Automatic occupancy counting, private event bookings, and real-time insights, all in one dashboard for your venue. KNOW YOUR COUNT One accurate count across every door. Let us handle the math while you focus on what matters. FREE UP YOUR DOOR Your bouncers stop tallying and go back to the job. Checking IDs, keeping glasses from leaving, and handling trouble before it starts. LIVE FROM ANYWHERE Check the count from the door, your couch, or the back office. It updates instantly, so nobody is walking back and forth to ask. EVERY MINUTE, SAVED A clicker gives you one number, then it's gone. CrowdCheckr keeps every minute, so every night makes the next one easier to plan. STAFF ON DATA, NOT A HUNCH Recommended staffing hour by hour, built from your own history. Next week's schedule takes minutes instead of an evening. BOOKINGS AND EVENTS IN ONE PLACE Private event requests land in one inbox. Gamedays and concerts sit on one calendar. Nothing gets lost in a group chat. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE TEAM Role-based access. Bouncers see the live count, managers get analytics and bookings, owners control everything. CrowdCheckr works with the counting hardware installed at your door. Not set up yet? Start at www.crowdcheckr.com.
