For guests: a culinary surprise
A menu whose precise dishes are revealed at the table or on collection. Created by the restaurant, attractively priced and available in limited quantities. The dishes remain a surprise; allergens and available dietary options are discussed beforehand.
How it works
Apply with your restaurant
Send your restaurant and contact details. We contact you to discuss your dedicated page, access and subscription.
Publish a menu for today
After setup, publish a same-day menu based on available ingredients or free tables. Choose price, date, quantity, dining or collection times, photo, allergens and dietary options. You may indicate meat, fish or vegetarian. The planned portal lets you edit and mark menus sold out.
Receive reservations directly
Guests contact your own WhatsApp with the chosen menu, date and price. You confirm the reservation, update the available quantity and arrange payment directly with the guest.

You remain responsible for quantities and reservation confirmations. You can indicate a meat, fish, vegetarian or other menu type. The exact dishes remain a surprise. Clearly state allergens and available dietary options and discuss them before confirming with the guest.

Register your restaurant ↗Frequently asked questions
Can I publish a menu for the same day?
Yes, after portal setup you can choose the same-day offer, times and number of menus. Guests request a reservation through your own WhatsApp that day. You confirm availability and update quantities.
Do I need surplus ingredients to participate?
No. You can create a surprise menu from your own kitchen to promote your restaurant on quiet days. If five or ten tables are available, offer a limited number of menus to attract extra guests.
Can I indicate meat, fish or vegetarian?
Yes. You may indicate the menu type while keeping the exact dishes a surprise. Allergens and dietary options must be clear and discussed beforehand.
Could this also generate drinks revenue?
Yes. Guests dining in may order drinks too. You handle menu and drinks payments directly with the guest. Star Local Deals charges no commission per menu. Additional revenue or reservations are not guaranteed.
Do I decide what to offer?
Yes. You choose the dishes using fresh, available ingredients, the days, price and number of menus. The precise contents remain a surprise for the guest.
Can I add menus or log in now?
Not yet. This page accepts applications. The restaurant portal will be built in the next phase. We then discuss your page setup and access.
How does a WhatsApp reservation work?
The guest opens your own WhatsApp with a message containing the menu, date and price. This is a request. You confirm the reservation and update the available quantity yourself.
Who receives payment?
Your restaurant arranges payment directly with the guest. Star Local Deals charges €49 a month for the subscription and no commission per menu.
Is there a discount for annual payment?
Yes. Paying the full annual amount in one payment gives you 50% off the monthly price multiplied by twelve: €49 × 12 = €588, less 50% = €294 per year. This equals €24.50 per month. You pay €294 upfront, rather than monthly instalments of €24.50.
How do I handle allergens and dietary requests?
Enter allergens and any dietary options for every menu. Discuss what is possible before confirming the reservation. The surprise must not hide this information; the restaurant remains responsible for accurate information and safe preparation.
What happens when a menu sells out or expires?
The configured portal will let you mark a menu sold out. It will automatically hide the menu after its end time. Your restaurant page stays visible.
Will my restaurant stay visible without a surprise menu?
Yes. Your dedicated page with website, full menu and WhatsApp links stays visible, even when no surprise menu is available.
Does my subscription start immediately after applying?
No. We first receive your application and discuss setup, subscription start and terms with you. This form does not take payment.
