Your table, on your phone
Once the ticket is scanned, the phone shows where to go, who is at the table and one question to start with.
PRODUCT · BUILT AND TESTED
The evening,
orchestrated.
One flow for guests, hosts and venues: tickets and profiles before, a calm door and a moving room during, private choices and chat after. The host sets the shape once; MatchQuest runs the mechanics.
AT THE DOOR
Calm arrivals.
Only real attendance counts.
Each guest’s page walks them through the evening: check in, event, feedback.
- Signed, rotating ticket codes, scanned by the host or check-in staff. A typed code works when a camera doesn’t.
- New guests can join at the door through the host’s event QR invitation: sign up, finish the profile, checked in.
- Only guests who actually arrived are seated, so no-shows never leave a table half empty.
IN THE ROOM
The host keeps the room.
The app keeps the rhythm.
- Seating from the checked-in guests, with named tables and directions that match the venue’s layout.
- Table changes every 10 to 60 minutes, announced in advance. Guests choose to stay, move or take a break, and the planner mixes in new faces.
- Pause, add 15 minutes or open table choices early with one tap.
- Late arrivals are seated when there’s room, or held for the host. Help and change requests reach the host; nothing else interrupts.
WHAT THE GUEST SEES
Booking the ticket
is only the start.
New faces, if you want them
When tables change, the app mixes the room so guests meet people they haven’t met yet. Staying is always fine.
Help is one tap away
Call the host over, ask for a different group or head home early. A blocked person is never seated at the same table.
Choose privately, then chat
Guests mark friends, a date or no one. Only mutual choices are shared, and each one opens a private chat.
AFTER THE EVENING
The connection
doesn’t end at the door.
- Guests mark the people they met as friends, a date or neither. A one-sided choice is never shown.
- Every mutual connection opens a private chat, without swapping numbers at the table.
- Guests rate the evening; the host sees totals once enough people have answered, never who said what.
- Attendance, feedback and earnings stay with the event, so the next edition starts from what worked.
FOR HOSTS AND VENUES
One workspace
for the business side.
Formats, not templates
Named tables or spots, small groups or meeting freely; changes on a rhythm or groups that stay together; supper clubs, games, vinyl, workshops.
A venue marketplace
Organizers send a real plan, venues accept, decline or counter-offer, and the date, setup and terms stay in one chat tied to the booking.
Earnings in one view
Ticket sales and venue hire, after refunds and fees, with attendance, fill rate, show-up rate and rating beside them.
TRUST AND SAFETY
Safety is part of the flow,
not an add-on.
- Every guest accepts the code of conduct before they get a ticket.
- A blocked pair is never seated together, through first seating, change requests, host moves and re-mixes.
- Help is one tap away on the guest’s phone and goes to a real person in the room.
- Check-in staff get event-scoped access that the host can revoke; ticket and invitation codes are signed and rotate.
- One-sided choices stay private and feedback is shown only as totals.
WHERE THE PRODUCT STANDS
Built and tested.
Not yet proven in the market.
- Guest, host, check-in staff and venue journeys run end to end against the real backend in automated browser tests, including a room of twelve guests at four tables with door scans, re-mixes and host controls.
- Installable on phones as an app (Android prompt, iPhone guide), with an offline fallback.
- Event QR invitations and a prepared closed-beta waiting list for gradual opening.
- Next: hosted pilot evenings in Berlin with founding organizers and venues. Commercial traction is the open question this round answers.
