“I've seen a lot of messy DIY openings in my day. After our first event with Offline I said ‘this is what we’re doing for every location from now on.’ Everything was so smooth.”
so, how much does it cost?
Offline is 100% funded by our Members and free forever for businesses.
We get it. Cash is tight when opening a new restaurant. You don't pay to work with us—our Members pay to be part of our club.
This gives us the unique flexibility to create a win for you, a win for us, and a win for our Members.
“Our event with Offline was well worth the exposure. We saw an increase of around $4k from the weekend prior. We think the event went a long way in spreading the word about East Bower.”
don't take our word for it
Ok, we're done pitching ourselves—we'll let some of our partners take it from here.
Don't hesitate to ping them for their unfiltered take.
