgres database in Google Cloud's Toronto region, nightly dumps kept 30 days, and a restore drill we actually run.

Staff can't redeem their own coupon.

The system knows it is the same person and stops it. Self-dealing is a rejected request, not a report someone reads later.

The pilot

One neighbourhood. Ten clinics. Twelve shops. Then the next one.

We are choosing the first Toronto neighbourhood now. Tell us where you are and what you run, and we will come by with a sample stand.

No newsletter. We only use this to reach you about the pilot.
