We seek an experienced mobile app developer to design and build an application catering to nightlife venues and their patrons. The goal is to create a platform connecting various clubs, bars, restaurants and other nightspots with customers in real-time. Key features include a searchable directory of locations, integrated event listings, maps and directions. Users should be able to browse participating businesses, view details like open hours, cover charges and upcoming acts/DJs. Proprietors need a dashboard to easily update their profiles and promotions. Customers must also have the ability to check-in at venues and share status updates with friends. Push notifications are essential to deliver timely messages. Security and privacy are paramount. Authentication is required and personal data must be carefully guarded. The platform should work smoothly across Android and iOS with an intuitive interface optimized for mobile use. Design aesthetics fitting a lively, upbeat genre are preferable. Proficiency in latest frameworks, responsive design techniques and backend architecture is a must. Creativity and strong communication skills are essential to bringing this concept to fruition.
