How Restaurants Are Increasing Revenue With Our Gift Card Designs

“As an upscale restaurant, we needed gift cards that reflected the sophisticated experience we provide while still being approachable enough to encourage purchases. The designs Lovart created struck this perfect balance. The elegant presentation with subtle gold foil accents and our signature plating style illustrations immediately convey our culinary philosophy. Since implementing these new gift cards across our physical and digital channels, we've seen gift card sales increase by 64% compared to our previous generic designs. Even more valuable has been the higher redemption rate—92% of our new gift cards are redeemed within three months, and recipients spend an average of 38% above the card value during their visit. The holiday variation designs were particularly effective, helping us capture a significant portion of the corporate gift market that we previously missed out on.”

Michael T.

Fine Dining Restaurant Owner

“Managing marketing for a diverse restaurant group with six different concepts presented unique challenges for gift card programs. The customized designs Lovart created for each restaurant perfectly captured their distinct personalities while maintaining subtle group branding elements. The visual consistency across both physical and digital formats has been particularly valuable for our omnichannel gift card program. The most remarkable result has been the increase in cross-concept gift card purchases—our 'dine anywhere' group cards now account for 45% of total gift card revenue, up from just 18% with our previous designs. The premium presentation has also allowed us to successfully position our gift cards as corporate gifts, with B2B sales increasing by 72% after the redesign. For restaurant groups looking to build synergy across concepts while respecting each venue's unique identity, these gift card designs have been transformative.”

Sarah L.

Restaurant Group Marketing Director

“Our family-style restaurant chain had never focused much on gift cards until we saw how much revenue we were potentially missing, especially during the holiday season. The gift card designs Lovart created completely transformed this revenue stream for us. The warm, inviting visuals that incorporate elements of our restaurant's atmosphere and signature dishes immediately resonated with our regular customers. What surprised us most was how effectively the design worked across different formats—from physical gift cards displayed at our host stands to digital versions for last-minute gifts. In our first year with the new designs, gift card sales increased by 230% over our previous basic cards. Even more valuable has been the new customer acquisition—our data shows that 46% of gift card recipients were first-time visitors to our restaurants. For a family restaurant focused on building our regular customer base, this has been an incredibly effective marketing tool disguised as a revenue stream.”

Your Questions, answered

How does Lovart's restaurant gift card creator work?

What makes Lovart different from template-based gift card creators?

Unlike rigid templates that force your unique restaurant into generic designs, our AI creates completely custom gift cards specifically for your establishment. The system understands different restaurant concepts and creates designs that strategically highlight your specific brand attributes—whether you're a fine dining establishment, casual eatery, specialized cuisine restaurant, or café concept.

How do well-designed gift cards increase my restaurant's revenue?

Professional gift card designs drive restaurant revenue in multiple ways: they increase gift card purchase rates through appealing presentation, they attract higher monetary value loadings through premium visual cues, they improve redemption rates through designs that recipients value and want to use, they drive above-face-value spending during redemption visits, they bring in new customers who might not have discovered your restaurant otherwise, and they create marketing exposure beyond your existing customer base as cards are given as gifts.

What formats of restaurant gift cards can I create?

You can create a wide variety of gift formats including traditional physical plastic cards, printable paper certificates, digital e-gift cards for email delivery, social media gift presentations, mobile wallet-compatible digital cards, bulk corporate gift packages, holiday-themed seasonal variations, special occasion designs (birthdays, anniversaries), and combination formats that pair physical presentation cards with digital redemption methods.

Can I create seasonal or holiday-themed gift card variations?

What file formats will I receive for my restaurant gift cards?

How do I implement a gift card program at my restaurant?

After creating your gift card designs, implementation typically involves: 1) For physical cards: selecting a card printing service and determining activation/tracking methods, 2) For digital cards: setting up an e-gift infrastructure through your point-of-sale system or third-party provider, 3) Creating display materials for in-restaurant promotion, 4) Adding gift card purchase options to your website, 5) Training staff on gift card sales and redemption procedures, and 6) Developing a marketing strategy to promote your gift card program, especially during peak gift-giving seasons.

Should my gift cards include an expiration date?

Gift card expiration policies vary by location due to different regulations. Many jurisdictions now prohibit or strictly limit expiration dates on gift cards that have been purchased for monetary value. However, promotional gift cards or certificates may have more flexibility. Our designs can accommodate expiration information if legally permitted in your location, but we recommend consulting local regulations regarding gift card requirements before implementing any expiration policy.
