Cold Brew Community

A set of discounts and bonuses on every Rockoly event you book, for $100 a year. Members get:

• 5% cash back credit on every event, and the credit you earn never expires.
• No express fees on food deliveries, and no international delivery fees at all.
• 5% off gift add-ons such as personalized aprons, cocktail shakers and paella pans.
• Priority scheduling, which means first call on peak dates.
• Complimentary event upgrades on select menus, plus 2 free guest passes whenever you book 20 or more paid participants.
• Access to member-only events, seasonal previews and new menu tastings.

All of it applies to virtual, in-person and hybrid events alike.

About $2,000 of events a year, on the cash back alone. At 5% credit per booking, a single $2,000 event returns the $100 you paid for the year. Everything after that is upside: more cash back, 5% off add-ons, no express delivery fees and no international delivery fees, which is where the numbers move fastest if you ship kits to teammates outside the US. Book more than one event a year and the fee stops being the number worth thinking about.

Time instead of heat. Iced coffee is brewed hot and then chilled, while cold brew never meets hot water at all — coarse grounds steep in cold or room-temperature water for roughly 12 to 24 hours. Heat pulls acidic and bitter compounds out of coffee quickly, so leaving it out gives a cup that tastes rounder and softer even when it's strong. Kyoto-style slow drip pushes the idea further, letting cold water fall through the grounds one drop at a time for hours. It's the same instinct behind a good no-alcohol option at a team happy hour: real flavor, nothing anyone has to apologize for drinking. Rockoly accommodates no-alcohol setups at no extra cost.

On the total cost of each eligible event, before taxes and fees. The mechanics are short:

1. You book. 5% of the event total is posted to your Rockoly account as credit.
2. The balance is tracked for you, so there is nothing to claim or keep receipts for.
3. You ask your planner to apply it on a later booking and it comes off the total.

A $2,000 event puts $100 in the account, ready whenever you want it.

More than the invoice suggests, because neither shows up on it. Both are things the membership adds to the event itself.

An event upgrade is a chef-led bonus segment on a menu that would otherwise cost extra to add: fresh tortilla making alongside Mexican Street Tacos, naan making with Tikka Masala, a sushi styling challenge, premium garnish kits on a happy hour, and a rotating set of seasonal additions. On a 30-person event that is a real line item you are simply not paying.

Guest passes are two free places, ingredient kits included, on any booking of 20 or more paid participants. On a typical per-person rate, two free places can be worth more than the membership costs on a single booking.

The credit never expires: it has no expiry date and no minimum, so you can spend it next month or in three years — just tell your planner to apply it when you book. The membership itself is $100 a year, charged on the same date each year, and you can stop it whenever you like by emailing events@rockoly.com; it then runs to the end of the year you have paid for. The perks don't distinguish between formats either: a hands-on cooking class in your office earns and spends credit exactly like a virtual happy hour, and priority scheduling covers both.

Only the guest passes, and that threshold is 20 or more paid participants. Everything else applies at any size. Rockoly runs groups from 3 people to 600 and up, and cash back is a percentage rather than a threshold, so a six-person event simply posts a smaller amount of credit — and with no minimum balance to spend it against, that credit is still there on the next booking. If anything, a small distributed team gets more out of the delivery side than a large co-located one does: no express fees on food deliveries and no international delivery fees at all is worth most when the awkward part of your booking is getting two kits overseas rather than thirty across one city. Very large groups are usually split by department or across a couple of days, and the membership applies to every one of those sessions.

Email events@rockoly.com or call (617) 939-9732 and mention the Cold Brew Community, and we'll confirm the rate and set the membership up for you. If you'd like to read the standard membership terms first, they're on the Rockoly Membership page. You don't need an event on the books to join, but if you already have one in mind, joining first means that booking earns cash back too. Cooking events want about three weeks of lead time and happy hours about four, so start the conversation before you settle on a date. Every Rockoly event is covered by the Love Your Event Guarantee: if it doesn't live up to expectations, we'll make it right.
