Rewards Network

Founded in 1984, we are a fintech company offering marketing, loyalty rewards programs, and capital solutions for the restaurant industry. We partner with loyalty programs such as United MileagePlus, Marriott Bonvoy, T-Mobile, American Airlines AAdvantage, Delta Skymiles, Bilt, Rakuten, Hilton Honors, Upside, Atmos Rewards, IHG, and jetBlue to attract full-price guests to restaurants. Our network includes over 20,000 restaurants and more than 25 million dining members who earn rewards from these travel and retail partners when they dine. On average, our dining members spend 24% more than other customers within the network and have an annual credit card spend 2.5 times higher than the average consumer.

We also provide capital to restaurants by pre-purchasing food and beverage on behalf of our dining members, having funded over $3.4 billion. We offer live sales reports, guest survey analytics, and market restaurants locally and nationally without upfront costs or POS software. We also help restaurants engage with verified dining members for reviews and repeat visits. Restaurants only pay us when we attract full-price guests, not for clicks or views.

We believe that thriving local restaurants contribute to thriving communities. We are committed to supporting local business owners, and it’s central to what we do.

We aim to treat our partner restaurants’ success as our own.

Rewards Network has over 400 professionals, working from its Chicago headquarters and in the field across the country. The company has a culture of collaboration, agility, and support, emphasizing a positive work/life balance and a friendly atmosphere.

Employees are encouraged to work cooperatively and respectfully, focusing on assisting colleagues and providing value to restaurants, members, and partners. The environment is casual and caring. The company organizes social events like ping pong tournaments, holiday parties, and company lunches. Employees also participate in community volunteering, such as with the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

Many roles based in the Chicago office operate on a hybrid model, typically requiring in-office presence three days a week.

We offer comprehensive employee benefits to support our team’s well-being. This includes two medical plan options (Standard PPO or High Deductible Health Plan with an HSA and employer match), two dental plan options, and a vision plan. Other health benefits include an Employee Assistance Program, Flexible Spending Accounts for health and dependent care, and a partnership with Rx n Go for certain free prescriptions.

We provide generous PTO, flexible PTO, 11 company holidays, and parental leave. For financial security, we offer a 401(k) plan with a 50% employer match up to 8% of base salary, competitive base salaries, and potential for uncapped monthly commissions or annual bonuses. Sales roles benefit from accelerated earnings during their first 12 months.

We provide employer-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance. You can also purchase supplemental employee, spouse, and child life insurance. Employees receive a 33% reimbursement when dining at our partner restaurants.

Other perks include commuter benefits (pre-tax parking and public transit), wellness offerings like free access to our Chicago office’s fitness center, and catered lunches on Tuesdays in the Chicago office. Some roles receive an auto allowance. Sales teams are eligible for prizes, including an annual President’s Club trip. Our Sales Academy provides in-depth training, and promotion opportunities are available based on defined metrics.
