For venues
Why offer a Shared Table?
This scheme is designed to support businesses too. By participating, you can:
1. Play your part in building community in your area, and strengthen your links with local customers
2. Bring in extra customers, especially during quieter times of the day
3. Make better use of the space you already have through customers sharing tables
What would my venue do?
-
Choose a regular drop-in time (which we'll list on our website)
-
Set aside a suitable table during the drop-in time
-
Display the supplied sign on the table so people know where to sit to join in
-
Make sure staff know what it means
-
Continue applying normal customer and behaviour policies
Staff are not expected to host conversations, introduce participants or provide support. Just make participants feel welcome as you would with any other customers.
