How do I run a Bottomless Club?

A Bottomless Club gives regular brunch guests a better way to do it often, without turning the whole venue into a discount scheme.

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. Open Your club, then Settings, then How people join.
2. Under Free or paid, choose Paid membership, then press Switch to paid.
3. Under How do members pay?, choose Just monthly. Pick your fee under What’s the monthly fee?, or press Something else to type your own. Choose whether Do new members get a free trial?, then press Save price.
4. Connect Stripe on the same page, so members can pay you. See How do I launch my club?
5. The monthly bottomless sitting. In What members get, press Weekly & monthly offers. Choose Same every time, then Free item, with “a bottomless brunch sitting”. Under When it repeats, set Repeat every to 1 month, choose Specific weekday, then First and Saturday. Under How long they have, choose Custom… and 30 days. Press Save.
6. The subscriber brunch price. Press Flat ongoing benefit in the menu. Choose Set price, with “a dish from our brunch menu” in What they get and your price in What they pay. Press Save.
7. The premium drink upgrade. Open Weekly & monthly offers in the menu again, then press Add another standing offer, choose Same every time, then Set price, with “an upgrade to a premium drink” and your supplement price. Tick every day you open under When it repeats, and Custom… 1 day. Press Save.
8. Priority booking. Press Club perks in the menu, then Add a perk, with a Heading such as “Book bottomless sittings before anyone else”, and a Link or Phone call to action. Press Done.
9. A guest rate. Press Add a perk, with a Heading such as “Bring a guest at your member rate — just tell us when you book”. Press Done, then Save.

What members get

A monthly bottomless sitting, a member price on brunch dishes, a fixed price to upgrade their drink, plus priority booking and a rate they can pass to a guest. If your club already has members, they stay in, free, with everything they get today. The fee is for people who join from now on.

What your staff need to know

Scan the member’s pass for the sitting and the drink upgrade; the brunch price applies every visit. If payment hasn’t gone through, you’ll see Membership paused. Booking priority and the guest rate are Club perks, listed under Club perks when you scan.

How you’ll know it’s working

A paid club’s Paid members page, under How it’s going, shows what’s coming in. Members shows each person’s Membership status.
