Founded in 2017, BarCard was established with the mission to become the leading online and mobile platform for “the going out entertainment experience” by creating a scalable two-sided network of venues and consumers.

Currently BarCard operates a digital promotions marketplace and a real-time, hyper-local content platform for the New York City (“NYC”) nightlife industry. BarCard’s core value proposition is matching consumers looking to “go-out” with NYC’s vast amount of venues and promoters that provide a wide range of entertainment experiences. The BarCard platform creates a new advertising medium for venue managers; and provides consumers with advanced search and discovery features that include the ability to purchase tickets to unique nightlife events.

BarCard has developed proprietary software products and mobile applications that seamlessly connect multiple sides of the NYC nightlife ecosystem. For consumers, we launched the BarCard mobile app, available on both iOS and Android devices. For venues, we launched the BarCard Venue Manager, a mobile responsive web app that can be used on any device. For promoters, we launched the BarCard Door Manager, an extension product from the Venue Manager that manages guest lists and scans tickets on-premise.

At scale, BarCard aims to launch a fully-integrated “mobile tab payment” system across our venue network that may include enterprise sponsored deals and card-linked-offers for users of the BarCard mobile app.
