Mobile Event Engagement Platform with QR-based Check-in, Payment, and Data Analytics for Nightlife Venues

Nightlife venues often rely on promoters or event agencies to attract customers, with limited access to customer data or personalization capabilities. Existing systems do not seamlessly integrate QR-based check-ins, payments, or real-time engagement, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities for targeted marketing and customer relationship management, especially in markets with distinct digital usage patterns and restrictions.

A large chain of nightlife venues seeking to enhance customer engagement, streamline operations, and gather user data through a mobile platform.

• Integrate QR-based payment systems for seamless transactions at venue points of sale.
• Provide venue staff with tools to check-in customers and record attendance data in real-time.
• Collect and analyze user data to enable personalized marketing and customer engagement.
• Design the system to be culturally and contextually adapted to specific regional digital behaviors and restrictions, including alternative notification and map services.
• Ensure the platform is scalable to support high volumes of users and venue locations.
