How do I run a Student Club?

A Student Club gives local students one simple reason to make you their regular cheap-and-cheerful spot. 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. Keep it to students. Share your join link near campus — the students’ union, course group chats, freshers’ fairs — rather than posting it everywhere.
2. Show a student ID. Press Club perks in the menu, then Add a perk. Write a Heading such as “Members show a student ID with their pass”. Press Done, then Save.
3. Student meal price. Press Flat ongoing benefit in the menu. Choose Set price. In What they get, write your chosen filling meal. In What they pay, enter your member price. Press Save.
4. Study coffee. Press Weekly & monthly offers in the menu. Choose Same every time, then Set price, for a regular hot drink at a reduced price. 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. Under When it can be used, add daytime hours.
5. The Thursday drink. Press Add another standing offer, choose Same every time, then Set price for your chosen drink, repeating every week with only Thursday picked, and Custom… and 1 day. Press Save.
6. The exam-season snack. Add one more standing offer for a simple late food item at a reduced price.
7. Keep the snack to exam weeks. Leave the Weekly & monthly offers switch on, because it turns every schedule on or off together. Instead, press Weekly & monthly offers in the menu, then Schedule 3 at the bottom of the page to open the snack’s own page. Use the switch at the top: off now, on when revision starts, off again once exams finish.

What members get

The meal at member price on any visit, a cheaper coffee during the day, a discounted drink every Thursday, and a late snack during exam weeks when you’ve switched it on.

What your staff need to know

Scan the pass and ask to see a student ID alongside it. The meal, coffee and Thursday drink each show ready to give in their own window; the exam snack only appears while its schedule is switched on.

How you’ll know it’s working

Open an offer from the menu, then press the link at the bottom of its page to see how many were used. Each weekly offer has its own link, Schedule 1 to Schedule 3.
