How do I run a Post-Theatre Club?

When the curtain comes down, the night doesn’t have to end — a Post-Theatre Club keeps the bar part of the evening. 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. Late kitchen menu. Press Flat ongoing benefit in the menu. Choose Set price. In What they get, write your short late menu. In What they pay, enter your member price. Under When it can be used, press Add limits and set From to after your dinner rush. Press Save limits, then Save.
2. Curtain-down drink. Press Weekly & monthly offers in the menu. Choose Same every time, then Set price for a selected cocktail, wine or alcohol-free serve. Under When it repeats, set Repeat every to 1 week and pick every day you’re open. Under How long they have, choose Custom… and 1 day, with the same late hours.
3. Dessert after dark. Press Add another standing offer, choose Same every time, then Set price for a dessert-and-drink pairing, on the same schedule. Press Save.
4. Last table alerts. Press Club perks in the menu, then Add a perk. Write a Heading such as “We’ll message you when a late table opens up”. Press Done, then Save. When one does, open Broadcasts → Write something and choose Just a message.

What members get

The late menu at member price after dinner service, a member-price drink and a dessert pairing in the same late window, and a message the moment a late table opens up.

What your staff need to know

Scan the pass: the menu, drink and dessert all show ready in your late hours. The table-alert promise is a Club perk, listed under Club perks when you scan — send the actual message from Broadcasts when a table’s free.

How you’ll know it’s working

Open a card on What members get and press See how this is doing for how many used it this month. Check Broadcasts → Sent to see how many each last-table message was sent to.
