BlendOS for Android: the event POS and check-in app
BlendOS for Android is Blend's event app on Android phones, tablets and POS machines: one code from the organizer's dashboard turns each device into a gate, a check-in station, a bar till, a VIP table POS, a vendor booth or a cashless desk. It shares every screen with BlendOS on iOS, so Android and iPhone devices work the same event on the same live guest list.

What is BlendOS for Android?
BlendOS for Android is Blend's event operating system on Android: an app, not a device, that turns the Android phones, tablets and POS machines an event already has into the gates, tills and booths it needs. Each device takes its job from a code the organizer issues in the Blend dashboard.
It is the same BlendOS described on the BlendOS hub: the same modes, the same guest list and the same dashboard control. The Android app and the iOS app share their screens, from the login portals to the bar's floor map, so a team can mix devices freely.

Which Android devices can run BlendOS?

- Android POS machinesBlendOS runs on POS machines at the busiest bars and booths, for fast sales all night.

Any compatible Android device works. The organizer does not buy or rent Blend hardware: BlendOS is software, and the devices stay the organizer's.
Why do organizers run their events on Android with Blend?
Organizers run BlendOS on Android because Android is what most event teams and most POS machines already use: staff carry Android phones, many POS machines run Android, and Android tablets are easy to equip at every bar. BlendOS turns that existing fleet into one system.
I need many lanes at the gate
Every Android phone on the team becomes a scanner, so lanes scale with staff.
I cannot rent a POS for every bar
BlendOS runs on the Android POS machines and tablets you already have.
My staff use different phones
Android and iPhone run the same BlendOS on the same event.
I need a till that survives a long night
Android POS machines running BlendOS stay at the bar all night, with live totals.

How does BlendOS for Android run VIP tables and bottle service?
BlendOS for Android runs VIP tables from a live floor map: every table and lounge is on the map, every drink is added to that table's tab, and the minimum spend fills up on screen as the night goes.
- The floor mapTables and numbered lounge sofas, each with its own colour by category.
- The table's tabEvery drink becomes a line on the table, so nothing is lost between rounds.
- Minimum spendA progress bar shows how close each table is to its minimum, and tables with no minimum are marked clearly.
- The sales logEvery sale shows its station and its table, so the manager sees who sold what, where.
Bottle service is where nightlife makes its money, and where paper and memory lose it. On Blend, the table's tab, the minimum and the payment sit on the same guest record as the ticket.
Can the organizer run the whole business from an Android phone?
Yes. BlendOS for Android opens the organizer's own Blend app, styled like a store admin: orders, events, reports, payouts and marketing, on the owner's phone. Blenny, Blend's own AI agent, sits on top, so the owner can ask "which bar is slowest?" or "how many people are inside?" in English or Arabic and act on the answer from the floor.
See everything Blenny does on the Blenny page.
Can Android and iPhone devices work the same event on Blend?
Yes. BlendOS for Android and BlendOS for iOS share their screens and their data: the gate on an Android phone and the bar on an iPad read the same guest list and report to the same dashboard. A team brings the devices it has, and Blend makes them one system.
