With multiple venues across Melbourne, Commune Group sees the promotion as an opportunity for the team to thank all of its customers, both loyal and new, who have shown ongoing support for their venues. Simon Blacher, Creative Director of Commune Group shares, 

“Our guests are the heart and soul of Commune, and we are thrilled to bring back the ‘Dine & Cash’ promotion as a token of our appreciation. This initiative not only allows us to give back to the city we love but also encourages food enthusiasts to explore or re-discover the experiences our venues have to offer.

Winter can be a pretty miserable time in Melbourne, this is our way of sharing a little bit of food & fun sunshine with everyone.”

To redeem the voucher, diners simply need to scan a QR code that is provided in venue or snap a photo of their bill and submit the receipt on Commune Group’s dedicated online portal; a gift voucher will then be issued within 1-7 working days.
