REFERRAL PROGRAM
Refer another venue to OpShifts. When they convert from their free trial month into a paying subscriber, you both get one additional free month — on us. Running more than one venue yourself? Refer your own new location the same way.
Reward triggers on conversion to a paid plan, not on signup.
