## Why consultants recommend Maple

- **A fix clients can start quickly.** Maple sets the restaurant up on its existing phone number and POS, so there is no new system to learn.
- **You advise, we run it.** Maple runs the demo, the setup and the support, so the recommendation does not turn into unpaid work.
- **Income between projects.** 30% of each subscription for as long as the client stays, paid monthly after the engagement ends.
- **Or own the setup.** Agencies that want to set up and bill clients themselves can resell Maple under our reseller terms.

## Where to start: Refer

## Questions

**Can I set Maple up for clients myself?** Referral partners hand setup to Maple. If you would rather own the customer and the billing, the reseller track is built for that; talk to our partner team.

**Are the audit tools free to use with clients?** Yes. The phone audit, missed-call calculator and online grader are free on maple.inc.

**Does it cost anything to join?** No. Signing up and staying in the program are free.

**How long do referral commissions last?** For as long as the restaurant stays a paying Maple customer. The current rate is 30% of what it pays, with no expiry, step-down or cap. Commissions are held 30 days, then paid monthly once you add your payout details and tax form in the portal.

**What does a restaurant I refer get?** 15% off its first 3 months when it signs up through your link or code, on its existing phone number.

**What if I bring other partners in?** You earn 10% of the commissions every partner you recruit earns, for as long as they earn them. It goes one level deep.
