Turn your slowest nights into your busiest
Without buying a single ad. Greenlight gives your customers a reason to show up, stay longer, and come back. You get foot traffic, content, and regulars you can actually name.
Your customers get a little experience tied to your place
They take a photo, hang around a bit, maybe find a clue. When they finish, they unlock a reward from you: a free appetizer, a limited-edition tee, a skip-the-line pass, whatever you want to put up. That is the whole mechanic. What it produces is the part worth paying for.
Foot traffic
Quests pull people in and keep them there. Dwell time is a mechanic, not a bonus, so a customer who came for one drink stays for the third step.
Content you own
Every photo step is a real customer in your real space. No photographer, no shoot day, no licensing conversation.
Word of mouth
Experiences get told. Transactions get forgotten. A quest is the thing someone actually describes to a friend the next day.
Why it works
Three problems, one system
Greenlight is not a nice-to-have you cut when the month is tight. Each of these is a hole revenue leaks through, and each one has real machinery pointed at it.
Content supply
You need something to post every week, and a shoot day costs more than it gives back.
Your customers already have the camera and they are already in the room. A photo or video step turns an ordinary visit into an asset, and a bounty lets you commission the exact shot you had in mind. It all collects in one place, cleared for your own ads.

- Bountiesin build
- Media libraryin build
Repeat visits
Ads buy one-timers. You paid to meet someone once and never saw them again.
The second visit has to be worth more than the first. A loyalty card that cannot be left in a coat pocket, a prize board that resets every Monday, and a streak somebody does not want to break.
- Digital loyalty
- Weekly prizes
- Streaks and leaderboards
The action you actually want
You know exactly what you want customers to do. You have no way to ask without sounding desperate.
Name it and it becomes the thing they are playing for. Come in before ten. Order the special. Stay twenty minutes. Visit all three locations. Bring somebody who has never been. You set the terms, and finishing is its own reward.
- Time windows
- Dwell time
- Multi-stop tours
- Secret codes
Only 7% of people post on social media. The other 93% create content in Greenlight.
Because they are playing a game, not performing for followers. They upload the photo to finish the challenge. You get the asset. They get the reward. Nobody had to be brave enough to post.
That is content from the 93% an agency cannot reach.
What this looks like at your place
Most owners have never had to think up content before. You do not have to start from a blank page: pick your kind of room and see what other venues are running.
Two ways to get it. A quest your customers do for a reward you already give away, or a bounty you write and pay cash for.
Quest
No cash
The Whole Table
Anyone can play. You pay in the reward, not in dollars.
- 1Order something meant for sharing
- 2One photo of the table once it lands
- 3Stay forty-five minutes
Costs you a dessert
Bounty
You set the price
Three you could post today
Cheapest first, and the first one is the price of a sandwich. A file you keep, a collab that lands on both pages, or a post on theirs.
- Photo you keep$10
“One clean overhead of tonight's special, daylight, no flash”
- Collab post$110
“Your table, your night out, posted as a collab so it lands on our page too”
- Their account$150
“Bring three friends who have never been in, film the first ten minutes”
You see every submission before you pay, and you only pay for the ones you accept.
In build, founding partners first
You write the brief, you set the price
A quest brings you whatever your customers happen to shoot. A bounty is the other direction: you say exactly what you want, name what it pays, and creators near you decide whether to take it. You are charged when you publish, each person is paid only when you accept their work, and anything unspent comes back.
Paid posts have to say they are paid
When someone is paid to feature you, the law says the post has to disclose it, and the fines land on the business, not the creator. We require the platform’s own paid-partnership label and check it before anyone is paid. It is not a setting either of you can switch off, which is the point.

Questions owners ask
Do my customers need to learn something new?
No. They already check in at the places they go. A quest adds a reason to finish, not a new habit to teach.
What stops people sending me bad photos?
Four things. The brief lists what the shot has to include, and the creator ticks each one off before they can submit. You see every submission before any money moves. You only pay for the ones you accept, so a bad photo costs you nothing. And because everyone who meets the brief gets paid, up to the number you set, there is no reason to fire off ten bad attempts hoping one wins.
Who owns the photos customers upload?
You do. A licence is captured at submission, so the photo arrives in your library cleared for your own marketing.
How long does it take to set up a quest?
About twenty minutes for a first one. On Premium we write it with you.
What does it cost me to run?
Whatever you put up as the reward. Most venues start with something people brag about: a free appetizer or dessert, house merch, or a VIP perk like a reserved table.
