ORLANDO, Fla., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Swipe Savvy, a customer engagement and rewards platform, today announced the acquisition of GiftAMeal, the restaurant marketing platform that turns guest photos into meals for local food banks.
The GiftAMeal experience is simple for both guests and restaurants. Diners scan a QR code, snap a photo to trigger a meal donation, and can then share on social media to provide additional meals. No app download is required, and the process takes just seconds. For restaurant staff, there is no added effort, making it a seamless addition to existing operations. After the acquisition, GiftAMeal will continue operating as normal for current restaurant partners, with no interruption to service or changes required.
Each “meal” donated through GiftAMeal represents a monetary contribution that helps food banks distribute 1.2 pounds of groceries to families in need.
To date, GiftAMeal has partnered with more than 1,200 restaurant locations across 46 states, helping provide nearly 3 million meals through 185 local food banks. Participating restaurants range from independent operators to national brands, including Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken, Snarf’s Sandwiches, and The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill, along with franchise locations of nationally recognized brands like Chick-fil-A, Häagen-Dazs Shops, and Scooter’s Coffee.
The acquisition brings together two companies focused on helping businesses build stronger customer relationships while driving measurable results. By combining Swipe Savvy’s engagement and loyalty tools with GiftAMeal’s built-in social impact experience, brands will be able to create deeper connections with guests through shared purpose.
Beyond its social impact, GiftAMeal has also demonstrated strong business results for restaurant partners. On average, guests who use GiftAMeal visit 39% more often, spend 20% more per order, and tip 32% more per visit. Because the program is funded by the restaurant and is free for the guest, it creates a feel-good experience that guests associate directly with the brand, driving stronger loyalty while encouraging guests to share their experience on social media and organically promote the restaurant.
“GiftAMeal has proven that doing good and driving growth go hand-in-hand,” said Jason Mayoral, CEO of Swipe Savvy. “Their platform creates a genuine emotional connection between guests and the restaurants they love. Together, we’re excited to give brands new ways to reward customers not just for what they spend, but for the impact they help create.”
As part of the acquisition, GiftAMeal will enhance Swipe Savvy’s Points for Purpose™ program, which allows customers to support non-profits through everyday purchases. Integrating GiftAMeal’s photo-based donation experience will expand the program’s reach and make it even easier for businesses to connect customer engagement with community impact.
“When I started GiftAMeal, the goal was simple: make it easy for restaurants to give back and give guests a reason to feel good about where they eat,” said Andrew Glantz, Founder & CEO of GiftAMeal. “Nearly 3 million meals later, joining Swipe Savvy means we can bring that mission to more restaurants and more communities.”
GiftAMeal will continue to operate as both a standalone offering and an integrated feature within Swipe Savvy’s product suite. Glantz will join Swipe Savvy as VP of Strategic Partnerships, where he will lead the continued growth and integration of GiftAMeal.
This acquisition reflects Swipe Savvy’s broader commitment to helping brands build loyalty through purpose, connection, and community impact.
