sway

For venues

Know who actually comes back.

Sales tell you what happened. Sway tells you who came back. Run beside your existing operations — no POS replacement, no payment changes, no staff workflow change.

The problem

POS shows transactions.
Not repeat presence.

What your POS tells you
Revenue per night
Average check size
Peak service times
Total covers
What your POS cannot tell you
Who came back last week
Which regulars you're losing
Which events create return visits
Which nights build habits vs. one-time spenders

What venues see

Repeat behavior.
Made visible.

Emerging regulars

Students who have returned 2–3 times and are forming a habit. You see them before they leave.

Event return rate

Which events bring the same people back. Not just headcount — repeat presence.

Returning students tonight

Real-time view of how many familiar faces are walking in right now.

Weak-night visibility

Which nights are not building regulars. Where attention and programming are needed.

Student density trends

Understand your campus-dense customer segment over weeks and semesters, not just shifts.

Return signal vs. one-timers

Know which students are regulars in formation and which ones never came back.

How it works

Add Sway.
Students do the rest.

01

Add a Sway check-in point

A QR code at the door. An NFC tap point. Takes minutes to set up. No hardware to purchase.

02

Students tap in when they arrive

Students open Sway and tap in. Self-directed. No staff involvement. No confrontation.

03

Your dashboard shows repeat behavior

See who came back, which events created regulars, and how your student base is growing over time.

No operational friction

Sway runs beside your venue. Not inside it.

No POS replacement

Sway is not Toast. It is not Square. It is not Resy. It does not touch your payment system.

No payment changes

Students do not pay through Sway. Your transactions stay exactly where they are.

No staff workflow change

Students check themselves in. Your staff does not need to learn anything new.

return signal (Gully's)

Pilot ran 9 weeks at Gully's with zero incentives, zero discounts, and zero changes to staff workflow. Students participated because they wanted their nights remembered — not because they were rewarded. These are pilot signals, not proven causal lift.
