About

HostPass

Read full description

HostPass turns word-of-mouth into paid referrals for nightlife and hospitality. Concierges, drivers, hotel staff, and promoters send guests to partner venues. When the guest actually shows up and is checked in, the referrer earns a payout. No guesswork, no chasing anyone for cash. FOR REFERRERS • Browse venues that are accepting referrals right now • Send a guest in seconds: name, party size, expected arrival • Track every referral from sent, to accepted, to checked in • Watch earnings land in your wallet as guests arrive • Transfer your balance to your bank when you're ready FOR VENUES • Fund a referral balance and set what a guest is worth • Accept or decline incoming referrals • Check guests in at the door, confirming they arrived • See exactly which referrals drove traffic, and what it cost HOW PAYOUTS WORK Venues pre-fund their referral balance, so the money is there before a guest walks in. Payouts are calculated at check-in and settle to the referrer's account. Payments and bank transfers are handled by Stripe. HostPass is invite-only while we onboard our first venues.
