Plans on paper are not enough. Plans on every phone are.
VenueReady keeps the whole job in one place, in plain English, for venues with a small team and no security department.
Write your procedures
Answer simple questions about your venue. VenueReady writes your evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication procedures for you.
Put them on every phone
Invite staff by link or QR code. Their cards open even with no signal. Press and hold to alert everyone on shift, and see who is safe.
Keep the records
Log briefings and drills with who was there, see who has read the latest cards, and download a records pack whenever you need it.
Ready in six steps
Most venues finish the first four in an afternoon.
-
Check your tier
A few questions tell you whether Martyn's Law applies to your venue, and which tier.

Add your venue
Exits, safe rooms, assembly points and a photo of your floor plan.
-
Write your four procedures
The app asks, you answer, and it writes the cards your staff will use.
-
Invite your team
Each person signs in with their mobile number. No passwords to remember.
-
Brief and practise
Run a short briefing and a drill. Everyone says how clear it was.
-
Keep it current
