Drink tickets are slow

Manual ticket systems create queues, enable theft, and leave guests empty-handed when tickets run out.

Cash handling is risky

Float requirements, end-of-night counting, and theft risk make cash a liability at every hosted event.

Disputes waste time

Without digital records, hosts and venues argue post-event over what was consumed and what was owed.

How It Works

Three steps. Zero hardware.

01

Host loads the budget

Before the event, the host sets a spend cap, invites guests via WhatsApp, and loads funds securely through Paystack. Done in under 10 minutes.

02

Guests scan, bar staff capture

Guests show their unique QR code at the bar. Staff capture the order on the Ceremoney cashier app and scan — confirmed in seconds. No cash, no tickets.

Auto-reconciliation

When the event ends, Ceremoney settles with the venue automatically. The host receives a full itemised report. No disputes, no counting.
