Places

Cafés, restaurants, local shops

New customers, travellers at your door and zero monthly fee. You only pay when a member's QR is confirmed at your counter: a fixed fee per redemption, by category, the same every time. No surprises. You set the benefit and every rule: how it's used, days and hours, validity, limits per member and in total. Your dashboard shows new vs returning customers.

Hosts, hostels and coworkings

Airbnb / short-term rental hosts, hostels, coworkings

With the host plan, give your guests the local Lisbon: anyone who joins through your QR or link gets 30 days of Meet The Locals free, a perk only your guests get. You use it too, no membership needed, and you earn on every confirmed redemption by your guests during their first 30 days. Payouts via Stripe.

Local ambassadors

Love the spots in your neighbourhood?

Earn extra income by recommending the places you already go to. Send them through our form and we take it from there. When a place you referred gets its first confirmed redemption, you earn a bonus, and from then on you earn on every confirmed redemption there. Help local businesses in your city thrive. No plan to pay. No guaranteed income.

Become a partner

What's in it for my place?

New customers who are actively looking for local favourites, travellers sent your way by local hosts, and a spot on a curated map of places worth visiting in Lisbon.

How much does it cost?

No monthly fee, no setup, no surprises. A fixed fee only when a redemption is confirmed at your counter, by category. The economic conditions in force are communicated to each partner.

Can I control my benefit?

Completely: the benefit, how it's used, days and hours, validity, limits per member and in total. Pause anytime.

What do members pay?

Free lets you explore. Member benefits need the Local or Duo plan (see Membership). Guests who join through a partner host get 30 days free.

Who picks the places?

Local ambassadors and hosts recommend; Meet The Locals approves each place manually.
