Owners: List Your Café for Free
Listing your café, bar or restaurant is free: appear on the map, announce the matches you show, and receive bookings.
What it changes on match night
A fan looking for somewhere to watch a match doesn't walk the neighborhood anymore: they open a map. If your venue isn't on it, they'll go to the one next door — not because it's better, but because it's there.
Listing a café, bar or restaurant on CaféMatch is free. The venue appears on the CaféMatch map, announces the matches it's showing and receives bookings from fans.
What you need to sign up
- The venue's name, city and address.
- What you actually offer: number of screens, projector, terrace, air conditioning, wifi, whether you welcome families. These are exactly the criteria fans compare before choosing.
- The matches you plan to show. This is the most important field: it's what pushes your venue up the list on the night the fixture is played.
Sign-up happens from the CaféMatch homepage, under "Do you run a café, bar or restaurant?" A free account is required.
Announcing matches is where it all happens
A complete but silent listing brings nothing on derby night. Announcing a fixture means showing up in the results of everyone searching for it — and they're all searching at the same time, in the hour before kickoff.
The biggest fixtures — derbies, Atlas Lions matches, finals — are also the ones where fans book their table: better to receive those requests than watch them go elsewhere.
Three mistakes that cost you customers
- A listing with no amenities filled in. Between two venues, a fan picks the one they know something about.
- Announcing nothing on big-match nights. That's exactly the moment the searching happens.
- Ignoring reviews. A reply beats silence, including — especially — when the comment is harsh.
What it costs: sign-up is free, and so is the listing, announcing matches and receiving bookings.
Reviews, atmosphere, what comes next
Fans rate the atmosphere and leave reviews. That's what the next ones read, and it's what tips the balance between two venues that look equal on paper. To understand the rest of what the app does, the About CaféMatch page explains it in detail.
Frequently asked questions
Does listing my café on CaféMatch cost anything?
No, signing up is free: the venue appears on the map, announces the matches it shows and receives bookings at no charge.
How do I list my venue?
From the CaféMatch homepage, under "Do you run a café, bar or restaurant?" You'll need a free account, then fill in the name, city, address and amenities. Once the venue is verified, you can announce the matches you're showing.
Do I need to announce every match I show?
That's the whole point. A venue that announces a fixture shows up for every fan searching for it that night; a listing that announces nothing stays invisible exactly when the search happens.
