Your guests have time to fill, and you have quiet nights to fill. The usual fixes don’t connect the two, so tables drift off once the plates are cleared, and guests who loved their visit leave with no reason to come back when you need them.
Guests sit through dead time, and the evening winds down before the second round, the dessert or the coffee.
January and midweek are empty, and a blanket promo cheapens your brand.
Paper vouchers get binned, and loyalty apps need downloads guests won’t bother with.
We know what a quiet Tuesday costs.
Hospitality runs on thin margins, and the slow days hit hardest. We built Clink to turn waiting time into play, play into longer stays, and longer stays into return visits, without an app, new hardware or another job for your staff.

Use case: Christmas
This Christmas, crack it virtually.
A branded virtual Christmas cracker for every table. Guests get the pull, the joke and the hat moment, plus a chance to win a January offer that fills your quietest month.
The pull
Two guests race to tap the pattern. First to finish pulls the cracker.
The joke and the hat
Every cracker has its joke and its paper-hat moment, in your branding.
The January offer
Some players win an offer for January, so your quietest month starts with a reason to come back.
Want more? Sketch and Guess, Word Hunt and Escape Room all have Christmas versions too.

More on the way
New games join the library through the year, with seasonal rotations for Chinese New Year and Eid.
Longer stays today. Repeat visits tomorrow.
Keep guests for longer
A game between courses or over a last coffee keeps the table going. A table that stays orders another round, a dessert or one more flat white.
Drive repeat visits
You choose the prizes, the odds and the redemption windows, so offers land on your quiet nights, not your busy ones.
Your brand, or your whole venue
Every game carries your logo, colours and tone. On the venue-themed tier, the content itself is about you: your dishes, your drinks, your local quirks.
Entertain the table
It keeps kids busy and gives groups something to do, without giving them another reason to scroll.
Measurable, not guesswork
Track plays, prizes issued and redemptions, and capture guest emails with consent.
Simple for staff
Redeem a discount code by scanning its QR. That’s the training.

✓The full game library in your logo, colours and tone
No. It’s played while guests wait, and redemption is a single staff scan.
Will guests spend more?
That’s the idea. Guests leave when the evening feels finished, and a quick game between courses or over a last drink keeps it going. A table that stays longer has more time to order another round, a dessert or a coffee. On a quiet night there’s no queue for the table, so a longer stay costs you nothing.
Can we control how much we give away?
Yes. You set prize frequency, value and expiry, plus a daily limit.
Is it only for Christmas?
No. There are five games so far: Christmas Cracker, Sketch and Guess, Word Hunt, Escape Room and Sink the Fleet. All but the cracker work any time of year, and the library keeps growing.
What’s the difference between the tiers?
Branded styles our games in your look. Venue-themed writes the game content around your venue, so jokes, questions and prompts reference your menu, location and personality.
Do guests have to buy something to play?
No. Play is always free. Prizes are a treat, not a condition.
Is it suitable for kids?
Yes. The games are family-friendly, and only adults can claim a prize or give an email.
Who owns the email list?
You do. Guests opt in to hear from your venue, and you can export the list at any time.
Does it work with my till?
It doesn’t need to. There’s no integration required.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Clink is monthly, with no contract.
Do guests need an app?
No. It runs in the phone browser from a QR scan.
Will it slow down service?
No. It’s played while guests wait, and redemption is a single staff scan.
