Leisure franchise · No experience needed
Run trivia nights. Build a real business.
We hand you the platform, the questions and the brand. You bring the room and the personality.
€99 + VAT setup · No monthly fee · Nothing to pay until you sign
The model
Low to start. Built to compound.
You have a venue
You fill your quietest weeknight with people who eat and drink while they play, and the bar stays yours.
You run events
No venue of your own: you find the rooms, agree the deal with each one and run the night.
Revenue share
You run the night. We share the upside.
A share of your nights' tickets, wherever they were sold, and a different share of sponsorships and private events. It comes down with volume.
The rest is yours: the bar and kitchen if the venue is yours, or whatever you agree with the venue if not.
The exact figures on the first call. Every term in writing before you sign.
The deal
We bring the machine. You bring the room.

Questions
What people ask before they start.
How much do I need to invest to start?
€99 + VAT onboarding, no monthly fee, and nothing to pay until you sign. Beyond that you need a laptop that runs Chrome and printed answer sheets; the venue usually has the screen and sound. No fit-out, no expensive kit. Ads over the first months come on top, and we size them with you.
How much can I earn?
It depends on how many players fill the room, the ticket price (you set it) and how many nights a week you run. Ticket money goes into your own Stripe account, and we invoice you for our share monthly, after the fact. On the call we run the numbers for your city.
Do I need my own venue?
No. You can run it in bars you don't own, and the deal with each one is yours to strike: a fee, a cut of the bar, or simply filling a quiet night for them. Their licence does need to cover ticketed events. No venue yet? Say so in the form and we'll help you find one.
Do I need experience? Do I have to host it myself?
Neither. Onboarding includes an online workshop, scripts and training for whoever will host: you or someone on your team. What counts is consistency, a night every week, run with energy. And through your first nights, we stay close.
How long is the contract? What if it doesn't work out?
We walk you through the length, the renewal and how to leave on the first call. Then you get it all in writing in the pre-contract document, 20 business days before signing, so you can go through it calmly (or with your adviser) with nothing signed or paid.
Do I get exclusivity in my area?
Yes. Each venue you run gets a protected 2.5 km radius on its night of the week: while it stays active, we won't sign anyone else for a Quiz Eat Drink night that day inside it. Spanish-language quizzes (a separate product) and the private events we sell ourselves sit outside it: if one lands near you, we tell you and, if it fits, offer it to you to host, paid.
Do I have to spend on ads?
It's strongly recommended over the first months, while the room fills. You set the budget and we run the campaigns: you see the spend and the results at all times, and we pause them when a night sells out. If you already have an audience or channels that work, we scale it down or drop it.
Do I need to be self-employed (autónomo) or have a company?
Not necessarily you: a company can sign (yours or a partner's), or the venue itself. Whoever signs takes the ticket money into their own Stripe account and invoices it, so they need to be able to invoice. If someone has to register, there's time in the 20 business days before signing.
Can I run more than one venue, or more than one city?
Yes. You start with one venue and, once it runs steadily, you add more, in your city or another. Each new venue gets its own protected radius. On the call we'll tell you what the first one needs to hit before you add the next.
Can I run it in Spanish too?
In principle, yes. The Spanish-language format is Tardeo de Trivia, a separate company, so it would be two contracts, one with each. If you're interested, mention it in the form.
Just want a one-off event?
We also run trivia for companies and celebrations, no strings attached.
