Two engines, kept separate

Same category — leverage other people — two different animals.

They solve different parts of the funnel, so they get different systems, portals, and economics. Never merged.

Affiliate

Amplifier · gets restaurants to look

The compensation plan

One rule. Bring more, earn more. Across both brands.

The rule

You earn a recurring share of everything your restaurants pay KRZY — content, management, or both — every month they stay. Bring more, your rate steps up. You're paid for restaurants that stick.

◆ The recruiting layer — partners only

Affiliates earn on the restaurants they bring — no team. Partners can build one: recruit others and earn a flat override on everything they sell, no matter what level you're at. One tier deep, kept simple.

The bigger story

We're not signing up users. We're creating jobs in the industry.

The restaurant world is full of people with relationships and hustle but a capped ceiling — servers, bartenders, food creators, former managers. KRZY turns that into income. We're minting a new local role: the restaurant growth partner. Start with a side check. End up owning a business.

Level 1 · Affiliate

A serious side income

Servers · food creators · locals with a network

Share a link with restaurants you already know. Earn a recurring check on every one that sticks — no quitting your job, no cold-selling.

$1,000–4,000/mo recurring, at 8–25 clients
Level 2 · Business Partner

A business you own

Ex-GMs · local agencies · proven affiliates

Own a territory, carry accounts, and recruit a team you earn on. Month-over-month recurring revenue that compounds — a franchise-like business without the franchise fee.

$11k+/mo recurring + a growing downline

“Every restaurant we help creates a little more work for the people who helped them — a flywheel of local income that grows the more the industry wins.”

How a sale actually happens

The demo-led referral engine — a shared link to a paid client.

The metric that matters isn't clicks. It's restaurants that saw themselves. Every rep manufactures that moment; the product takes it from there.

01

Share

Rep drops their personalized link — “[Name] wants to show you your restaurant.”

Their code
02

See it

Owner runs the free demo and watches their own place become a premium brand.

The close
03

Attribute

The demo view + signup carry the rep's code → the referral is credited.

04

Land & stay

Trial → paid → past 30 days. Retention unlocks the commission.

Anti-churn
05

Pay

Recurring share appears in the rep's portal; founder approves the payout.

Carrying it out & keeping it healthy

The guardrails that let you sleep at night.

Quality never leaves the building

Reps bring restaurants; they never touch content or coaching. The human-review moat stays with KRZY, protecting the no-AI-slop promise.

Retention-gated commission

Recurring, only while a client is active & paid, starting after 30 days. Reps are paid for restaurants that stay — churn-gaming doesn't pay.

Anti-poaching & IP control

Partner agreements protect client relationships; KRZY controls payouts, account access, and the customer record.

Soft-audit & cadence

Affiliates get a dashboard + monthly promo drop + leaderboard. Partners get a monthly business review and a soft-audit on territory health.

Payments stay manual

Every payout amount is surfaced; you approve and execute. The agent never moves money.

Simple by design

One tier of recruiting, one rule for earning. Simple survives contact with reality; clever plans collapse.

The progression ladder

Affiliates can't recruit — so give them somewhere to climb.

Prove yourself as an affiliate and you're invited up to Partner, where recruiting and overrides unlock. The plan recruits your best people for you.

Own tables, role, portal (pipeline, downline, overrides) — split from affiliate.

One-level override tracking + the affiliate→partner promotion path.

The whole thing in one line

Put a self-demoing product in the hands of people with local reach, pay them a simple recurring share across both KRZY brands that grows as they grow, let the best ones build teams — and turn customer acquisition into a new job in the industry.
