Helping together
«Helping together» is a card that cannot be bought, and businesses that honour it. Somebody who feeds street cats, takes them to a vet, has them neutered and records it in TailBook gets the card. A café, a groomer or a shop that wants to thank such people gives them something of its own.
The card cannot be bought - only earned. That is what makes it worth something to the people who show it and the people who see it.
Any one of these five is enough. The card is not issued - it is recomputed every time you open it.
We will never show «two more acts to your card». Help is not a task list; the card comes afterwards, as a thank-you.
Partner
A partner is a café, a groomer or a shop that gives people with the card something of its own: a discount, a coffee, a service. A sticker at the till, nothing for the till to do, and joining is free.
At the counter
One check-in per member per day, however many times they show the card. The number a partner sees means people.
Stickers and the card print in the partner's language; the programme is named the same in every TailBook language.
