Build Community. Run Leagues. Keep It Easy on Staff.

Local Link Leagues (L3) is built from a service-industry perspective. We know that every event, promotion, or "new idea" can add friction to a shift if it's not designed carefully. Our goal is simple:

Help venues build recurring, welcoming communities — without adding operational burden to front-of-house staff.

Local Link Leagues empowers venues to host leagues, casual play, and community game nights in a way that feels natural, low-stress, and aligned with your existing flow.

A Better Way to Run Game Nights

The Old Way

  • Paper sign-ups and Facebook DMs
  • Staff tracking scores and managing disputes
  • Manual promotion validation
  • Extra pressure on front-of-house

The Local Link Way

  • Players self-organize and log their own games
  • Disputes handled inside the platform
  • Promotions validated automatically
  • Zero staff training required

Your team focuses on hospitality. L3 handles the rest.

What L3 Does for Your Venue

Flexible Play

Leagues, casual games, tournaments, beginner nights. Game-agnostic and format-flexible — host whatever fits your venue.

Promotions Built In

Visit-based and game-based rewards. POS integration with Square, Toast, and Clover. No staff tracking required.

Simple Setup

QR codes or NFC tags for check-in. Table tents and signage provided. Onboarding handled for you.

Actionable Insights

Games played, repeat visits, engagement trends. Context like weather and events coming soon to help you understand why a night worked.

Community Comes First

L3 is designed to foster welcoming, beginner-friendly play. Over time, that opens the door to cross-venue leagues, brewery-vs-brewery events, and city-wide tournaments.

We're starting with one venue and scaling carefully — intentionally building a healthy, connected community across the Twin Cities and beyond.

Venue FAQs

How much staff time does this require?

Very little.

Staff do not log games, manage players, validate promotions, or resolve disputes unless they want to. Local Link is designed to reduce staff involvement, not increase it.

Do staff need to explain the system to players?

No.

Players check in themselves and are guided through the experience in the app. Clear signage and simple flows handle most questions automatically.

How are player disputes handled?

Disputes are handled inside the platform:

  • Games are immutable once logged
  • Each player can submit notes if a dispute occurs
  • Resolution can be handled by:
    • Local Link, or
    • The venue (your choice)

Staff are never required to intervene.

What if players argue or things get competitive?

Local Link is intentionally designed to avoid hyper-competitive behavior.

Defaults emphasize respectful, beginner-friendly play. Visibility and participation are always opt-in, and disputes never happen at the bar.

Do we need special equipment or hardware?

No.

Local Link uses simple QR codes or NFC tags. Setup is minimal and handled with you during onboarding.

How do promotions work?

Promotions can be triggered by:

  • Visits (check-ins)
  • Games played
  • League participation

Where supported, rewards can be pushed directly into your POS or loyalty system so staff don't have to do anything extra.

Is this for leagues only, or casual play too?

Both.

Local Link supports:

  • Casual "just hanging out and playing"
  • Structured leagues
  • One-night tournaments or events

You decide what fits your venue.

What does it cost?

Pricing is designed to be straightforward and venue-friendly.

We're happy to walk through options based on your goals and level of involvement.

Why start with just one venue?

We believe in building this carefully and intentionally.

Starting small lets us refine the experience, protect venue culture, and ensure the platform truly supports staff and players before scaling.
