For Chicago venues

First dates, delivered to your venue.

String drives every match toward a confirmed date at a venue. Venue partnerships are our entire revenue model, so sending you guests isn't a side feature. It's the business.

Why partner

Our model only works if yours does.

Guests with intent

Matches expire, so there's a reason to lock in a time rather than let it sit. Every date on the calendar is two people who already agreed when they're showing up, not a coupon someone might get around to using.

Your slow hours

Set the windows you want filled, like weeknight evenings or early seatings, and String routes dates to exactly those times.

Repeat business

A great first date becomes "their spot." Couples come back on their own time, and bring friends with them.

Brand presence

Partner venues carry String presence on-site, including matchbook-style cards at checkout or entry. It's placement that lands exactly where your guests already are.

How it works for you

Free listing. Paid placement.

We charge for placement, not performance. String makes money from venues choosing to be seen.

Pricing

Three ways in.

Base
Free

No opt-in required. Your venue appears in date recommendations from our own data: name, address, and type.

Featured
$250 / month

Your own photos and description. Priority placement in recommendations. Choose which time windows you want filled.

Premium
$400 / month

Everything in Featured, plus on-site presence (matchbook-style cards, printed signage), co-marketing, and a quarterly walkthrough of your numbers with a rep.

Every tier keeps the same promise: you pay for placement.
