You have the hall, the caterer, the DJ, the aso-ebi. The one thing you cannot afford is chaos at the gate. Ekaabo sends every guest a WhatsApp QR code and lets your ushers scan them in three seconds flat, even when there is no internet.
Planning the party is the fun part. Managing who actually shows up is where things fall apart.
They heard about the party, wore aso-ebi, and walked in with full confidence. By the time someone noticed, the food was gone. Paper lists are impossible to enforce at a busy gate.
You shared the date in five family groups. People said they are coming. Now you have no idea how many to actually cater for. Someone always shows up with four people you did not expect.
You estimated 200 plates. 340 people showed up. Or you made 400 plates and 150 came. Without a real RSVP system, catering for an owambe is always a guess.
Event centres, hotels and open grounds in Nigeria are notorious for poor connectivity. An app that needs internet is an app that fails exactly when you need it.
No technical knowledge needed. If you can use WhatsApp, you can run Ekaabo for your party.
Set your event name, date, venue and guest capacity. Takes two minutes. You can create a separate event for your after-party if you are running one.
Import your list from a spreadsheet or add guests manually. Each person gets a unique QR code automatically. Set how many plus-ones each guest is allowed.
Ekaabo sends each guest a personalised WhatsApp message with their QR code. They receive it directly on their phone. No app to download, no email needed.
Your ushers open Ekaabo on their phones and scan each guest. Green means in. No QR code means they are not on the list. Walk-ins are added on the spot. Everything works offline.
Built for how Nigerian parties actually work, not how Western event apps imagine they do.
Every guest gets a unique QR code. Ushers scan it and get an instant result. Three seconds per guest at peak entry time.
QR codes go directly to guests on WhatsApp. No email, no app download. Your guests receive it where they already are.
The guest list downloads before the event. If the venue has no internet, check-in continues without any interruption. Everything syncs when connectivity returns.
Someone shows up without an invitation. Your usher adds them on the spot, generates a QR code instantly, and checks them in. All tracked.
Set companion allowances per guest. The system tracks who has entered under each QR code. No one can bring extra people without your knowledge.
Watch your guest count update live from your phone. See how many have arrived, how many are expected, and who has not shown up yet.
Share a link in your WhatsApp group and let guests register themselves. Set a capacity limit and Ekaabo closes registration automatically when you are full.
Already have your list in a spreadsheet? Import it directly. Ekaabo generates QR codes for everyone automatically without any extra work.
"I ran my mum's 60th birthday with Ekaabo. We had 420 guests and not one person got in without being checked. The food was counted correctly for the first time ever. I will never go back to paper lists."
"The offline mode saved our event. The venue network was terrible but our ushers kept scanning without stopping. Nobody even noticed there was a problem. Ekaabo just worked."
"I use Ekaabo for every event I plan now. The WhatsApp QR delivery means guests actually receive their invitation properly. No more excuses about not getting the invite."
