How do I run a Graduation Club?

Local graduation dates cluster into a short season, so switch this one on while nearby schools and universities are graduating, and off again after.

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 graduation menu, with a welcome fizz. In Your club, under What members get, press Weekly & monthly offers. Choose Same every time, then Set price. In What they get, write “a fixed-price graduation menu for the table, with a welcome glass of fizz or alcohol-free alternative for the graduate”. Under When it repeats, set Repeat every to 1 week and pick every day you take bookings. Under How long they have, choose Custom… and 1 day. Press Save.
2. Family table priority. Press Club perks in the menu, then Add a perk, with a Heading such as “Earlier access to our bigger tables around local graduation dates”. Press Done.
3. Cake plating. Press Add a perk again, with a Heading such as “Bring a celebration cake — we’ll plate and serve it”. Press Done, then Save.

What members get

The graduation menu and welcome fizz through the season, a bigger table if they ask ahead, and cake plated and served if they bring one.

What your staff need to know

The standing offer shows ready to give on the pass. Both perks have nothing to redeem: hold a table for a graduation booking, and plate any cake that comes in.

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 your local graduation season ends — see How do I add, change or turn off an offer?
