How WatchSoccer.Bar works for your bar

A plain-English walkthrough of the program: a red/yellow penalty card, a country flag offer tied to a $48+ food or beverage order, a live neighborhood guide, and QR tracking so you can see what it does. No app, no contracts to decode. Here is the whole picture.

The website

Two sides, one job each: the red side is the offer your staff redeems; the yellow side is the local guide. Both carry a QR code that opens WatchSoccer.Bar. This mockup's code links to the live site.

  2. 2Give one available country flag.
  3. 3Mark the "Flag Claimed" box on the card.
  4. 4Add one mark to the daily redemption sheet.
When handing out cards
“Planning to watch soccer this summer? Take one of these and scan it for local bars and match times. Bring it back with a $48+ food or beverage order and you can get a country flag while supplies last.”
When redeeming
“Great! With a $48+ food or beverage order, you can pick one available country flag to take home. I’ll mark the card.”

The flag goes home as a keepsake and the QR guide stays live all summer, so it keeps working as word of mouth.

Good to know

Common questions

We already show soccer, so why join?+

Exactly why it fits. The question is whether fans know that before they pick a bar. The guide helps you get found earlier and gives people a concrete reason to choose you.

Is this just another website listing?+

No. The listing connects to a physical card, a QR code, a country flag giveaway, and a $48+ in-bar redemption. The point is moving people from awareness to a visit.

Is it hard for staff?+

No. Staff confirm a $48+ food or beverage order, give one available flag, and mark the card. We provide the staff instructions.

What if we run out of flags?+

The offer says "while supplies last," so running out is fine, and it shows demand. Reorders are available in 48-flag sets.

Can we choose which country flags we get?+

Starter kits include a mixed set; specific country availability can vary. If a particular fan base matters to your bar, we can plan reorders around it.

Can we use official tournament names or logos?+

No. This is intentionally an independent local soccer-viewing guide. We use generic soccer, country-flag, and neighborhood language so nothing implies an official association.

Participating venues remain responsible for their own broadcast arrangements, public-viewing requirements, alcohol and food promotion compliance, staff training, and flag inventory.
