A member interview with WasHere – Rickard, Oliver, Jacob, Carl, Niclas and Jacob.
WasHere is a member of A house Katarinahuset and works to help companies onboard their customers to Apple and Google Wallet. In this way, they offer a new marketing channel via push notifications and geo location – without having to build an app. Last week, we had the pleasure of getting to know the guys on level 4.
Hi there! Can you tell us about the project you recently did for us at A house?
– Together with A house, we have developed a membership card for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. The card can be found in the A house app and it gives you as a member access to all benefits, such as discounts on restaurants, shops, events, etc. Another benefit is that all members receive day passes monthly that allow them to work from all A house’s different destinations. The best ambassadors for A house are us members and we can all give out free day passes to our friends who want to try sitting here and working. Ask your friend to scan the QR code of your A member card to register and download the A friend card.
Can you tell us about any other exciting customer projects?
– We launched WasHere on December 2, 2023 at Madison Square Garden in New York, during the last show of the rock band KISS. KISS has the world’s largest fan club, the KISS ARMY, and during that weekend we got 80,000 fans to sign up! These fans will get priority access to the KISS Avatar show in Las Vegas in 2027 and lots of other exciting experiences and surprises along the way! In addition to KISS & A house, we currently have over 50 customers in retail, e-commerce, hotels, coworking, restaurants and entertainment.
What made you want to move in with us?
– We actually went to A house Katarinahuset when it was still a construction site. When it was time for the opening, we all thought it was perfect for us!
Where can I find you at AW here in Slussen?
– Bar Europa on Bysistorget, Kanon (a new restaurant run by the restaurateurs behind A bowl and Måsen) and at Pet Sounds Bar here in Katarinahuset!
Speaking of restaurants, those of you who work with Apple and Google Wallet, what are the best restaurant passes to have in your digital wallet?
– A house A member is of course the best as we all get discounts at the restaurants around us… but apart from that we would also recommend:

Cannon – Opening offer during October and November with 20% discount on food and non-alcoholic between Tuesday to Thursday.
