Cooking up customer loyalty with Best Restaurants gift cards

There’s a special satisfaction in giving a gift that lands right. And with 28 years of experience connecting Australian diners to some of the country’s most respected and iconic restaurants, the Best Restaurants gift card is the gift that hits the mark every time.

Unlike traditional gift cards limited to one venue, Best Restaurants gift cards open the door to a curated catalogue of over 450 premium dining experiences. Rather than an obligation, recipients are handed an invitation, a reflection of Best Restaurants’ philosophy of offering a curated yet unrestricted opportunity to explore Australia’s culinary diversity on their own terms.

Every use of their Best Restaurants gift card marks an experience that’s wholly their own, whether that’s an al fresco meal at a Sydney harbourside restaurant, an intimate dinner in a country bistro, or game changing dining at a chef-driven hotspot in Melbourne. By opening doors without limiting choices, a Best Restaurants gift card feels personal despite its broad-ranging appeal.

“Our selection of venues is not just about variety. It is about ensuring a flexible, premium experience. Our customers love that they can rely on our gift cards to deliver high-quality dining and are assured access to top restaurants that offer consistently excellent food and service,” says Rajneen Arora, CEO of Best Restaurants.

For the giver, this attention to quality paired with the exclusive access and elevated experiences that our cards provide gives them the confidence to gift our cards, knowing they’re gifting a premium personal experience that shows they care. For the recipient, the Best Restaurants gift card is an incentive to explore. It encourages them to break away from their usual dining routine. Every meal becomes an opportunity to create new memories, share great moments with friends or family, and appreciate the experience in their own way.

Partner restaurants benefit, too, in tangible ways. For starters, the Best Restaurants gift card drives increased spend during dining experiences –­ on average by two to three times the card’s value. This creates a significant boost to restaurant revenues.

“In a market where many programs are focused on offering discounts, Best Restaurants sets itself apart by encouraging not only full-value spending but also overspending, a unique service to the industry,” says Arora.

The program also provides valuable marketing exposure and enhances the restaurant’s premium positioning in the market. By connecting venues with an active, discerning foodie audience, the Best Restaurants gift card introduces them to a clientele who not only understand and value quality but are likely to become repeat patrons and advocates. Best Restaurants also fosters a collaborative spirit with its partners, creating fun opportunities to connect with diners who appreciate unique and memorable experiences.

During the festive season, the Best Restaurants gift card’s appeal only deepens. By offering recipients a reason to gather, celebrate, and share time around a table, it is an antidote to the obligatory consumerism that often marks holiday shopping.

In an industry where many gift card providers come and go, it is no accident that Best Restaurants has managed to stay relevant. It is the result of nearly three decades of commitment to quality and trust. For restaurants interested in connecting with a clientele that appreciates quality, partnering with Best Restaurants could be the best gift of the season.
