Membership Club — Staff Guide

How to redeem member benefits at your drive-in — and how you get paid.

You are paid in full.

My Local Drive-In reimburses your drive-in for every benefit a member redeems — free admissions, concession discounts, and fire-pit rates. You never absorb the cost. Honor the member's code without hesitation; the discount is covered.

What the membership is

The Membership Club is a seasonal pass sold through the My Local Drive-In directory app. Members buy a Weekly, Monthly, or Season pass (plus an optional Thursday fire-pit add-on) and redeem benefits at partnered drive-ins like yours.

  • Weekly ($25): one double feature each night, Fri–Sun.
  • Monthly ($45–$99): unlimited one-double-feature admission for the month, priority fire-pit rate, 5% off concessions.
  • Season ($199): unlimited admission all season (33 nights), $79 fire-pit rate on Thursday horror nights, skip the line, 10% off concessions.
  • Fire-pit add-on (+$49): $79 fire-pit rate on Thursday horror nights (monthly & season only).

How members identify themselves

Each member has a member code (an alphanumeric order code) and a Code128 barcode on their phone, shown in the My Local Drive-In app. They present this at the box office and concession stand.

On partnered drive-ins, the code is validated through your connected system — scan the barcode or enter the code to confirm the pass is active and within its valid dates.

For drive-in owners

You opt in by partnering with My Local Drive-In. Once partnered, your drive-in honors member codes and reports redemptions through your connected system. Concession discounts are reported through the redemption webhook so every discount is tracked and reimbursed.

Reimbursement: My Local Drive-In pays your drive-in the full value of all redeemed member benefits. Free admissions are settled at the standard gate price; concession discounts are settled at the discounted amount. Redemptions are logged automatically — no manual invoicing required.

For box office workers

  1. Ask the member for their member code or barcode (shown in their app).
  2. Scan or enter the code to validate the pass is active and in date.
  3. Grant one double-feature admission — free at the window. The member already paid My Local Drive-In.
  4. If the member has the fire-pit add-on and it's a Thursday horror night, apply the $79 fire-pit rate.
  5. If the system shows a paid reservation fee, it's collected in-app — no cash at the window.
  6. If a code is invalid or expired, charge normal admission and ask the guest to check their app.

Never turn an active member away — the admission is covered.

For concession workers

  1. Ask the member for their member code or barcode.
  2. Enter or scan the code in your POS to apply the discount.
  3. Monthly pass = 5% off the concession order. Season pass = 10% off.
  4. Complete the sale — the member pays the discounted total.

The discount is paid to you by My Local Drive-In. Apply it without hesitation, and make sure the redemption is logged so it's counted for reimbursement.

Thursday fire-pit nights

Members with the fire-pit add-on get the $79 fire-pit rate on Thursday horror nights (regularly $99). Validate the add-on on their pass, then apply the $79 rate. The $20 difference is reimbursed to your drive-in by My Local Drive-In.
