Abstract
A method for compensating a promoter for recommending a provider to a patron entails use of communicatively coupled applications on a promoter's phone and a provider's computing device. The provider selects the promoter on behalf of a patron and causes a unique code to be sent to the patron's cell phone. The patron presents the code to the provider at the time of patronage, at which time the provider pays the promoter an amount communicated to the promoter's application prior to the selection.
