You bring the vibe. We run the till.

Get paid, properly

A paid night on LMTW runs on real ticketing, not IOUs. Guests book and pay through Stripe Checkout, receipts land instantly, and your share of every ticket is yours from the moment it sells. The club’s commission is 20% as standard — and it only goes down: 15% at Silver, 10% at Gold as you host more. No subscription, no listing fee, no “organizer plan”. If the night is free, the till never opens.

When you want the money, ask for it. Payouts are on request, settled by bank transfer within 1 business day — not a monthly batch you wait for, not a minimum you chase. The wider earnings picture, including the Denz Coin rewards the club pays for unpaid club nights, is on get paid to host.

Know who’s paid and when

The Captain’s Office keeps a payments register for every night: each guest, what they paid, when they paid it, and how — a cash-priced ticket or Denz Coins. Refund status sits on the same line, so “did she get her money back?” is a glance, not an email thread.

Come reconciliation, the register is the truth: every ticket ties to a Stripe receipt, every payout ties back to the nights that earned it. The club processes refunds itself, so a refunded ticket never reaches your payout and you never play debt collector.

Run the night end-to-end

The toolkit doesn’t stop at the money. On the night you get a door list with attendance marking — names, paid status, and who’s actually walked in. Broadcasts reach your confirmed crew in one message: the venue reveal, the rain plan, “we’re at the table by the window”.

After the night, the per-night P&L closes the loop: ticket revenue, your share, expenses with receipts attached, and a CSV export for whoever does your books. Changes to a paid night go through club approval, so a sold ticket is never silently moved. The craft of the room itself — arrivals, introductions, the close — is taught free in the Captain Academy.

The room fills itself

LMTW is a members’ club, and membership is what fills your seats. Members buy credit packs — 50 credits for $25 — and spend them on nights out; a get-together runs about 12 credits. On paid nights they book a ticket instead. Either way, a booking has a price and a no-show has consequences, so the headcount you see is the headcount you get.

That’s the structural difference from the platforms you’re probably using now: Meetup charges organizers a monthly fee and leaves the seat-filling to you; we charge nothing and fill the seats by matching members into your night. The honest side-by-side is here: LMTW vs Meetup.

Where you’ll be hosting

The US club is founding now — first crews forming in New York, Los Angeles, Austin, Chicago and Miami. Founding Captains run the first paid nights as each city fills, with the Australian playbook already proven behind them. If you’ve ever wanted to be the one who started it in your city, this is that moment.
