Saigon Scene Premium · for partner venues

Your quiet hours, filled.

We send our members through your door, prove every visit, and make you the first place people see in your part of town.

Sound familiar?

What owners tell us, over and over

Monday to Wednesday, 5pm, the room is empty.
Staff are on, the lights are on, the rent is the same. First Table sends members into exactly that window.
I boost posts and have no idea if anyone came.
Likes are not customers. Every Scene Pass visit is confirmed with your PIN, so you see real people, not reach.
New people in town don’t know we exist.
Expats and visitors search Google, ChatGPT and our guides. Premium puts you first in your area and category.
Our happy hour is great. Nobody knows about it.
Our happy-hour map is the one people check before heading out. Premium venues are featured first.
We need more Google reviews.
Happy customers forget. A free NFC review card on the counter turns a tap of a phone into a review.
I don’t have time to make content.
We do it. We film your reel, write your feature and post it on our channels.

The PIN

Every visit, counted. No app, no scanner, no training day.

Live at every Saigon Scene partner. Your staff keep a 4-digit PIN behind the bar. That is the whole setup.

  1. Member taps “Use offer”

    They get a live code on their phone that lasts 10 minutes.

  2. They hand the phone over

    A standee on your table or counter tells them what to do, in English and Vietnamese.

  3. Staff type your PIN

    The offer is applied and the visit is logged against your venue.

It is the difference between “we think it’s working” and knowing how many members came this month, and how many were there for the first time.

What Premium gives you

Everything we do, pointed at your venue

Every partner gets a listing, a map pin and the PIN. Premium venues also get the following, and each one is there for a reason.

  • Highlighted in our guides

    Premium partners are the venues we highlight in the guides they fit, such as Things to do in Thảo Điền, always marked as partners.

    Why Guides are where people decide where to go, and where AI answers send them.

  • Featured first

    Shown above other partners in your area and category on the partner lists, the happy-hour map, the app and the email.

    Why Most people pick from the first three they see.

  • A reel made for you

    Olly films your venue and we post it on Saigon Scene. One when you join, then one each quarter.

    Why Video shows the room, the food and the crowd better than a menu ever will.

  • First TableYour quiet hours

    A members-only deal for your first tables, 5pm to 6:30pm, on the nights you choose, with a cap you set.

    Why It fills the hour you are already paying staff for, and a busy room pulls in walk-ins.

  • Featured happy hours

    Your happy hour at the top of our live happy-hour map and pages, with hours we check and mark verified.

    Why People open the map with a drink in mind and 20 minutes to decide.

  • Push notificationsWith the next app release

    Tell members nearby, and people who saved you, about a new menu, a party or tonight’s offer.

    Why It reaches people when they are deciding where to go, not scrolling past.

  • Free NFC Google review card

    A card for your counter. Customers tap it with their phone and land straight on your Google review page.

    Why More reviews means higher on Google Maps, which is where visitors look first.

  • Your own feature article

    A proper article about your venue on saigon-scene.com, marked as a partner feature.

    Why Our guides already show up on Google. Your feature rides on that and keeps working for years.

  • Your data, your link

    A private page with your visits, new against regular customers, busiest times and where people found you. A report lands on the 1st of each month.

    Why You can see what is working, and so can we.

  • A slot in the email and on What’s On

    Your event or offer in our email to members and subscribers, and at the top of What’s On.

    Why It goes to people who asked to hear where to go.

  • Make a Scene with us

    Every month we hold a Scene Night at a Premium partner. We bring our members, our readers and our crowd, and you host.

    Why A room full of new faces who might become regulars.

  • Google and AI search check

    Our sister agency, Saigon Digital, checks how you show up on Google Maps, Google search, ChatGPT and Gemini, and tells you what to fix.

    Why More and more people ask AI where to eat in Thảo Điền.

  • English and Vietnamese

    Your listing and feature in both languages, plus a Premium window sticker and a staff card for your team.

    Why Your staff need to know the PIN inside out, and half your customers read Vietnamese first.

Questions

Before you ask

Does my free partner listing change?

No. Your venue page, your place in our guides where you fit, your happy hour on the map and the PIN stay free, as they are today.

Can I pay for a better review?

No. Premium partners are highlighted in our guides and lists, and always marked as partners. What we say about the food, the drinks and the room is our own opinion and is not for sale.

How do I pay?

We send an invoice each month with a QR code, and you pay by bank transfer. Yearly is one invoice for 12 months.

How long am I tied in?

Monthly Premium runs month to month. You can stop any time with 30 days’ notice. Yearly is paid up front for 12 months.

How many Premium venues do you take?

A few per area and category. Featured placement only means something if it is not sold to everybody.

What if it is not sending me people?

Your data page will show it, and we will change what we are doing. If it still is not working, stop.
