FLAVORS FROM AFAR TOUR PARTNER PROGRAM

Taste LA Differently

Give your guests something they won’t see from the bus.

Add a memorable Pan-African stop to your Hollywood itinerary — and earn revenue every time you send us guests.

Bring the whole group, or refer guests after the tour.

Your route. Your choice.

Two ways to partner.

Model A · Official Tour Stop

Put Flavors From Afar on the itinerary.

Best for full-day tours, private tours, charter groups, student groups and international groups.

Tell us your arrival time, group size, dining window, budget and dietary needs. We build the lunch around your tour and prepare before the group arrives, so your guests sit down, eat and get moving again.

Your group receives

  • Reserved seating for the whole group
  • A pre-arranged menu at an agreed per-person price
  • A confirmed arrival time and service window
  • Dietary needs handled in advance
  • One invoice
  • A one-page confirmation for your guide with menu, timing and day-of contact information

Model B · Referral Partner

Send guests to FFA without changing your route.

Best for celebrity home tours, short Hollywood tours, hop-on/hop-off and walking tours.

You get a partner code and QR link. Guests visit on their own after the tour.

No scheduled stop. No waiting for the group. No route change.

You recommend FFA. We track the guests you send. You get paid.

Send guests. Get paid.

Option 1 · 10% commission

Receive 10% of food sales from your scheduled groups and tracked referrals.

Option 2 · $5 per paid guest

Receive $5 for every paying guest you send. Simple to track. Simple to reconcile.

What 100 guests a week is worth

At $5 per paid guest, 100 paying guests each week generates $500 per week and $26,000 per year in partner revenue.

This example assumes 100 paying guests every week for 52 weeks. Actual earnings depend on the guests you send.

Referral partners can earn without adding a restaurant stop to the itinerary at all.

Build Your Partnership

How you get paid

  • Monthly statement showing every tracked visit, date, party size, check total and your earnings
  • Paid monthly by ACH
  • Scheduled groups: one invoice per group
  • Net 30 for approved partners
  • Referral visits tracked through your unique partner code

Clear. Trackable. Easy to reconcile.

Give your guests a reason to go

Thursday through Sunday from 3–6 PM, guests can take advantage of Passport Hour — 20% off the entire menu.

Want a different benefit specifically for your guests? We can establish a Tour Partner offer with your company before launch so every guide knows exactly what to promote.

Your company wins. Your guests win. Your tour becomes more memorable.
