A Top Table Club sells access, not discounts: the value is getting the table everyone else wants.

## 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**](https://help.useflub.com/your-club/saving-changes.md) 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**](https://app.useflub.com/manage/go/how-people-join).
2. Under **Free or paid**, choose [**Paid membership**](https://help.useflub.com/your-club/start-charging-membership.md), 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?](https://help.useflub.com/getting-started/finish-setting-up.md)
5. **A priority booking window.** In [**What members get**](https://app.useflub.com/manage/go/what-members-get), press [**Club perks**](https://help.useflub.com/your-club/club-perks.md), then **Add a perk**, with a **Heading** such as "Earlier access to our busiest dates", and a **Link** or **Phone** call to action. Press **Done**.
6. **Preferred-table requests.** Press **Add a perk**, with a **Heading** such as "Priority handling when you ask for our best tables". Press **Done**.
7. **A welcome glass.** Press **Add a perk**, with a **Heading** such as "A welcome drink or alcohol-free alternative on your booking". Press **Done**.
8. **Special dinner first dibs.** Press **Add a perk**, with a **Heading** such as "Early access to guest-chef dinners, tasting menus and seasonal events". Press **Done**. Send the actual invite from [**Broadcasts → Write something**](https://app.useflub.com/manage/go/new-message).
9. **Cancellation priority.** Press **Add a perk**, with a **Heading** such as "Prime cancellations come to Top Table members first". Press **Done**, then **Save**. Send the actual offer from **Broadcasts → Write something** when a table frees up.

## What members get

Earlier access to busy dates, priority on requests for the best tables, a welcome drink on their booking, first word on special dinners, and first call on prime cancellations. 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

There's nothing to scan for redemption here — every benefit is a Club perk, listed under **Club perks** when you scan the member's pass. If payment hasn't gone through, you'll see **Membership paused**: hold booking priority back until it's sorted.

## How you'll know it's working

A paid club's [**Paid members**](https://help.useflub.com/getting-started/paid-members.md) page, under **How it's going**, shows what's coming in. **Members** shows each person's [**Membership status**](https://help.useflub.com/members/membership-status.md).
