Most workplace discount schemes offer money off things staff never actually buy — a gym they don't attend, a retailer they don't shop at. A discount coupon for a genuinely good local bar is a different story: it's something people will actually use, and remember using.
That's the thinking behind the corporate employee discount scheme we're building at Watson's.
The Idea In Plain Terms
Local businesses will be able to give staff a discount coupon redeemable at Watson's — whether that's tied to a specific employee appreciation day, rolled into an existing benefits platform, or just handed out as a one-off treat. The aim is to keep it simple on both ends: easy for a business to distribute, easy for staff to redeem without jumping through hoops.
A perk people actually use is worth more than a bigger discount nobody redeems.
Why A Bar Makes A Good Employee Perk
Cocktail bars sit in an unusual spot for workplace perks — genuinely appealing, but rarely offered as a formal scheme. A coupon for Watson's gives HR and office managers something to hand out that doesn't feel generic, and gives staff a reason to actually plan an evening out.
What's Confirmed So Far
Corporate offers now start at 20% off for registered Leicester businesses; the exact percentage, valid days and coupon format are agreed per company on the corporate offers page. The principle is simple: a straightforward scheme, open to Leicester businesses of any size, with no unnecessary admin on either side.
Registering Interest
If you're an HR or office manager interested in adding Watson's to your perks list, you don't need to wait for the full launch. Get in touch with your company name and rough team size, and you'll be among the first contacted once the scheme is ready. Full details are on our corporate employee discount page.
