Dote for venues

Couples are planning dates at your place

Dote is the date-idea app couples use to save the places they want to go, pick one together and keep the memory. Claim, insights and deals are free while Dote grows.

Why it matters

  • They've already chosen you

    When a couple saves your place to their Date Jar, it's on their shortlist for a night out. Dote shows you how many do.

  • See what brings them

    Find out what couples save you for (a cosy night, a big night, a foodie treat) and how you rank in your town.

  • Give them a nudge

    Post an offer couples see right on your place in their Date Jar.

What it looks like

These are from our pretend demo venue, The Paper Heart Bistro. Its numbers are made up, to show you the layout.

  • Dote for Venues on a phone: insights for The Paper Heart Bistro, with counts of couples who saved, both loved, planned and went, a weekly chart and the town rank. The demo venue's example numbers.
    Insights for your place
  • Dote for Venues on a phone: the form for a new deal, with a title, details, the days it runs and start and end dates, and a Send for a quick check button.
    Posting a deal

Claim and insights: free

  • Claim your place on Dote.
  • Couples who saved it, both ❤️'d it, planned a date there and went, over 30 days, 90 days or 12 months.
  • A weekly trend, your rank in your town this month, and the kinds of dates couples save you for.

Deals: free while Dote grows

Post up to three deals at a time. Each one gets a quick check from us, then shows on your place in couples' Date Jars, labelled as a deal from you. Couples who've saved you can get a nudge when you post one, if they've switched it on.

Claim, insights and deals are free while Dote grows. If deals ever change, we'll email you a month before, and venues who joined early keep an Early price.

How claiming works

  1. Sign in with your email

    We email you a six-digit code. No password to remember.

  2. Find your place

    Search by name and town. Not on Dote yet? We'll look it up.

  3. Claim it

    If your email ends the same way as your website (say hello@thegannet.co.uk and thegannet.co.uk), it's yours straight away. Otherwise we check by hand, usually within a day or two.

Couples' privacy comes first

We never show you who. You see totals for your own place, and any number under 5 couples shows as “fewer than 5”, so nobody can be picked out. No names, no dates of single saves, nothing about one couple.

Questions venues ask

What does it cost?
Nothing. Claim, insights and deals are free while Dote grows.
Will it always be free?
Claiming your place and seeing insights will stay free. Deals are free while Dote grows; if that changes, we'll email you at least a month before, and venues who joined early keep an Early price for a year. Nothing changes without that notice.
Can I see who saved my place?
No. You see totals only, and anything under 5 couples shows as “fewer than 5”. Couples' privacy comes first.
How do you check a claim?
If your email ends the same way as your website (say hello@thegannet.co.uk for thegannet.co.uk), the claim is instant. If you use Gmail, Outlook or similar, that's fine too: we check by hand (say with a call to the venue) and email you either way.
Who checks the deals?
We do, Andrew and Nicole, before couples see them. A deal has to be real, honoured as written and true to your place.
My place isn't on Dote yet. Can I still claim it?
Yes. Search for it and we'll look it up on Google. Couples will start saving it as they find you.
