Breakfast & lunch meetings
The weekly fixture. A capped room, a member rate, a guest rate, and covers the venue can rely on.
Run every chapter from one hub, charge members and guests properly, keep subscriptions renewing without chasing, and show each member the referrals and revenue their membership actually returned. Built for networking group owners, chapter leaders and the people who show up.
What you can run
A free online coffee morning and a four-hundred-seat awards night are the same job underneath: sell the place, know who is coming, get everyone there.
The weekly fixture. A capped room, a member rate, a guest rate, and covers the venue can rely on.
Free or paid. The joining link goes out on booking and again before it starts, without you sending it.
No venue, no covers, still a head count. Free to join, capped at whatever the walk can carry.
Tables, guests of members, sponsors on the night. Sold and seated on one list rather than three.
Take exhibitor stands and sponsor packages alongside the delegate places, on one attendee list.
Masterminds, 1-2-1 rounds and training your members get included. Closed to the public, open to the list.
How a group runs
Set the groups up, price members and guests apart, keep the subscriptions renewing, prove the referrals are real, then count everyone in.
One chapter or twenty, each with its own calendar, its own members and its own room. You see the whole network on one dashboard — attendance, churn, revenue per group — and a member sees the one they belong to.
The member rate is the reason people join, so it has to hold. Whoever is booking gets checked against your member list at the point of sale — not by a code that ends up in a WhatsApp group — and a lapsed member sees the guest price the day their subscription runs out.
Membership is the revenue the group actually runs on, and it leaks one forgotten renewal at a time. Packages are set once, collected on the date, and a subscription that lapses changes what that person pays at the next meeting — without anyone having to be the bad guy.
Renewal season is an argument about value, and it is much shorter when the member can see the number. Referrals passed, 1-2-1s booked and business won are logged against the person who did it — replacing the scattered spreadsheets with one figure they can check themselves.
Everyone confirms in a click, and anyone still silent gets chased automatically the night before. On the day you check them in against the same list, so the covers you gave the venue are the covers that sit down — and the member who has not been for two months shows up as a number rather than a feeling.
The rest of the toolkit
The parts nobody mentions when they start a group, and the parts that decide whether it is still running in three years.
Every Thursday, first Tuesday of the month, or a term of eight. Set the pattern once and the whole calendar is live, instead of rebuilding the same event fifty times a year.
Members find each other by trade and by area, book a 1-2-1 without swapping six messages, and the meeting is logged against both of them.
Message the whole network, one chapter, or only the people who still have not confirmed — from the same place, through the branded mobile app your members already have.
Bring a sponsor onto a chapter, an awards night or the annual conference and give them the billing they were promised — on the listing, in the pack and in the room.
Breakfast, a table of eight for the awards, a stand at the expo or a speaker slot. Offer them while the member is already paying rather than emailing round afterwards.
Every meeting is marked as in-person or online and filtered that way on the hub, so someone looking for a virtual coffee never books a breakfast two hundred miles away.
