FOUNDING PARTNERS · LIVERMORE
FOUNDING COHORT FULL · WAITLIST OPEN
A members-only beverage community that sends regulars to your house on the nights you want to fill. You get an agreed rate for every Pour, and everything else on the check rings at full menu price.
A table of four walks in at 6:45 on a Tuesday. They order food and a second round at full menu price. They take the section your manager was about to close and book a table for two Saturdays out. They leave already planning the next visit.
That is what DPC partners get on the slow nights. Members pay monthly to belong, and they show up because they chose you.
DPC pays you an agreed rate for each Pour a member redeems. Everything else on the check rings at full menu price and stays with you. Your menu never changes for any guest, and no one takes a percentage of your sales.
THE GUEST
Members pay DPC monthly to belong. They come in Sunday through Thursday, and before 4 PM on weekends, the hours you want to fill. They book ahead and bring guests. Four times a year a member can introduce someone new to your venue through The Introduction, a bonus Pour DPC covers, rung as a standard Pour, with you carding the guest at service.
THE ECONOMICS
DPC pays you an agreed rate for each Pour a member redeems, settled weekly by ACH. Everything else they order rings at full menu price and stays with you. Your menu never changes for any guest, and no one takes a percentage of your sales.
THE OPERATIONS
You set your own capacity caps and blackout windows. The app handles redemption verification, so there is no staff training burden. Editorial features and venue reporting are part of your Founding Partnership, plus optional Boost Missions to drive specific windows.
NO PUBLIC PROMOTION. NO PERCENTAGE OF YOUR SALES.
Members pay DPC monthly to belong, and they come in because they chose your venue. DPC pays you an agreed rate for each Pour a member redeems. Everything else on the check rings at full menu price and stays with you. Your menu never changes for any guest, and DPC never takes a percentage of your sales. Compare that to a coupon site that drops your price to the public and then bills you a percentage on top.
Staff checks the live confirmation screen on the member’s device after they tap to redeem, including that the venue name on the screen matches yours. The screen shows for 45 seconds. Screenshots and recordings are never accepted.
The name on the ID matches the member’s DPC account. This protects you and the member.
Ring the right Circle on every redemption so settlement is accurate.
You keep sole discretion to refuse service or decline a Pour for any lawful reason, consistent with your policy and the law.
App issues are handled by DPC support after the visit. Your team never processes a manual redemption.
DPC opens with a small group of Founding Partners. We bring on about one partner venue for every sixteen members, and the founding member class is capped at 200. We keep the founding cohort small on purpose, so every Founding Partner gets real volume from the first month instead of a thin slice spread across too many houses. The first venues to commit lock in Founding Partner status and founding pricing for the term. After the cohort fills, venues join a waitlist and come online as the member base grows.
FOUNDING PARTNER
$399 a month, billed annually at $4,788 for the year.
Plus a $149 activation fee.
The activation fee is paid when you sign the Partner Venue Agreement. The Founding Partner fee is billed annually and due July 1, 2026. Founding pricing is locked for the term, and Founding Partner status closes when the cohort fills.
That is the full founding cost. On top of it, DPC pays you an agreed rate for every Pour your members redeem, and everything else on the check rings at full menu price and stays with you. We walk through the agreed category rates and the full numbers on a 15-minute call.
FOUNDING COHORT FULL
The founding cohort is full.
Venues join the waitlist and come online at standard pricing as the member base grows. Founding pricing is closed.
