Fans eat out every day.
Not just on game day.
A coffee on the way to work, a weekday lunch, dinner before the game. Partner with the clubs your customers support and put your deals in front of their fans on the days you choose.
Pay-for-performance, start to finish
The opportunity
Fans have to eat somewhere. Be their regular.
Supporters don’t stop eating between fixtures, and on game day the whole plan bends around the start time. Every meal out is a choice about whose door they walk through.
On Game Set Engage, a club can introduce your café, pub or restaurant to its fans. You can ask any club on the platform, in any sport and any country: the side down the road, or the club your customers grew up supporting before they moved here. Each club approves you for itself.
Your name and your offer appear inside the club’s check-in campaigns you join, in the app fans open for their club. On game days, clubs can make a check-in at your place worth more points than one from anywhere else, and each club sets its own values.
Your own deals, any day
Game day fills your tables. Your deals can fill the rest of the week.
A café needs its mornings and a restaurant needs its midweek covers. Once a club approves your partnership, you can publish your own deals for the days you pick. By default the club approves each one, and then its fans can find them in the Game Set Engage app, game or no game.

Pick your days
Once a club approves your partnership, publish a standing offer to its fans. Choose the days of the week it runs, and add start and end dates if you want them. Pause it or change it whenever you like.
The club’s fans see it
Your offer is listed under Deals near you in the Game Set Engage app, for fans around your business who share their location. It stays listed for its whole date range, greyed out on the days it doesn’t run. Fans who follow the club claim it when they walk in.

Confirm it when they walk in
The fan shows a QR code; you confirm it in the Game Set Engage Venues app. You pay the club’s fee only for redemptions you’ve confirmed, and the club can add points on top.
Deal ideas
- Tuesday set menu
- Free pastry with a coffee before 10am
- Sunday roast for two
Example screens with made-up businesses. Each club approves your offers before they go live, and again when you change or resume one, unless it has switched approval off.
Why cafés, pubs & restaurants win
More reasons to visit than the fixture list.
Pre-game dining
Groups eat before evening fixtures and weekend games. A table booked at yours before the game often stays for it.
Meetups and celebrations
Clubs run more than games: supporters’ meetups, end-of-season parties, charity days. A partner café or restaurant can be one of the places fans check in for those, with your offer attached.
Your quiet days
A standing Tuesday set menu or a free pastry with a morning coffee, running on the days you choose, fills the hours that are usually your emptiest.
Fans of clubs from elsewhere
Expats and students often support a team from another city or country. Partner with that club and you can become the place its fans meet up.
Your offer, your rules
Offers that turn fans into regulars.
There are two kinds of deal. One sits next to your name in each club check-in campaign you join. The other is a standing offer of your own, on the days you choose, which the club approves before it goes live. What works for cafés, pubs and restaurants:
Coffee and a pastry
A free pastry with a morning coffee turns a one-off visit into part of someone’s routine.
Game day menu
A themed set menu for the fixture turns dinner into an occasion.
Group booking discounts
Reward the friend who organises. A table of eight fans beats eight sofas.
Midweek regulars
A free starter or dessert on your quietest night keeps the same faces coming back between games.
Getting started
Your part takes under an hour. Then it’s each club’s call.

Ask clubs to partner
You're active once you sign up, so you can browse every club on the platform and ask straight away. Each club's team decides for itself.
Partner & set your offer
Join a club's check-in campaigns and choose the deal fans see next to your name. Add standing offers for the days you choose.
Confirm visits
A fan at your table or counter shows a QR code in their app, for a check-in or an offer, and you approve it in yours. You only pay for visits you've confirmed.
Different kind of business?
The partnership fits more than food and drink.
Sports bars
Big games for the home side and for clubs from far away, plus your own deals on the quiet nights.

Common questions from cafés, pubs & restaurants.
There are no setup fees, no monthly subscription and no minimum. You pay a fee, set by each club, for every check-in and offer redemption you confirm at your place. If no fans come in, you pay nothing. Game Set Engage sends you one invoice a month.
No. There’s no screen, licence or broadcast requirement. A café that never shows a game can partner with a club and run deals for its fans. Check-ins and offer claims happen in person. The fan shows a QR code at your counter and your staff confirm it.
No. Game days are busy, but most of your trade happens on ordinary days. Once a club approves your partnership, you can run standing offers on the days you choose, like a Tuesday set menu or a free pastry with a morning coffee. By default the club approves each offer before it goes live, and fans who follow the club can find it in the Game Set Engage app.
No. Fans check in from their own phones: at your place they show you a QR code in the Game Set Engage app, and you approve it in the Game Set Engage Venues app. No tablets, no till integration, no special equipment.
Yes, and they don’t have to be in your town. Partner with the clubs your customers follow at home, and with one from another country whose supporters fill your tables on big nights. A London pub can partner with a club from Istanbul if that’s who its regulars support. Each club approves you separately.
That’s up to you. Popular offers include 10–20% off the bill, a free starter or dessert, a free pastry with a coffee, 2-for-1 drinks, or a game day set menu. Set a deal for each club check-in campaign you join, or run standing offers on the weekdays you choose.
Your dashboard shows confirmed check-ins by day, your busiest hours, how each campaign and offer is doing, and how many different fans came in through your partnerships.
