Mildreds is London's original vegetarian and vegan restaurant, with six locations across Soho, Covent Garden, King's Cross, Camden, Dalston, and Victoria. Its gift cards are built to work the same way whether a guest buys one online or picks one up connected to an in-restaurant visit.
Integrated Across Two Channels
A gift card created in Leat is usable across both of Mildreds' core channels, with no separate setup needed for each one.
In-restaurant, gift cards redeem directly at the till through Lightspeed K Series, the point-of-sale system running across all six Mildreds locations, so a card works the same way regardless of which restaurant a guest visits.
Online, the Mildreds shop runs on WooCommerce, where customers can purchase a card in a range of values, all tracked back to the same underlying gift card system rather than a separate online-only balance.
Whichever channel a card starts on, it works the same on the other. Buy one online through WooCommerce, and it redeems just as easily at any of the six restaurants through Lightspeed K Series, no adjustment needed on either end.
Why This Matters
For a restaurant group with six separate locations, consistency matters more than it might for a single site. A guest gifting a card for a Soho dinner shouldn't have to worry about whether it'll be recognized the same way at Camden or Dalston, and it isn't a concern here, since every location runs off the same Lightspeed K Series setup, connected to the same gift card program as the online store. Every card sold, whether through the website or in person at any location, feeds back into one unified, trackable revenue stream.
The Card
Mildreds' gift cards are available across a flexible price range from £20 to £150, giving guests room to choose an amount that fits anything from a casual lunch to a full dinner for two.
How It Works
Every gift card starts in Leat, created once and made available across both the online and in-restaurant experience, rather than being configured separately for each channel.
From there, a customer can purchase a card through the Mildreds shop via WooCommerce, or acquire one in person at any of the six locations through Lightspeed K Series, with activity from both feeding into the same customer and card record.
Behind the scenes, Leat tracks balances centrally, so a card bought online is just as redeemable in person as one purchased directly in-restaurant, with no manual reconciliation required between locations or systems.
The Takeaway
Mildreds' gift card setup shows what a consistent, cross-location program looks like for a growing restaurant group. By connecting Lightspeed K Series across all six sites to the same WooCommerce-powered online store, every gift card works identically no matter where it was bought or where it's redeemed: one system, one balance, six locations.
