How it works

From your phone to the front door.

Step 01

Sign up for free

Create your Backdoor account in under a minute. Just your name, email and phone number — no payment details needed.

Step 02

Pick a venue & night

Browse venues near you, choose your night, set your party size, and optionally use a key to skip the queue.

Step 03

Show your QR & walk in

When you arrive, open your booking and show the QR code. Door staff scan it, see your name, and you’re in. That’s it.

01 — Skip the queue

No more waiting in the rain or in high heels.

Choose your venue, pick your night, and you’re on the list. When you arrive, show your QR code and walk straight to the guest list. No clipboard hunting, no arguing with the doorman, no standing in the cold.

Browse venues and pick any upcoming night
Less time queuing, more time having fun
Your booking is confirmed instantly
Show your QR code — door staff scan and you’re in

02 — Quick & secure

Book in seconds. Secure by design.

Register once with your name, email and phone — that’s it. Every booking gets a tamper-proof QR code tied to your identity. No screenshots, no fakes, no sharing. Your spot is yours.

One-time registration — takes under a minute
Secure, cryptographically signed QR codes
Party size and plus-ones handled automatically
Cancel free anytime

03 — Growing network

Your favourite venues, all in one place.

Backdoor is partnered with a growing number of clubs, bars, lounges and restaurants. New venues are being added every week — and every single one is free to browse and book through.

04 — Exclusive events

Last-minute access to events you won’t find anywhere else.

Backdoor-only events drop without warning at venues you already love. Album launches, secret gigs, pop-up exhibitions, private tastings — all exclusively for Backdoor members. If you’re not on the app, you’re not invited.

05 — Keys

Keys open doors.

Backdoor runs on keys — our in-app currency for the moments that matter. Skip queues, lock in guaranteed entry, unlock paid placements at sold-out nights. Join free and we’ll drop a few keys into your account so you can try them out on us.

Free keys when you join — try the platform with nothing on the line
Top up in seconds, bulk discounts kick in automatically
Use them to skip queues or guarantee a spot at busy venues
Unused keys never expire — save them for the night that matters
