The idea

Make the people working around you part of the club, not just the customers passing through. Give members something concrete rather than a vague promise: trader breakfast, second brew price, plus after-close drink. Together those benefits make the club easy for staff to talk about and easy for guests to understand. Behind it sits a very practical goal: build local partnerships. Market cafés, food halls and restaurants surrounded by independent traders.

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.
