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.
"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."
Glantz was named a We Are Cortex Ambassador in 2025 – read more on his journey with GiftAMeal here.
