Door staff, bar staff and the duty manager in one voice room
For pubs, bars, clubs and hotels. The door and the floor talk to each other with push-to-talk, anyone can raise an emergency alert from their phone, and every incident on the night is recorded.

Late nights, loud rooms and customers who have been drinking
A message shouted across a dance floor gets lost, and a handheld radio is one more thing to charge and lose. whoot. runs on the phones your team already carry, and every transmission is recorded.
When something happens, you can give the licensing officer or the police the timeline and the messages, with the times of each.
Typical situations
Suspected spiking
A customer is unwell. The door team are told who to look out for, first aid is called, and the details are kept for the police.
Trouble at the door
The door team call for back-up on voice and the duty manager hears it at once, wherever they are in the building.
Clearing a hotel at night
When the fire alarm goes off, residents are texted, floor marshals report each floor clear and reception sees who has replied.
Every transmission on the night is recorded
Transmissions are recorded and transcribed as they happen, so you can write the incident report from what was actually said, with the times beside it, instead of relying on memory the next morning.
- Recordings kept for 30 days
- Search what was said across every voice room
- Duress phrases for staff who cannot speak freely
