Vouch is a record of local places to eat and drink, written by people who go there.
Submitting a review takes about sixty seconds. You get a profile of your reviews, points and badges. The more points you have, the bigger your chance of winning this month's food voucher.
Confirm the visit, say what the place was like and add a photograph of the food, room or storefront. The photograph adds one point.
Same standard of writing, no picture. Still useful, still counts, worth slightly less because the photo is the part nobody else can supply.
No receipt or booking confirmation. It publishes normally, is marked as unverified and carries a third of the weight in the venue's rating.
You keep every point you earn. Once twelve count toward a month's draw, more reviews still help other diners and stay on your profile.
Snap it at the table. We read the venue and the date off it and never publish the image. Works after the fact, which is the usual case.
A confirmation email with the venue and date in it. Useful for places where the receipt goes in the bin before you think about it.
Verification shows that a review came from a real visit and gives it more weight in the venue's rating.
Every qualifying take filed in the month adds to the pot. A quiet month makes a small one, a busy month makes a big one, and you can watch it move on the leaderboard.
If a month falls short of two hundred takes, nothing is drawn. Points carry forward and the pot compounds into the next month rather than paying out to a pool of eleven people.
Prizes are meals, tabs and other food rewards at participating local places. Winners are announced in the newsletter.
You can also enter without writing a review. The details are in the terms.
These rules are designed to keep reviews and ratings useful.
First to review any of them earns three bonus points and a mark on your profile that stays there.
