The economic effects of the coronavirus outbreak, which deeply affects the world, continue to affect the HoReCa sector day by day. Money flows are hampered because restaurants, cafes and hotels closed and with ongoing payments such as bills, rent and employee fees, businesses are going through a tough time. One of the solutions that supports the HoReCa industry by ensuring the flow of money is to sell vouchers and gift cards for use when restaurants open. In this way, restaurants can provide the flow of money during the quarantine period and continue to communicate with future customers after the crisis.
