Franchise opportunity

Run trivia nights. Build a real business.

We hand you the platform, the questions and a brand people already turn up for. You bring the venue and the personality. Then you keep the room running.

The model

Low to start. Built to compound.

A small setup fee, the platform itself at no extra charge, and a share of what the nights bring in. We recommend spending on ads over the first months, while the room fills. If you already have an audience of your own, or your own channels, you may not need to. No surprises buried in the contract.

QED partner plan what's included
Onboarding one-time
An initial workshop, getting you set up on the platform, and your first set of questions.
€99 + VAT
Platform access included
One weekly night included, with every platform feature. Want to run more? We'll coordinate them with you. No monthly fee.
Question packs included
New content every week — 400+ packs already, each with 4 rounds of 10 questions, written by real humans and checked by both humans and AI.
Custom trophies & materials per set
Made-to-order trophies and event materials for your winners, priced per set. You print your own answer sheets.
Revenue share

You run the night. We share the upside.

A share of the tickets for your weekly nights, wherever they were sold, and a different share of sponsorships and private events. It comes down with the volume you do.

We give you the exact figures on the first call, and the full conditions in writing before you sign anything.

Everything else from the night is yours. We only grow when you do.

The full commercial terms are set out in the franchise agreement and in the pre-contract information we give you before you sign.

The opportunity
A full room of paying players. Every single week.

A paying crowd from a single weekly quiz, before the bar takings the venue keeps. Run more nights, add venues, and it stacks.

Who we are

Started by three friends who built a better quiz night.

Dmitry, Stu and Evgeny started Quiz Eat Drink in Valencia to build something more than a pub quiz: a room full of strangers who leave as friends, laughing over rounds they're still arguing about the next morning.

In March 2025 they partnered with Matt to launch Tardeo de Trivia, bringing that same idea to Spain and tying it to something people here already do well: long lunches, good food, and friends and family already gathered round the table. Come pull up a chair, whether you're there to win or just to argue about the answers.

Questions

The stuff franchisees ask.

Do I get exclusive rights to my area?

Yes. Each partner gets a protected 2.5km radius around their venue for the same day of the week: while yours is active, we won't sign another partner running a Quiz Eat Drink night that day inside that radius.

Tardeo de Trivia, our Spanish-language quiz brand, is a different product with a different audience and is run separately.

Can I run more than one city?
Yes, it's possible. Let's talk through the details when you apply.
Do I need experience hosting trivia nights?
No. Full onboarding and training are included. You bring the venues and the personality, we bring the platform, content and brand.
What happens to the ad spend over time?
We recommend it over the first months, while you build an audience, and it scales down with turnout after that. If you already have an audience of your own, or channels that work, you may not need it. Let's talk: our only goal is making the event a success, and we're on the same team.
