REALTIME
Realtime for venues

Get found by
people going out
tonight

Realtime is where people decide where to go. Claim your venue, post what is happening, run offers they can claim at the bar, and reach customers who are already nearby — all from your phone, in a couple of minutes.

Free to claim your venue. No contract, no setup fee.

Realtime app — a venue found on the live map

Be on the map

People open Realtime to decide where to go. Your venue is right there when they do.

Live activity from customers puts the places that are going off at the top.

Fill quiet nights

Run an offer, notify people nearby, and turn a slow Tuesday into a busy one.

See what worked

Track posts, engagement and offer redemptions week on week.

Realtime app — Live venue map
Get discovered

Be the place they pick

Every Realtime user opens a live map of what is around them. Your venue sits on that map with your name, your photos and whatever you have on right now — in front of people who have already decided they are going out.

  • Live heat, not stale reviews

    When customers check in, post and interact at your venue, you climb the map. People can see you are busy tonight rather than that you were good three years ago.

  • Show up in the right searches

    Your venue appears on our city and area pages — the ones people land on from Google when they search where to go out near them.

  • Reach the people already nearby

    Realtime is location-first. The people seeing your venue are the ones who can walk to it.

Realtime app — Venue posts
Post the vibe

Show what is happening right now

A photo of a full room at nine o'clock does more than any amount of advertising. Post text, photos or video straight from behind the bar and it lands with people deciding where to go in the next hour.

  • Text, photos and video

    Post the band setting up, the queue at the door, the new cocktail menu, or just that there are tables free.

  • Customers post too

    People at your venue share their own photos and stories, which show up on your venue page and pull in their friends.

  • Likes and comments

    Customers react and comment on your posts, so you can see immediately what lands.

Realtime app — Offers
Offers & specials

Run offers people actually turn up for

Create an offer in the app and it goes live to everyone nearby. They claim it on their phone and redeem it at the bar — so you know exactly what the offer brought in.

  • Create in seconds

    Set a title, a description and an expiry. Percentage off, money off, two-for-one, freebie — whatever fits the night.

  • Claimed and redeemed in app

    Customers claim the offer, show it at the bar, and your team redeems it. Every redemption is counted.

  • Weekly specials

    Set recurring specials by day of the week — quiz night, wing Wednesday, Sunday roast — and they show automatically on the right days.

  • Coupon codes

    Issue codes for specific promotions when you need tighter control over who gets what.

Reach customers

Send a push to everyone nearby

Quiet Thursday? Send a notification to Realtime users within a radius you choose. You pick the distance, you see how many people it reaches before you send, and it goes straight to their phone.

  • Choose your radius

    Anywhere from a quarter of a mile to ten. See the recipient count update as you adjust it, before you commit.

  • Credits included

    Every venue gets a notification credit allowance that resets weekly. Bigger radius costs more credits, so you can spend them where they count.

  • Full send history

    Every broadcast is logged with the radius, the credits spent and how many people it reached.

Realtime app — Edit venue details
Your venue page

Everything a customer needs to decide

Your venue page is the thing people look at before they set off. Photos, opening hours, what kind of place you are and what you offer — all of it under your control and editable in seconds.

  • Photo gallery

    Upload as many photos as you like and pick the one that leads. Good photos are the single biggest thing that gets people through the door.

  • Proper opening hours

    Not just open and close — kitchen hours, last orders, last entry and happy hour times, set for each day of the week.

  • Features and tags

    Dog friendly, beer garden, live sport, step-free access, vegan options, pool table. Customers filter on these, so the more you set the more often you come up.

  • Description and contact

    Tell people what you are in a line or two, and add your website and phone number.

Venue managers

Your team

Not just you behind the bar

Add your managers and staff so anyone on shift can post the vibe, publish an offer or update tonight's hours — without handing round a single login.

  • Invite by email

    Send an invite and they get access as soon as they accept. Revoke it just as easily when someone moves on.

  • Roles

    Control who can change what, so the person covering a Friday shift can post without being able to rewrite your venue details.

  • Multiple venues, one account

    Run a group? Switch between all the venues you manage from the same account.

Venue analytics

Insights

See what is actually working

A straightforward read on how your venue is doing in the app — over the last seven days or the last thirty, always against the period before it, so you can tell a good week from a normal one.

  • Posts and engagement

    How much you posted, how much engagement it got, and the average per post.

  • Offer performance

    Active offers, how many were claimed, and your redemption rate.

  • Week-on-week trends

    Every figure compared against the previous period, so you can see the direction of travel rather than a number with no context.

Common questions

How much does it cost?

Claiming your venue, setting up your page, posting and running offers are free. Push notifications use a weekly credit allowance included with your venue. Featured placement is a paid option — get in touch if you want to talk about it.

Do I need a computer?

No. Everything a venue needs is in the Realtime app on iOS and Android — claiming, posting, offers, hours, photos, notifications and analytics.

My venue is already on the map. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Venues get added by our team and by customers. Find yours in the app and submit a claim, and once it is approved you control the page.

What if my venue is not on the map?

You can add it yourself from the app in a minute or two. Search first in case it is already listed under a slightly different name.

How do customers redeem an offer?

They claim it in the app and show it at the bar. Your team marks it redeemed, and it is counted in your analytics so you can see what the offer actually brought in.
