A remote drink order looks small on paper — one redemption, one 25-cent platform fee. But the venues that get the most out of NextRoundOn.me aren't just counting redemptions. They're counting the visits that come after.
The order that starts a relationship
Someone's coworker, sibling, or old college friend sends them a drink at your bar. Maybe they've never been in before. When they walk in to redeem that QR code, that's the first impression — and it's already a warmer one than a cold walk-in, because someone specifically chose your venue for them.
Why the second visit matters more than the first
The redeemed drink is the hook. What happens at the bar is what turns it into a regular. A recipient who has a good experience redeeming their gifted drink is far more likely to come back on their own — and to order more than just the one drink that was sent.
Menu placement drives what gets sent
Bars on the Growth and Pro plans get featured directory placement, which increases the chances your venue is the one selected when someone searches for a bar near their friend. Keeping your live menu current — swapping in seasonal drinks, keeping availability accurate — also makes your listing more attractive to browse.
It costs nothing to find out
Because there's no commission on drink sales — just a flat per-drink platform fee — there's no real downside to listing your full menu and seeing what gets ordered. Every redemption is pure upside: a paid drink, plus a new or returning customer walking through the door to collect it.
Getting started
Every bar is paid out automatically via Stripe Connect by default — just link a bank account. Already running Clover, Square, or Shift4? Connecting one of those instead takes minutes — see the Integrations page for setup details, or the For Bars page for a full rundown of plans and features.
