Checkin is an Australian company with two sides: software that runs hospitality venues, and an app that helps people find what's on near them right now.
For venues, Checkin Places puts the whole front of house in one dashboard. Each venue gets its own mobile-first website at check-in.au, which the team edits themselves in minutes. Guests book a table from that page, and staff manage the night on an iPad floor view built for a busy service, with pacing controls and booking confirmations. The same page takes online orders for pickup, and guests at the table can scan a QR code to order and pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay. Venues can also sell gift vouchers and tickets to their own events.
Checkin never holds a venue's money, there is no sign-up fee, and venues choose only the products they need.
For people, the Checkin app shows what's happening nearby and who's there: the trivia starting in ten minutes, the gig down the road, the happy hour that just kicked off. You can book a table, buy a ticket or join a Circle, a small recurring community like a wine club or a Sunday run group. Circle hosts set their own price and keep what they earn.
Checkin was founded in Sydney in 2023, is based in Surry Hills, and is live across Australia. We built it because places need people and people need places, and the tools in between should be simple enough to use on a Friday night.
Venues can book a demo at check-in.au/places.
