Run your raffle without the chaos.

Grand opening, anniversary night, game-day promo — or an always-on receipt raffle at the register. One QR on receipts, table tents or a counter card; customers scan on their phone; draw a winner live on a TV or whenever you're ready. No fishbowl. No drama.

The receipt raffle

A QR at the register. Here's the whole thing.

You print this

One QR

On your receipts, a counter card, or both. Works with any POS — Square, Clover, Lightspeed, Toast — because nothing connects to it. You print a code; that's the integration.

They see this

Scan, name, email, done

Thirty seconds at the register or from the table. They get “You're in the drawing” and go back to their fries. Try the screen →

A draw, and a list

Draw when you're ready — on the TV or on a schedule. Winners get emailed. Export everyone who entered, and everyone who ticked “yes, tell me about specials” is a consented contact for your list.

One receipt raffle is one event: run it as long as you like and draw when you're ready. $9 covers up to 100 entrants, $49 up to 250, and limits are soft.

What does a monthly drawing cost?

On a per-event plan, each drawing is its own event. For a new draw every month, get an Annual Membership instead: from $99/year for up to 13 events. After each draw you start the next round from your dashboard, keeping your prizes and entrants or starting fresh, and each month's draw counts as one of the 13. So twelve monthly draws of up to 100 entrants each fit in one Basic Annual at $99. Several locations, or a draw every week? Email us and we'll price it.

A nice bonus

What restaurants like about SimplyRaffle

No POS integration needed

Diners use their own phone. Your servers don't have to remember anything. Your POS doesn't need a plugin.

A real email list as a bonus

Turn on email verification and entries only count once the address is confirmed, so no bounces and no junk. Add an entry question like “Want to hear about specials and events?” and everyone who says yes is a consented contact you can export as a CSV for Mailchimp or any tool that takes one. A raffle entry alone isn't marketing consent; the opt-in question is what makes the list yours to use.

Pricing

One flat fee per event.

No per-ticket fees. 14-day money-back guarantee before you run your draw.

Rather not do it yourself? You run the restaurant; we set up the raffle and hand it to you ready to print. Setup help from $49 →

Annual Membership — from $99/year

Up to 13 events a year for one flat fee: Basic Annual $99 (up to 100 people an event), Standard $299 (250), Pro $499 (500). A new draw every month fits in one. More than 13 a year? Email us for a flat fee.

Check your local rules first

Raffle and sweepstakes rules vary by state, and a for-profit venue usually can't run a “buy a ticket, win a prize” raffle. The common answer is a sweepstakes with a free way to enter, like the counter card anyone can scan without buying, but getting that structure right is up to you. Check with your state's gaming or lottery authority (not the liquor board) or an attorney before your first night. More on the rules →
