How do I run a Winter Club?

Lean into the dark nights and the fact nobody wants to cook. Switch these on for winter and off again when the clocks go forward.

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 winter warmer. In Your club, under What members get, press Weekly & monthly offers. Choose Same every time, then % off: type a percentage in Percentage and “a mulled, hot or seasonal drink” in On. Under When it repeats, set Repeat every to 1 week and pick every day you open. Under How long they have, choose Custom… and 1 day.
2. The pie and pint deal. Press Add another standing offer. Choose Same every time, then Set price: write “a hearty main and a selected drink” in What they get and your club price in What they pay.
3. Sunday hot pudding. Press Add another standing offer again. Choose Same every time, then % off, with a percentage in Percentage and “a selected hot dessert” in On, repeating every week with only Su ticked. Press Save.
4. Fireplace table priority. Press Club perks in the menu, then Add a perk, with a Heading such as “First call on our cosiest tables”. Press Done, then Save.

What members get

The winter warmer and pie-and-pint deal every day, a reduced hot pudding on Sundays, and priority on the tables by the fire.

What your staff need to know

All three standing offers show ready to give on the days you’ve picked. Table priority is a Club perk with nothing to redeem: hold the good seats when a member asks.

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 winter’s over — see How do I add, change or turn off an offer?
