Fair local subscription model

Built to route visitor spend, not extract from it.

GuestNetwork is intentionally different from coupon marketplaces, delivery platforms, ad networks, and pay-to-rank directories. The model is simple: free for guests and lodging partners, with small flat subscriptions for participating independent merchants.

Mission

Help local businesses capture visitor demand without giving away margin.

GuestNetwork exists to create a trusted in-person access layer between verified guests and independent local businesses. The platform should make local discovery measurable while preserving merchant economics.

No commissionsGuestNetwork does not take a percentage of merchant sales or redemptions.
No ad revenueThe network is not funded by selling attention, ranking, or sponsored clutter.
No transaction marginsLocal businesses keep their sale economics instead of surrendering margin.
No guest data salesReporting should be privacy-aware and focused on claims, redemptions, and local impact.
Merchant subscription philosophy

Small flat subscriptions by business type and size.

Merchant plans should be intentionally affordable and easy to justify. Participation should feel like a fair local membership, not an extractive platform fee.
