In their own words
Sidedoor
Sidedoor is a bookings and venue management platform with distinct guest-facing and operator-facing apps. Guests can browse participating venues, request guest-list entry, reserve tables and check in with QR codes. Free membership includes guest-list bookings, priority queue skips at participating venues, reward points and five free keys. Venue tools include reservations, guest lists, ticketed events, gift vouchers, email marketing, analytics and business intelligence. Venue staff can use native Android and iOS apps offline. The operator platform offers role-based access by venue and module, administrative audit logging and lock-screen protection on shared devices. Sidedoor says its hosting and databases are encrypted, passwords are hashed, optional two-factor authentication is available, and Stripe processes card payments without Sidedoor storing full card numbers or CVV codes. Connected services include Alliance iPOS, Google Business, Stripe and an open API; Square and Epos Now are listed as coming soon. Developers can use REST API documentation and tokens. Venue plans include Starter at £99 per month, Pro at £299 per month and Max at £499 per month; paid guest memberships are annual.
