Communicating guest arrival times for event payment

🌱 parentingsocial problemSingle report ●●●●● severity 2/5

A party host is struggling to find a polite way to inform guests that they must arrive by a specific time to have their admission fee covered, as the venue requires the host to be physically present at the entrance to pay for guests and will not bill them automatically without a room rental.

Who's affected: A person planning a child's birthday party at a venue without a private room rental and possibly others hosting events with similar venue payment policies.

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A digital invitation platform that includes a 'logistics' section with pre-written, polite templates for explaining arrival-based payment policies.
  2. A mobile app for event hosts that allows guests to check in via QR code, automatically notifying the host and tracking headcount for venue billing.
  3. A prepaid voucher system or digital gift card service specifically for party venues that allows hosts to pre-purchase a set number of admissions for guests to redeem upon arrival.
