Print the voucher on flyers and packaging inserts, or send it by email. Every copy carries its own code. Staff scan it, or tap Mark as Used on a digital voucher, and that copy is spent. You see how many went out and how many came back.
You decide how guests get the voucher and how staff check it. Coupon Carrier keeps track of every code in between, and your POS is never involved.
Run your next offer with vouchers that work once.

Design the voucher once and print a batch. Each copy has a different QR code, so the guest can use the one in front of them and nobody can use it twice. If you would rather not print, the same voucher goes out digitally.
The scanner suits a busy counter with several people on shift. Mark as Used suits a cafe where one person can take the guest's phone for a moment. Both lock the code.
Staff sign in to the scanner in their phone's browser and point the camera at the printed voucher or the guest's screen. One scan, and the code is redeemed.
The guest opens the voucher on their phone. Staff tap the button and confirm. From then on the voucher shows the date it was used, so staff can see it has already been redeemed.
Not sure which fits your counter? Mark as Used compared with the scanner
Each offer shows how many vouchers were delivered and how many were used. Every scan has a time and a scanner login next to it, so the end-of-week count is already done.
| Scanned | Code | Scanner user |
|---|---|---|
| 08:52:10 | HE-7HX-21Q | counter |
| 08:47:33 | HE-K2M-9WD | terrace |
| 08:41:04 | HE-P8R-3TN | counter |
| 08:30:48 | HE-5LJ-QV7 | takeaway |
Create as many scanner logins as you need. The export tells them apart by login, so you know which part of the shop a voucher came through.
Delivered and used sit side by side for each offer, and whatever never came back is visible too. Tag offers by location or campaign to filter the list.
Export scanned codes with the timestamp and scanner user for each, for a weekly recap or a report to the owner.
A stack of identical paper coupons, or one code posted on Instagram, looks fine on launch day. The trouble starts when there's a queue and nobody can tell which offers are still good.
One free-appetizer offer gets forwarded to every friend in the group, and staff can't tell the original from the copy.Each guest gets their own code, and it works once.
In a rush, servers decide whether a coupon is real while the queue waits.The scanner says Accepted or Already redeemed. Nothing to judge.
Nobody can say how many offers were used, or match the cost against real redemptions.Every scan has a time and a staff login next to it.
Most restaurant checkouts have no idea what a one-time voucher is, and an integration costs more than the campaign.Staff use the phones they already carry. The POS is not involved.
If the voucher is redeemed at a table, counter or service desk, the same check applies.

Redeem the restaurant demo voucher once, then open it again and watch it stay used.
