Monthly memberships for bars
Turn The After-Work Crowd Into A Monthly Membership.
The people in every Thursday are the ones paying your rent. Give them a membership and take their month in one payment instead of one round at a time.
£0 setup · £0 monthly fee · 7% of each payment, or £1 if that’s more

Between the first round and the last
A good Thursday pays for a dead Monday. You find out which it is at seven.
A small bar lives on a handful of people who are in every week and a room that is empty until they arrive. A membership is the difference between hoping they come and knowing what the month holds before it starts.
The regulars who make the room pay the same as somebody passing through.
Nothing is known about who is in except what the till remembers.
A quiet week can’t be planned for, only absorbed.

How it works
How Monthlygo works for bars.
- 01
Set what a membership covers
A number of drinks a month, and what they can be. A cocktail can use more of the month than a house pour, and a daily cap comes as standard.
- 02
Code on the back bar
People read it while they wait, and can be a member while you’re making the first one.
- 03
Scan when you serve
They show a code, you scan it, and it says what is covered. Anything past it goes through the till as usual.
- 04
Paid before the month starts
One payment a month into your own Stripe account, on the same date every time.

An illustration, not a forecast: it assumes every membership is paid in full each month. You set your own prices, and nobody is guaranteed to join.

What your regulars see
One code, and the first one’s already paid for.
Members see what is left this month before they get to the bar, and a members’ price on everything past it.
- A cocktail can use two of the month where a beer uses one — you set the rates
- Every plan carries a daily cap, so a month can’t go in a night
- Members’ prices apply after the allowance runs out, not instead of it
For the business
What changes when your regulars pay monthly.
The month, before it starts
Takings banked whether Thursday lands or not.
Your regulars, named
Who is in every week, and what they drink.
A reason to come back
A membership beats a stamp card nobody carries.
Your own account
Paid into your Stripe account, not held by us.
What a plan can cover
- House pour
- Cocktail
- Beer
- Glass of wine
- Soft drink
Each can use a different share of the month, so a longer drink can count as two.
Questions
What bars ask us.
No, and deliberately. Monthlygo won’t build one for a bar: a plan is a set number of drinks with a cap on how many can go in a day. A membership should give somebody a reason to come back, not a reason to stay.
Your regulars already come back.
Put what they already buy on a monthly plan, like 4 cocktails for £40 a month, and get paid before they walk in.
