PRONOUNCED “SKIP-STER”

OUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION…

HOW DO YOU SAY “ZKIPSTER”, AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

zkipster began with the goal of revolutionizing event check-in: enabling guests to “skip” the line by replacing inefficient, old-fashioned paper guest lists with a smart digital tool. The “z” pays tribute to the fact that the company was founded in Zürich, Switzerland.

OUR VALUES

The privacy and protection of your data is paramount. We are constantly innovating to ensure that zkipster is the most secure and reliable software of its kind.
