# MonShop > See what independent shops, cafés and restaurants near you have today, from real shelf photos and specials, and get 5% off where you are a regular. MonShop is a two-sided neighbourhood app. Shoppers look around a map of the independent shops, cafés and restaurants near them, see today's specials and photos of what is actually on the shelves, and bookmark places. Every bookmark is a membership: show the live pass at the counter and get 5% off. Shopkeepers open their place in two minutes and post with one big Snap & post button: the camera opens, the photo is shrunk on the phone, and the price is optional. Each place keeps a top-20 shelf of its latest posts. Who it's for: Neighbours who shop local, and the shopkeepers, cafés and restaurants on their street ## What it does - A map of independent shops, cafés and restaurants near you - Real shelf photos and today's specials - Bookmark a place to get a live 5% pass at the counter - Shopkeepers post in seconds with Snap & post - A Shopkeepers' Council to suggest and vote on features ## Questions ### How do I get 5% off?
