Cinema Club

Restaurant cinema partnership ideas: a focused membership idea for restaurants looking to build local partnerships, with benefits shaped around the audience, trading period or occasion rather than a generic loyalty scheme.

The idea

A cinema ticket creates a natural before-or-after occasion for somewhere nearby. That makes Cinema Club less about 'loyalty' and more about relevance. Give the right people something they genuinely value, keep the proposition easy to understand, and use it to support build local partnerships. The best version should feel like the venue understands this particular crowd rather than simply offering everybody the same deal.

How it works

Set the club up in Flub and invite guests to join through a QR code or link. Members get their own membership page, where you can bring together offers, benefits and simple member-only perks, plus a digital membership card they can keep in their Apple or Google Wallet. In the venue, members can check in whether they’re redeeming something or not. When there is an offer to use, redemption is simple and controlled, so staff can handle it without complicated processes or new systems to learn. The club doesn’t have to stay the same either. Add new perks, change offers, try something seasonal or reshape the whole proposition as you learn what works. You can even run multiple clubs for the same brand, giving you room to experiment with different audiences, ideas and reasons to join. And whenever you want to reach members, you can broadcast through push notifications, SMS or email — to the whole club or to specific groups of people. That might be an offer, an announcement, an event, a last-minute table or simply a message you want your members to see.

Best for

Restaurants looking to build local partnerships, especially independents that want a club proposition staff can explain quickly and guests can understand immediately.
