How do I run a Office Lunch Club?

An Office Lunch Club becomes the lunch place an office stops having to think about.

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 lunch and a drink. In What members get, press Weekly & monthly offers. Choose Same every time, then Free item, with “a lunch item and a soft 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. A premium dish upgrade. Press Add another standing offer, choose Same every time, then Set price, with “an upgrade to a premium dish” and your small supplement price. Tick your weekdays under When it repeats.
7. The Friday sweet. Press Add another standing offer, choose Free item, “a cookie or brownie”, repeating weekly on Fridays only, with Custom… and 1 day. Press Save.
8. A fast collection window. Press Club perks in the menu, then Add a perk, with a Heading such as “A marked quick collection window during the lunch rush”. Press Done, then Save.

What members get

A lunch item and a drink every weekday, a fixed price to upgrade to a premium dish, a sweet treat every Friday, and a fast collection window. 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 lunch, drink, any upgrade and the Friday sweet show ready to give when due. If payment hasn’t gone through, you’ll see Membership paused. The collection window is a Club perk, 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.
