5 mistakes of a nightclub that sells tickets by hand

1. The door on a paper list

Searching for names on a sheet of paper with the queue waiting is slow, and the list ends up decided by whoever shouts loudest. With the list on the doorman's phone, a name is found in a second.

2. Promoters' cash not recorded

If every promoter takes cash and tells you on Sunday, you don't know what each one sold. Having them record every sale on their phone at the time, even when paid in cash, leaves the settlement done.

3. Not knowing who you're expecting

Without online sales you don't know how many people are coming until they're at the door. A list with free reservation tells you how many to expect, without charging anything in advance.

4. Takings from memory

Box office, promoters and bar separately, and at closing nobody knows what adds up. With every ticket recorded, the night's takings work themselves out.

5. An audience with no contact details

Whoever came on Saturday left you nothing to tell them about the next one. Signing up to the list with their email or phone gives you your own database.
