How do I run a Chefs' Club?

A Chefs’ Club gives local kitchen staff somewhere to eat and drink once their own service is done. You build it in Your club, under What members get.

Set it up

Anything the menu marks Off shows Switched off when you open it: press Switch on and set it up (on a phone, + Add more lists them). Changes wait for Save in the bar at the bottom of the page, or at the top right of an offer’s full-screen editor on a phone.

1. The chef’s glass. Press Flat ongoing benefit in the menu. Choose Set price, write “a selected wine or beer” in What they get and your industry price in What they pay. Under When it can be used, add evening-hours limits, then Save limits and Save.
2. The late plate. Press Weekly & monthly offers in the menu. Choose Same every time, then Set price, with “a simple late dish” and your price. Under When it repeats, set Repeat every to 1 week and tick every day you open. Add limits for the hours after your kitchen closes. Under How long they have, choose Custom… and 1 day.
3. The Monday supper table. Press Add another standing offer, choose Same every time, then Set price for a communal supper. Repeat every week on M only, with Custom… and 1 day. Press Save.
4. Producer tasting invites. Press Club perks in the menu, then Add a perk with a Heading such as “Priority invites to supplier and tasting events”. Press Done, then Save. When one comes up, open Broadcasts → Write something to tell members.

What members get

A fixed price on a glass every evening, a late plate once the kitchen’s shut, a Monday supper table, and first word on tastings and producer events.

What your staff need to know

Scan the member’s pass: the glass and, where it’s on, the late plate show ready to give. The tasting invite is a Club perk, listed under Club perks — nothing to redeem there.

How you’ll know it’s working

Each card on What members get shows how many members claimed it this month. Open a card and press See how this is doing for more.
