Introducing NOOK: Digital Patron Check-In & Menus to Keep Australia's Hospitality Industry Afloat

Introducing NOOK – an Australian-based business, created in the wake of the COVID-19 lockdown to help the hospitality sector navigate the downturn and safely continue work.

Co-founders Jeremy Blaze and Bella Chambers are on a mission to reduce touch points in venues that may be conducive to carrying the virus.

Through the use of contactless sign-in processes and digital menus, NOOK aims to help restaurants navigate their way through these uncertain times.
As a team, we strongly believe that the hospitality industry isn't just about food. It's about the community, the culture and a taste of life.

Make sure your customers know that their safety is your business by taking pro-active steps forward to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

We're proud to have been featured in a number of articles already, demonstrating how front-of-mind this problem is...

 

NOOK has also received features from Triple M, Border Mail, and more.

We have already processed over 100,000 check-ins at venues across Australia's east coast and hope to facilitate many more.
