Our Story

Favordrop was born out of a simple yet powerful idea: how can we create meaningful connections, even when we’re not there? This question came from Tim Sardinia, a longtime Buffalo restaurateur, who envisioned a way to “pay it forward” by treating friends to drinks at their favorite bars and restaurants—even in his absence. In 2021, Tim and his son Jack, an entrepreneur, turned this vision into reality, launching a platform that started as a tool for sharing small moments of generosity.

Since then, Favordrop has grown into something much bigger—a bridge between local businesses, corporate partners, and communities. Today, businesses like car dealerships, marketing agencies, and home services groups use Favordrop to send personalized digital gifts, building trust and driving customer loyalty to grow their businesses. Restaurants, cafes, and other local merchants benefit from increased foot traffic and exposure, creating a win-win ecosystem that connects communities in meaningful ways.

With over 1 million Favordrops sent, a comprehensive rewards platform, and innovative tools for tracking ROI and attribution, Favordrop has transformed the simple act of gifting into a powerful marketing engine. Beloved by users and businesses alike, Favordrop is redefining how companies build trust, drive sales, and strengthen local economies—one digital gift at a time.
