Commission Structure v1.0
Restaurant Art Studio rewards restaurants that inspire our artworks.
Every sale generated from an image based on your restaurant earns you a commission.
Tier Rates
Commissions are calculated by price tier and by whether it’s the first or additional artwork sold in the same creative.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a creative?
A “creative” is the final artwork design, based on a photo of your restaurant. The image you see in your restaurant gallery online is optimized for screen viewing. To produce a wall print, we refine the same artwork to a high-resolution, color-accurate, print-ready version. Once a creative is print-ready, it can be reused for any print size or product without any extra work.
When are commissions paid?
Commissions are paid 31 days after delivery, provided no return or refund has been initiated.
How do you pay commissions?
Payments are issued via Stripe Connect or ACH, according to your preference.
What information do you share with us?
We share order details (e.g. “Art Print 16″ × 24″ Sketchbook”) within 24 hours of purchase. Buyer contact info can be shared if (a) you request it, (b) the customer consents, and (c) the order is at least 31 days old.
Do I earn a commission if I place the order myself?
Yes. If you are the restaurant owner or authorized representative, you earn a commission on your own orders. We can alternatively issue a one-time coupon of equal value — whichever is simpler for you.
Do I need to make a purchase to join the program?
No. Participation does not require any purchase.
How are returns or cancellations handled?
If an order is refunded or returned before 31 days, its commission is cancelled automatically.
What if a customer buys multiple creatives in one order?
Each creative is treated independently for tier calculation — one may be first-of-creative, another a repeat. If multiple products of different prices based on the same are part of the same order, we apply the "1st creative" rate to the cheapest.
Where can I see my commission history?
We’re building a dashboard to track sales and payouts. Until then, you’ll receive notifications when purchases occur.
What is the quality of your products?
Our prints are museum-grade. We use archival fine-art paper and professional giclée printing, which produces richer colors and sharper details than standard poster printing. Our framing partners use gallery-quality materials as well. Learn more about our materials and process.
How do your prices compare to other wall art options?
Compared to large mass-market wall art sites, our prices are generally 10%–25% higher when you compare the same print and frame quality. The difference is that every piece we sell is created specifically for a real restaurant, using a human-guided creative process, not bulk stock art from publishers. So it’s less “commodity décor” and more like a unique work of art — the comparison isn’t one-to-one.
