What kind of Local Link are you?
This is the most important question on our sign-up form and it determines exactly how your earnings or contributions flow through the Local Links community.
There are three ways to participate:
1. Business Supporting Workers You run a local business and you know your community is only as strong as the people serving it. By joining as a Business, you make sure that when customers spend through Local Links, those dollars find their way to your employees. You’re not just a business. You’re a lifeline.
2. Service Industry Worker Bartenders, servers, stylists, drivers. This platform was designed with you at the center. Sign up as a Worker and your earnings from Local Links come straight to you. No middleman. Just a community that finally built something for the people who built it.
3. Community Supporter (Donor) You don’t have to work in the industry or own a business to be part of the solution. Supporters are the backbone of Local Links. Everyday people who choose to spend in a way that pays it forward to service industry workers. If you care about this community, this is your lane.
Not sure where you fit? Think of it this way: Workers earn. Businesses give back. Supporters power it all. Every role matters. Every dollar moves with purpose.

How earnings are distributed
Earnings are routed based on how you participate. Businesses distribute earnings to their employees. Service industry members receive earnings directly. Individuals who do not need personal earnings can have their share donated to a South Bay service industry worker.
What Local Links Earn
Local Links earn a meaningful incentive for each successful connection. Service industry members receive 33% of our revenue share. Earnings include credit for repeat customers, not just first-time visits. Payouts are simple and handled via Venmo, with a $250 threshold or annual payout option. Participants may also choose to donate their earnings to a South Bay service industry worker.
