How do I run a Morning Membership?

A Morning Membership gives a strong coffee habit a proper home: the same drink, every weekday morning.

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. Weekday coffee. In What members get, press Weekly & monthly offers. Choose Same every time, then Free item, with “a regular hot drink”. Under When it repeats, set Repeat every to 1 week, with only your weekdays picked under Repeat on. Under How long they have, choose Custom… and 1 day.
6. The Friday pastry. Press Add another standing offer, choose Free item, “a pastry”, repeating weekly on Fridays only, with Custom… and 1 day. Press Save.
7. Alternative milk. Press Club perks in the menu, then Add a perk, with a Heading such as “No charge for oat or other alternative milks”. Press Done, then Save.
8. A size upgrade. Open Weekly & monthly offers in the menu again, then press Add another standing offer, choose Free item, “a free size upgrade”, repeating weekly on your chosen weekday, with Custom… and 1 day. Press Save.
9. Early-release bake alerts. Open Club perks in the menu again, then press Add a perk, with a Heading such as “Hear first about limited morning bakes”. Press Done, then Save. Send the actual news from Broadcasts → Write something.
10. A guest coffee day. Open Weekly & monthly offers in the menu again, then press Add another standing offer, choose Free item, with “a coffee for a friend”. Under When it repeats, set Repeat every to 1 month, choose Specific weekday, then First and your day. Custom… 1 day. Press Save.

What members get

A hot drink every weekday morning, a Friday pastry, a size upgrade on their chosen day, free alternative milk, first word on limited bakes, and one coffee a month for a friend. 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: the coffee, pastry, size upgrade and any guest coffee show ready to give when due. If payment hasn’t gone through, you’ll see Membership paused. Alternative milk and bake alerts are Club perks, listed under Club perks when you scan — don’t charge for the milk.

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.
