we work with operators who've invested in their environment and want to protect it for the people who walk through the door.

the partnership, from signature to proof.
Most operators ask the same question before they commit: what actually happens after we sign? Here it is. A launch we run with you, and a dashboard that shows you it landed.
your launch, done with you.
A tag on a wall doesn't change a space. A launch does. So every partnership includes the kip launch toolkit: every member email, social caption and sign already written, a full asset bank, and a go-live checklist your team can actually run.
You bring your voice and your channels. We bring everything else, and kip runs the launch with you, from the first announcement to your quarterly review.

then watch it land.
From day one, your partner dashboard shows what's really happening: hours disconnected, sessions, active members and your busiest times, across the whole estate and venue by venue. It even tells you which site needs a look before you'd have spotted it yourself.
What it never shows is individual member data. No names, no personal usage, ever. Group-level numbers only, because member trust is what makes the numbers worth having.
The result is a wellness story you can take to members, prospects and your board, with the evidence attached.

in their words
why operators choose kip.
leaders across wellness, co-working and hospitality on what changed when kip came in.
Phones can work against the very intentions our members come here for, not through any fault of theirs, but because these devices are designed to pull us away. kip gives our members a tool to protect what they came here for, on their terms.
Marc DiaperCEO, Fitness First
We've always built cabins for people who want to feel present somewhere. kip gives guests something practical, a way to actually choose how they spend their time here.
Harry TomkinsonFounder, Shacks
88 Wood Street is a space where presence and connection take priority. By removing digital distractions, kip gives people permission to fully engage, listen, and connect in ways that truly matter.
Elliott SparsisCEO, TOGETHER
The Ministry is built for both focus and connection. kip helps us do both, whether members are getting stuck into work or being fully present at a social event. A simple shift, but one that benefits individuals and employers alike.

the shift
people aren't just stepping back from their phones. they're demanding spaces that help them.
the venues creating those spaces are winning loyalty, driving retention, and building a culture others can't replicate.

Common questions
FAQs
If you've got a question that's not answered here, drop it in your enquiry, we read every one.
OperatorsWhat does kip actually look like in the venue?
Three components. A physical product we ship to you for installation. A free app for your members. A branded communications toolkit to support member onboarding and ongoing engagement.
OperatorsHow much work is this for my team?
Minimal. The physical kit arrives ready to install. It requires no power, no batteries, no network connection, and no ongoing maintenance. It simply needs fixing to a wall in a location that fits your member journey. From contract signature to live operation, most partners are up and running within a few weeks.
OperatorsWho handles the marketing and member comms?
We share the responsibility, and the division of work matters. kip provides the top-level communications strategy, brand assets, and core messaging framework. Your team takes that foundation, applies your tone of voice, and delivers it to your members and guests through the channels they already engage with.
This is as critical as the physical install. The product changes the space. The communications determine whether your members know to engage with it. Both layers have to land for the partnership to deliver.
OperatorsWhy would my members care?
Because most of them are already trying to use their phones less and don't yet know how. Whether they're at the gym, in a hotel lobby, at a co-working desk or watching a film, the value of being there increases the moment the feeds stop competing for attention. kip makes that choice easy and visible, and gives your venue credit for delivering it. And it is their choice, every time. Nothing is confiscated, nothing is banned. That's why it works.
OperatorsDo members pay for the app?
No. The kip app is free for your members as part of the partnership. That's deliberate. We're not asking your customers to pay for something you're already investing in, and "free as part of your membership" is a quietly powerful retention message.
OperatorsHow much does it cost?
Two components: a one-off cost per tag, and a flat monthly licence per venue. Tag counts vary by space, some venues want two, some ten or more, and multi-site estates are priced as an estate. Tell us about your venue in the form below and we'll come back with exact numbers within two working days.
OperatorsWill I be able to see how it's working?
Yes, from day one. Your partner dashboard is live. It shows sessions, minutes and hours disconnected, and your peak times of day, across your whole estate and broken out by site, so multi-site operators can compare locations directly. Partners also use it to power initiatives: site vs site challenges, or tying a month's disconnected hours to a charitable donation.
What you won't see is individual member data. No names, and no record of which apps a member pauses. That's a hard line for us. Members trust kip because their data stays private, and that trust is what makes the numbers you do see actually meaningful.
OperatorsHow do partnerships start?
With a conversation about your space, then a full launch. Every partnership gets the complete treatment: tags installed, your team briefed, and a two-week member comms runway before go-live, all running on the launch toolkit we provide. We put that much into the start because a launch members don't hear about generates nothing, for you or for us. From signature to live, most partners are up and running within a few weeks, and your kip lead stays with you from day one through quarterly reviews.
