One connected experience.

Project summary

A practical idea.
A complete platform.

Pappa Squat brings restroom discovery, visit management, and community feedback together. Members can explore locations, check amenities and availability, and manage their visit from arrival through checkout.

For businesses, the platform connects public listings with access controls, condition reports, visitor accountability, promotions, and tools for managing multiple locations. Macke's Software's work spans the mobile app, public website, backend services, dashboards, and business host portal.

to come back.

Participating hosts can add rewards for completed visits, reviews, and community shares. The selected host rewards tier determines which actions earn points.

  • 15 points per eligible review.

Premier

Inspire sharing
