Prosto Pushka Lounge guest app in Dubai: guest card, seat-by-seat booking, order from the table
Submitted to App Review.
Prosto Pushka is the guest app of one lounge in Dubai. The staff show a QR code, the guest scans it and lands in the card the venue has already set up. I built the guest app and the staff app, Pushka POS.
What I did
- Booking on the floor plan. At the big table the guest books single seats, not the whole table. A notification confirms it; cancelling takes one tap.
- A menu with the kitchen, the bar, tea and signature flavour blends: photos, ingredients, prices in AED. A copy lives on the phone, so it opens offline. Favourites.
- Order from the table: the item goes to the shift as a request. There are no payments in the app.
- A live bill: what has been served, the total and how much cashback covers. The guest picks how to pay in the app and pays at the venue; the till closes the bill.
- The first sign-in is a QR code at the venue, and the venue creates the card, so nobody ends up with a second empty one. After that: Apple, Telegram or a code by email, no password.
- Cashback from every closed bill with its balance and expiry, a deposit with its history, and an “On my way” button so the shift knows when the guest arrives.

Pushka POS
The staff app of the same lounge. Cashiers and waiters get push alerts and Live Activity cards in the Dynamic Island, but only those within about 1 km of the venue: whoever is off shift and away isn't disturbed. The app opens with Face ID.
- APNs push and Live Activity cards
- Geofence: alerts go to cashiers and waiters within about 1 km
- Face ID lock screen

A venue app from idea to App Store: the Pushka build
A venue app reaches the App Store once it covers one guest journey from arrival to bill, does things a website can't, has a staff side to receive requests, and passes Apple's review.

Staff apps for venues: what changes on the floor and desk
A staff app sends each signal, such as an arriving guest, a new lead or a car due back, to the person who can act on it, so the shift stops depending on group chats and memory.
