How do I run a December Club?

Make December’s quieter weekdays worth a visit, switch the offers on when the month starts, and off again once it’s over.

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 December locals’ menu. In Your club, under What members get, press Weekly & monthly offers. Choose Same every time, then Set price, and write your fixed-price menu in What they get. Under When it repeats, set Repeat every to 1 week and tick your weekdays. Under How long they have, choose Custom… and 1 day.
2. The festive drink price. Press Add another standing offer. Choose Same every time, then % off, with a percentage in Percentage and “a mulled, sparkling or alcohol-free serve” in On, repeating every day you open. Press Save.
3. Last-minute table alerts. Press Club perks in the menu, then Add a perk, with a Heading such as “We’ll message you if a table opens up in December”. Press Done, then Save.
4. The Twixmas special. Between Christmas and New Year, open Broadcasts → Write something, choose Something to claim, then Pick or make an offer → Make a new offer. Write a simple food-and-drink offer with Until set to 2 January, and press Create and attach.

What members get

The locals’ menu on your quieter weekdays, the festive drink price every day, a message if a table opens up, and a Twixmas special for the days after Christmas.

What your staff need to know

Both standing offers show ready to give on the days you’ve picked. Table alerts are a Club perk with nothing to redeem: message members yourself from Broadcasts when something opens up.

How you’ll know it’s working

The Weekly & monthly offers card shows how many of its offers were claimed this month. Turn its switch off once December’s over — see How do I add, change or turn off an offer?
