The 4-Tier Ladder: Why Free Verified Becomes Your Defensible Middle
Four tiers laid out: Free Unverified basic, Free Verified with Verified by Visit badge + priority in Don Eats but requires verification + 1 Slow-Shift visit, Rewards + Don Delivery, POS + Multi.
Psychology: Free Unverified is entry, Free Verified is defensible middle for most spots — feels earned, proof is real. Rewards is sensible middle for serious restaurants. POS is max.
Tier pages, comparison layout, choose-tier button front-end only. Founding vs public price shown per tier — no deadline, owner-controlled, founding offer is $497 for one year then $49/mo for life.
