Turn Your Nights Out Into Club Funding

Cyan Bar & Lounge has launched a Club & Community Partnership Program for local clubs, schools, associations and community groups across Mentone and the Bayside area. Every time your members spend at Cyan, your group earns — no extra cost, no complicated packages, no strings attached. Just locals supporting locals.

How it works 

Your members come in, enjoy the venue, and your group earns from every dollar they spend.

It’s that simple.

Every verified transaction your members make at Cyan contributes to your group’s quarterly total. We track it, tally it, and pay it back — in cash and in function credit.

3% back in cash. Paid directly to your club or organisation each quarter.

3% back in Cyan Credit. Banked for a major event at Cyan — presentation night, end-of-season celebration, awards night, you name it.

Combined $5,000 annual cap per club. Year-round, not just season.

Who can sign up

Anyone 18+ in your club community can sign up and link their spend to your group — players, parents, partners, ex-players, supporters, neighbours, friends of the club, sponsor businesses’ staff. Every dollar they spend at Cyan flows back to your club.

What Counts as Eligible Spend

Your group earns from:

  • Bar and beverage purchases
  • Food (eat-in or takeaway)
  • Group tabs and booked functions

 

Private member functions count too. If one of your members books a private function at Cyan — a 30th, engagement, milestone celebration — and tells us in advance they’re with your club, that function’s entire spend flows into your club’s pool.

We honour all standard venue promotions at the time of purchase — happy hour, food specials, bottomless brunch and any other active offers. There are no inflated prices under this program.

Not included: Uber Eats and third-party delivery orders, ticketed band entry or event ticket sales.

What It Can Add Up To

Even simple, regular visits build real value for your club.

Here’s an example:

20 members × $50 spend = $1,000 in eligible spend

That generates $30 cash back to your club plus $30 in Cyan Credit toward your next big event — every single quarter that your members keep showing up. A steady year with a wider supporter base lands $2–3k cash for the club without anyone doing anything they wouldn’t normally do.

Over a full year, that starts to become something meaningful.

Who Can Apply

This program is open to:

  • Sports clubs (soccer, netball, footy, cricket — any code)
  • Schools and education groups
  • Community organisations and associations
  • Social groups and recreational clubs
  • Workplace and corporate groups

How We Track It

When you join, Cyan supplies your group with printed Club Cards stamped with your unique partner code. Members present the card at the bar at the start of every transaction and Cyan logs the spend manually to your pool.

A Cyan App is in development. Once it’s live, members will scan via their phone instead of carrying the card – your accrued pool continues uninterrupted. We make no warranty on launch timing; the printed card runs until further notice. 

  • Card or club code must be presented at the start of the transaction
  • Spend cannot be added retrospectively
  • All verified transactions tallied monthly, benefits paid quarterly

What Cyan Asks in Return

This is a reciprocal partnership — which means it works best when both sides show up for each other.

We ask that your group:

  • Promotes Cyan as a preferred local venue for member social events
  • Shares Cyan’s weekly What’s On posts, events and specials with your members
  • Encourages members to follow Cyan on Facebook and Instagram
  • Encourages members to join the Cyan newsletter or website list

The more your members engage with Cyan, the more your group earns. It really is a two-way street.

A Bit About Cyan

Cyan Bar & Lounge is a locally owned, independently run venue in Mentone. Owner Simone Sandwith took on an older site and completely rebuilt it from the ground up — and it’s now one of the most versatile social venues on the Bayside.

Two levels. Three bars. The biggest dance floor in Mentone. Live music, DJs, salsa nights, sport on the TVs, food, drinks and a morning coffee cart — all under one roof.

The focus from day one has been on creating a genuine local hub. A place people come back to week after week, not just for one-off occasions. That’s exactly the kind of venue a community partnership should be built around.

Additional Perks for Partner Clubs

On top of the cash back and function credit, Cyan can also provide partner clubs with:

  • Gift vouchers to use as raffle prizes
  • Giveaways for volunteers, athletes and hardworking members
  • Thank-you rewards for your club community

Just something extra to say thanks for the support.

Ready to Get Started?

Getting set up is easy and costs your club nothing.

All we need is your club logo and a contact person to liaise with. We’ll organise everything at Cyan’s expense and get your Club Cards sorted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a cost to join?

No. Joining the program is completely free for your club or organisation.

When do we receive our cash back?

Benefits are calculated monthly and issued quarterly.

Can the function credit be used for cash?

No. Cyan Credit is not redeemable for cash. It’s spent at Cyan against a function booking with 50 or more attendees. Credit accrues in rolling 6-month cycles from the date your club joins, with a 60-day grace period after each cycle ends to book and use it. We list what’s expiring in every quarterly statement.

What if a member forgets their Club Card?

Unfortunately transactions can’t be added retrospectively. Members need to present their card or club code at the start of each transaction for it to count.

Can we still take advantage of happy hour and specials?

Absolutely. All standard venue promotions apply. No extra discounts are offered under the program, but all normal specials count toward your eligible spend.

Is the program available year-round?

Yes. The partnership runs ongoing — not just during your sporting season. Members can earn for your club through casual visits, functions, coffee cart purchases and more, all year long.

How do we promote Cyan to our members?

We’ll provide you with content to share — event posts, weekly What’s On updates and any current promotions. It only takes a few minutes a week to keep the partnership ticking along.

Will the deal change?

Each year on the anniversary of when your club joins, we sit down and check the rates, cap and eligible spend are still working for both sides. Any change comes with at least 30 days’ written notice before the anniversary, so you’ve got long lead time to plan around it. Either side can leave with 30 days’ notice. That’s what keeps the partnership sustainable for years rather than being a one-year arrangement.

What happens to our members’ personal information?

Members’ personal info is never shared with your club, other clubs, or any third party. Your club only ever sees aggregate, de-identified numbers (e.g. “63 of your members are signed up”) — never names or contact details. Members are only contacted via channels they opt into.
