For café and dhaba owners: get found by people searching after midnight

Plenty of people search for food, chai, medicine or a late coffee after midnight. They are often tired, hungry, and standing somewhere they do not know well. If your place is open and they find it, you get a customer who would otherwise have gone to the next place. If your place is closed, or listed with old hours, they waste a trip and remember it. openatnight.shop is built for that moment.

What the service does

Each night from 9 PM to 7 AM, places that have paid for the night and checked in appear as Open, with the time they were last confirmed. People browsing the site see those places. Your business also gets its own page with its name, address, phone and map, which search engines can index.

What it costs

It costs ₹29 for each night you choose to be open. There are no subscriptions, nothing renews on its own, and there are no ads or bidding. Results are shuffled fairly within each area, so paying does not push you to the top. What you buy is a night in which you can show as open.

New partners can use the code LAUNCH7 for seven free nights per listing, for the first 30 partners. Enter it at checkout. The current terms list the details.

How to start

• Sign in with your phone number.
• Search for your business on Google. We fill in the name, address and phone, and you confirm or edit them.
• Buy the nights you want to be open. You can do this in the daytime, too.
• On the night, tap “I’m open” when you open. Tap “Still open” now and then, and “Closed for tonight” when you shut.

Our team reviews each new listing by hand, so there may be a short wait before your place goes live.

Get the sticker and the badge

Every approved place can get a printable QR sticker for the counter, so customers can check your live status from the door. You can also add a “Live status on openatnight.shop” badge to your website, your Instagram bio or your Google Business Profile links. Each link helps people find your page when they search.

Rules that keep the badge honest

The badge only means something if it is accurate, so a few rules apply to everyone. Tap “I’m open” only when you are open. If a night is paid and you do not check in, the place stays hidden for that night, and that night is not refunded. That is why we send a reminder email at 8:45 PM to partners who hold a pass for the night, and why it helps to set your own alarm. Customers can report a place as closed, and repeated reports lead to a review of the listing.

Set it up before the night starts

The easiest time to set up is before you need the badge. Sign in, add your place, and buy tonight’s night before the purchase cut-off at 3 AM. When you open, tap “I’m open”. The badge goes live with the time, and anyone searching from that moment will see it.
