Maple works with the POS and reservation systems restaurants already run.

Reps sell more than cases now.

Pay follows the account

US Foods moved its local sellers from half fixed, half variable pay to fully variable pay in June 2024. Reps earn by growing the accounts they hold.

Why distributors add Maple

Help that sells more of what you deliver

Maple answers every call, takes the order and sends it to the kitchen through the POS, during the rush and after hours.

No new work for reps

A rep makes the introduction. Maple runs the demo, sets the restaurant up on its existing number and POS, and supports it.

One account for every rep

Invite your reps in the partner portal and their referrals roll up to one account.

Income on top of the route

30% of each subscription for as long as the restaurant stays. On Maple Pro that is $105 a month per location.

Where to start: Refer

Distributors refer: reps share a link or submit a restaurant, and Maple sells, bills and supports it. To list Maple in your own technology program, talk to our partner team.

Questions partners ask.

Can each rep refer restaurants?

Yes. Invite your reps in the partner portal so their referrals roll up to one company account.

Does a demo cost the restaurant anything?

No. Demos are free, and restaurants that sign up through a partner get a discount on their first months.

Can we offer Maple through our own technology program?

Yes. Gordon Food Service customers already find Maple in Back of House, its technology program. Talk to our partner team about listing Maple with the tools you offer your customers.

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.

Referral partners work under the partner program terms and resellers under the reseller terms. Current rates always show in the portal. Questions: partners@maple.inc.
