For venues
Give your guests a reason to remember each other.
GateMate gives DFW venues a self-serve check-in page, live guest counts, and a lightweight community layer that turns one-time visitors into repeat regulars who bring friends. Zero staff lift — no hardware, no POS integration, no staff training, nothing for your team to manage. Guests simply scan a GateLink QR card at the door.
For venues & operators
Why the best DFW venues say yes.
You already have a POS, a ticketing platform and reservations. GateMate isn't replacing any of that — it's the real-time networking layer that turns tonight's atmosphere into next month's repeat revenue.
Zero install
No hardware. No POS integration. No staff training.
Your GateLink is a code and a QR poster. Set it once, it lives at the door. You keep your reservations, ticketing and POS exactly as they are.
New customers
Every check-in becomes a marketing event.
When a guest checks in and makes new friends at your venue, their whole crew now knows your name. GateMate turns tonight's crowd into next week's return visit.
Repeat visits
Squads come back. And they come back together.
People who make real friends at your venue treat it like their spot. We measure a metric no POS gives you: how many groups that formed here returned within 30 days.
Measurable metrics
A dashboard your POS will never give you.
Check-ins per event · Return-with-squad rate · Groups formed · Peak-hour crowd overlap. Real signals about atmosphere, not just receipts.
See the return visits your POS can't currently see.
Your POS counts individuals. GateMate counts groups that formed at your venue and came back together. Estimates below use a 25–40% squad-return rate and an average squad size of 3 — actual numbers show live in your dashboard as your GateLinks run.

*Revenue your POS attributes to "walk-in" or "unknown" — because POSes see individual receipts, not the group that formed here last week and returned tonight.
