How it works

Host book exchanges
and grow local footfall

01

You register your Space

Tell us your venue, area, and the deal you'll offer Koottar groups — a discount, a reserved table, a quiet corner.

02

We list you on the app

Your Space appears when readers within 3 km arrange a book exchange. Koottar suggests you as the meeting point.

03

Readers arrive

Two readers meet at your venue, exchange a book, order drinks, and may stay for a discussion. Real local footfall from people nearby.

04

You grow with us

After 3 free months, a simple monthly listing fee. We share visit data so you can see your Koottar ROI clearly.
