Where great venues meet their people.

We started Kanova because the best venues are rarely the most visible ones. Years of travelling and exploring new cities kept revealing the same gap — genuinely great experiences buried under sponsored noise, while the real gems stayed hidden. We built Kanova to fix that: a platform where discovery feels authentic, great venues get found on merit, and the people who love exploring always know where to go next.

Kanova is a hospitality discovery app. It connects you with the best venues, live promotions and events wherever you are — and rewards you for coming back to the places you love.

Yes. The app is completely free for guests. No subscription, no fees, no catch.

Browse the home screen for what's on near you, use Explore or the Map to search by area and category, or ask Nova — our AI assistant — what you're in the mood for. Nova handles everything from "cheap eats nearby" to "best sunset spot for a group of 10."

Tell the app what you're planning — occasion, group size, area and time — and local venues respond with private offers. You pick the one that works. No phone calls, no back and forth.

When you visit venues that run loyalty programs on Kanova, you earn stamps or points automatically. Collect enough and you unlock rewards — free items, discounts, exclusive perks. Everything lives in the Rewards tab.

Yes. Save any venue, promo or event from anywhere in the app. Access everything from your Saved list on the home screen.

Kanova is live in Cape Town, with Bali, Lisbon and Bangkok coming soon. The same app works in every Kanova city — no need to download anything new when you travel.

Download the app, create an account and start exploring. It takes about two minutes.

Kanova is a hospitality discovery and promotions platform. Guests use it to find venues, browse live offers and earn loyalty rewards. You use it to reach them — with promotions, events and group bookings — without paying commission on a single sale.

You create a venue profile and publish promotions from a simple business dashboard. Guests discover your venue through the app, save your offers, follow your business and come back for more. The more active your profile, the more visible you are.

Yes. Every new venue gets a free starter pack of credits when they join — enough to run your first promotions and see results before you spend anything.

Almost everything on Kanova is à la carte. You buy credits and spend them on promotions, events and features as you need them — no mandatory subscription. The one exception is the loyalty program: activating digital stamp or spend-based rewards for your guests requires a monthly or annual subscription. Everything else is pay-as-you-go.

One new regular customer a month more than covers the cost of a credit pack. If Kanova drives even a handful of new guests through your door, the platform pays for itself many times over — and everything those guests spend stays with you.

Never. What you earn is yours. Kanova is paid for visibility, not a cut of your revenue.

Run time-limited flash deals, ongoing promotions and event listings. Reach guests nearby in real time with Local Broadcast. Target travellers in other cities before they arrive with Plan Ahead. Win group bookings through Rally. Run digital loyalty programs. Manage it all — including multiple venues and your team — from one dashboard.

Tap "List your venue" on the website or in the app. Your profile can be live within minutes and your free starter pack will be ready when you join.

A territory partner operates Kanova in a specific market — bringing venues onto the platform, growing guest adoption and managing local business development. Kanova provides the technology, brand and product; the partner provides local expertise and execution.

Platform License: You license the Kanova platform to operate independently in your market. You own the local operation — venue relationships, sales, onboarding, support — under the Kanova brand. Market Developer: You develop the market on Kanova's behalf as an operational partner. You lead on the ground; Kanova stays involved as the technology and brand owner. Better suited to operators who want a more collaborative structure.

Kanova is actively expanding. Current and pipeline markets include Cape Town, Bali, Lisbon, Bangkok and Washington DC. If your market isn't listed, reach out — we'd still like to hear from you.

The full technology platform — consumer app, business dashboard, admin panel — the Kanova brand, onboarding support and training, ongoing product updates and access to the global Kanova network.

Local market knowledge, venue relationships, a sales and onboarding capability, and the ability to manage day-to-day operations in the market.

This depends on the market and partnership model. Requirements are discussed during the partnership conversation. In most markets, having or establishing a local entity is part of the setup.

No. Revenue structures, fees and commercial arrangements are discussed directly and privately. To start a conversation, contact partnerships@kanova.io.

Email partnerships@kanova.io with your market of interest, a brief background on your operation and why you think Kanova is a fit. We'll take it from there.
