How do I run a University Staff Club?

University staff are a large local audience who rarely get spoken to as one — a University Staff Club gives you a direct way in. 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 staff. Share your join link where staff will see it — department newsletters, a staffroom noticeboard — rather than posting it publicly.
2. Campus lunch price. Press Flat ongoing benefit in the menu. Choose Set price. In What they get, write your chosen lunch dish. In What they pay, enter your member price. Under When it can be used, press Add limits, choose Weekdays, then Save limits and Save.
3. Coffee between lectures. Press Weekly & monthly offers in the menu. Choose Same every time, then Set price for a regular hot drink. 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. Add daytime hours.
4. Friday wind-down. Press Add another standing offer, choose Same every time, then Set price for a wine, beer or alcohol-free drink, repeating every week with only Friday picked, and afternoon hours. Press Save.
5. Department table. Press Club perks in the menu, then Add a perk. Write a Heading such as “Priority booking for larger team lunches”, and add “Show a staff card with your pass” to the Line. Press Done, then Save.

What members get

Their lunch at member price on weekdays, a cheaper coffee between lectures, a Friday afternoon drink at club price, and priority booking for team lunch tables.

What your staff need to know

Scan the pass and ask to see a staff card alongside it. Lunch, coffee and the Friday drink each show ready in their own windows. The department table is a Club perk, listed under Club perks when you scan — nothing to redeem.

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.
