How do I run a Garden Club?

Make the garden feel like somewhere members have a small claim on, for as long as it’s open.

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 garden pint price. In Your club, under What members get, press Weekly & monthly offers. Choose Same every time, then % off: type a percentage in Percentage and “a selected draught drink in the garden” in On. Under When it repeats, set Repeat every to 1 week and pick every day you open the garden. Under How long they have, choose Custom… and 1 day.
2. The outdoor snack board. Press Add another standing offer. Choose Same every time, then Set price on a sharing snack board, on the same schedule. Press Save.
3. Garden table first dibs. Press Club perks in the menu, then Add a perk, with a Heading such as “Earlier access to our bookable outdoor tables”. Press Done, then Save.
4. Sunny Friday alerts. On a good day, open Broadcasts → Write something to tell members about garden events, DJs or extra outside capacity.

What members get

A club price on a garden pint and a sharing snack board all season, first access to outdoor tables, and a message when the weather’s worth making the most of.

What your staff need to know

Both standing offers show ready to give while the season’s switched on. Table first dibs is a Club perk with nothing to redeem: send the actual weather alerts yourself.

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 the garden season ends — see How do I add, change or turn off an offer?
