GateMate for Business — Venues
A full room, and proof it was full.
Every guest who scans your door poster steps into your room, sees who's here, and connects — and you see how the night went.
How it works.
Step 1
Put up your door QR
A permanent poster at the door. Guests scan it on the way in — no download pitch needed at the rope.
Step 2
Guests step in and connect
Every guest who scans steps into your room, sees who's here, and connects with the people actually inside tonight.
Step 3
You see the night
Check-ins, unique guests, repeat guests — proof the room was full, and how the night went.
What you get.
On Live Now, with a checked door
People nearby see your room is live — and only guests at your location can step in.
Standing weekly nights
Recurring nights with a permanent door QR and a printable poster. Set it once.
Host seats for your team
Your staff and promoters open rooms under your venue's name.
Rooms up to 24 hours
From doors-open to last call — and the after-hours crowd too.
Your house look
Your look on every room, plus a one-line "tonight" message.
Perks that mean something
Perks unlock only when two guests actually connect — never for just showing up.
Dashboard + morning recap
A venue dashboard and a recap with the night's numbers after every night.
Venue pricing
Nothing to buy — yet.
Founding Venues: free while we open Dallas–Fort Worth. Venue tools are how we onboard venues while GateMate opens city by city — if a paid tier ever launches, we'll tell you the number before we ever ask for it.

Venue questions, answered.
What happens to my guests' data?+
Guests own their own connections. We share aggregate patterns with your venue (check-ins, groups formed, return-with-squad rate), never individual profiles. Rooms are ephemeral, so the guest list fades gracefully after the event. Full detail lives in our Privacy Policy.
How long does venue setup actually take?+
About 15 minutes. We generate your venue's check-in code, send you a printable QR poster for the door, and share a private link to your live dashboard. No POS integration, no hardware install, no staff training. You could be live at the door tonight.
How do venues pay?+
They don't — Founding Venues are free while we open Dallas–Fort Worth; there's nothing to buy yet. If a paid venue tier ever launches, you'll hear the number long before we ask for it.
Are there other apps doing this?+
There are consumer apps for meeting people at events (Radiate, EventBuddie, Friendstival, ConcertBuddy) and POS analytics platforms for venues (SevenRooms, OpenTable Reporting, Bloom Intelligence). None of them do both — GateMate is the only layer that gives venues group-behavior data while giving attendees the actual social experience. Our full comparison is on the For Venues section.
What if it flops? Am I locked in?+
Zero contract. Zero commitment. If your door QR doesn't drive measurable impact after the first month, you turn it off and we part ways as friends. We prove value before you owe us anything.
