Staff benefits
Employee discounts for your business
Give your staff real discounts at local businesses — without cards, codes or spreadsheets. LocalPartner brings employee discounts together in one platform, where every employee has a personal QR code and the discount is applied on the spot.
What are employee discounts — and why do they pay off?
Employee discounts are one of the most tangible benefits a business can offer. They cost little, are felt every month and give staff a reason to shop locally. Traditionally, discount schemes have meant negotiating with large chains, issuing physical cards or maintaining unwieldy spreadsheets. LocalPartner keeps it simple: the discounts come from mutual partnerships between local businesses, and everything is handled in the platform.
How it works
- Register your business with its name, town and type — it takes a few minutes.
- Add your locations and generate a QR code for each.
- Find local partners, send partnership proposals and agree a mutual discount.
- Employees scan their personal QR code at partner locations and get the discount straight away.
Why local partnerships beat traditional discount schemes
A traditional discount deal is one-sided: you give the discount but rarely get anything back. With mutual partnerships, both businesses' employees save at each other — and both shops gain new local customers. It builds a stronger local network, supports employee retention and creates loyalty that stays in the community.
What it costs
The base plan starts at €9.90 per month and includes one location and one employee. You add further locations for €8.90 per month and further employees for €1.90 per month. All prices exclude VAT, and you begin with a free 30-day trial with no commitment.

What are employee discounts?
Employee discounts are benefits your staff receive at other businesses — usually a fixed percentage off their purchases. With LocalPartner, these discounts come from mutual partnerships between local businesses, so each partner's employees save at the other.
How much does an employee discount platform cost?
The base plan is €9.90 per month and includes one location and one employee. Additional locations are €8.90 per month and additional employees €1.90 per month. All prices exclude VAT, and you start with a free 30-day trial with no commitment.
How do my employees access the discounts?
Each employee gets a personal QR code in the LocalPartner app. At checkout in a partner location they show the code and the discount is applied immediately. There are no physical cards or manual codes to manage.
What kinds of businesses is it for?
Any local business with staff — cafés, shops, gyms, salons, restaurants and offices. The more local partners there are in an area, the more value both the businesses and their employees get.
