The opportunity

The exact crowd every venue wishes it had.

Sweet Other members are identity-verified and here for something real — not a swipe and a no-show. They actually show up, because a no-show costs them their standing — and they arrive on purpose, often in pairs and small groups, and they come back.

Being the neighborhood's official Sweet Other host is its own draw — and it fills the nights that usually sit empty.

Skin in the game

One honest commitment.

Partnering is free — no membership fee, no commission. The one thing we ask is that you cover your Founding Kit: the materials that turn your space into the neighborhood’s official host.

Founding Kit · one-time

Priced to cover production and seed your launch night — we don’t profit on it. It’s also how we know a venue is serious about hosting.

What’s inside
  • A framed Founding Venue plaque
  • Window decals + table tents
  • QR coasters for every table
  • Co-branded launch-night assets
  • Featured placement in the app

A small, honest cost keeps us partnering with venues that genuinely want to host — not ones just curious to list.

Questions venues ask

The details, up front.

What is the venue partnership?
You become a Founding Venue in your neighborhood: you help publicize Sweet Other to your patrons, and you host vetted, verified-local nights — including the in-person founding-member night once your neighborhood has the momentum for it.
What do you ask us to do?
Help spread the word (a QR table tent, an "official Sweet Other host" mention, the occasional post to your social or email), and host founding and recurring nights for verified members.
What do we get?
Founding Venue status and featured placement, our help filling slow nights with verified locals, co-marketed launch nights, and a live dashboard. You list free and pay just 15% on the bookings we drive (optional Host/Partner tiers add reach).
Does it cost us anything?
Listing is free, and we earn a 15% commission only on bookings we actually drive to you — nothing otherwise. Optional Host ($99/mo) and Partner ($299/mo) tiers add featured placement and events. The one upfront item is your Founding Kit ($149) — plaque, decals, table tents and QR materials — priced at break-even, and it’s how we know a venue is serious about hosting.
Why would our patrons care?
Because Sweet Other is verified and relationship-minded — a refreshing alternative to swipe apps. Being the neighborhood's official host is a draw, and the events bring in exactly the kind of crowd you want.
How do we get credited for signups and bookings?
You get a unique venue QR and link. Signups and bookings that come through it are attributed to you, and your dashboard shows the members you've driven and your rev-share.
What is a founding-member night?
A co-branded event we run with you once your neighborhood has the momentum for it — verified locals meeting in person for the first time. The area is already live online (audio rooms + one-on-one intros); this is the in-person kickoff, and it fills a slow night.
Can a venue earn equity?
For anchor venues that demonstrably drive signups, we may offer a small, milestone-based equity grant — the same founding instrument our ambassadors use. It's optional and reviewed with counsel.
How do we apply?
