Your audience

Every order builds your crowd.

When a guest buys a drink, they opt into your venue's audience automatically. Now they're yours to reach — push tonight's specials, announce the next event, or fill a slow Tuesday, straight to the people who already showed up.

  • Guests join your audience the moment they order
  • Send drink specials & happy-hour blasts in seconds
  • Announce upcoming events to people who've been before
  • Your list, your venue — built from real paying customers

For bars & venues

More rounds. Shorter lines. Happier crowd.

BCKSTGE turns idle wait time into revenue — without adding staff.

Sell more per night

Guests order when the impulse hits instead of giving up at a packed bar. Every skipped line is a round you would have lost.

Move the line faster

Pre-paid, pre-made orders mean bartenders pour instead of cashing out. Pickup spots route drinks to the closest station.

Control the menu live

Flip drinks on and off in real time, push specials to the top, and 86 an item the instant you run out — no reprints.

Tips & payouts, sorted

Tipping is built into checkout and money settles through Stripe. No tabs left open, no walked checks.

Build your audience

Every paying guest joins your venue's audience — a direct line for specials and events, with no ad spend or middleman.

One flat, honest fee

Just 10% + $1 per order, paid by the guest. You keep your full drink price — same transparent pricing as the rest of Backstage.

On the venue side

Orders land on your dashboard.

Every mobile order drops straight into the BCKSTGE Mobile Drink Ordering dashboard.

  • Live order feed with guest name, drinks, and wait time
  • Accept, print, and mark ready in a single tap
  • Runs alongside your current POS — keep what already works
  • No register to rip out, no new system to learn

The model

Built-in economics.

A take rate on every order, a feature guests open their phone for, and a reason to come back next weekend.

products in one app: tickets, drinks, payouts

Illustrative. $7 = 10% of $60 + $1. Replace with your live averages before publishing.

Why it wins

A wedge into the whole night.

Fast Lane isn't a feature — it's the transaction layer for nightlife.

Take rate

Revenue on every drink

Backstage already takes guests from discovery to ticket. Fast Lane extends the same rails to the highest-frequency transaction in a venue — the drink order — with a clean 10% + $1 take rate the guest pays.

Owned audience

A CRM that fills itself

Every purchase enrolls a guest in that venue's audience, turning one-time foot traffic into a re-marketable list. Bars get a direct push channel for specials and events — and the more they message, the more reasons guests have to stay on the platform.

Two-sided moat

Venues and guests reinforce each other

Every venue that turns on Fast Lane brings its crowd; every guest who skips a line expects it at the next bar. Audience tools, live presence, and pickup routing get stickier the more a venue uses them.

Platform

One stack, expanding surface area

Tickets, drink ordering, audience messaging, promoter payouts, and venue analytics already run on a single Firebase + Stripe backend. Each new module raises revenue per venue without raising the cost to serve them.
