QuietGate

QuietGate is a mobile + web app that shows real-time wait times for festival bottlenecks: entry gates, security, bars, toilets, water stations, merch, and shuttles. It blends two data sources: (1) crowd-sourced “I just waited X minutes” check-ins with lightweight verification (time/location consistency), and (2) organizer-provided signals when available (QR scan throughput, POS transactions, staff counters). The app turns this into a simple map with heat zones and “best route” suggestions to reduce wasted time and missed sets. For organizers, a web dashboard highlights hotspots, predicts surges (post-headliner, weather shifts), and recommends staffing moves. This is not glamorous, but it’s practical: fewer complaints, better spending, and smoother flow. Monetization is B2B SaaS to festivals, with optional sponsor placements (e.g., “fastest water refill”).
