Built by someone who gets it
"I am truly proud to be able to support artists and performers as I have done for forty years. CoverChargeHero is a passion project for me that I hope will positively impact many people's lives."
I created CoverChargeHero because bands asked me to. I run a music venue and have watched bands take cash at the door for the last 40 years. The world has changed. Cash is no longer king. Most people don’t carry cash and want the convenience of tap. The two most heard sentences at the door are, “Do you have tap?” and “What time does the show start?” Every band should have Cover Charge Hero in their toolkit. It doesn’t cost anything to download and makes you look like a pro at the door.
