2 min read • July 17, 2025

Promotions are a great way to bring in more customers. And now, there’s a more efficient way to do it — with Bolt sharing part of the cost.

Smart Promotions is a new Bolt Food Partner Portal feature that helps you grow faster, cut unnecessary spending, and do less manual work

A better way to promote your restaurant

Smart Promotions focus on attracting customers who haven’t ordered from you in a while or ever before and need an extra nudge.

This way, your discounts go to the people most likely to claim them, helping you grow your orders without spending more than you need to.

More reasons to choose Smart Promotions

It’s not just smarter targeting, Smart Promotions give you more value for every campaign with no upfront cost:

  • Bolt shares the cost with you (up to 50%, depending on the market).
  • The campaign automatically adjusts for the most efficient use of your budget.
  • Estimated costs are shown upfront in the Partner Portal.
  • Your restaurant will be featured on the Bolt Food app’s home screen.

Earn more per every euro you invest

A restaurant in Estonia saw a 70% revenue boost after switching to Smart Promotions.

And it’s not just a one-off. On average, Smart Promotions outperforms regular promotions, even when the same amount is invested. In this case:

  • €1,000 invested in Smart Promotions led to €5,400 in extra sales.
  • That’s about 17% more than regular promotions delivered.

Easy to set up, easy to track

You can launch Smart Promotions with just a few clicks from the Bolt Food Partner Portal.

We recommend using the Maximised plan, which has a pre-set, data-backed setup optimised to give you the best return on investment.

The dashboard will show you how many extra sales Smart Promotions brought in.

If you prefer to stay hands-on, you can also customise your Smart Promotions setup.
