  • First in Line

    QUP Corp and DrinQUP are the brainchildren of Chris Barringer, CEO and founder of QUP Corp. Chris, originally from Denver, Colorado, dropped out of high school in 12th grade and worked in a factory to support his family. While at work, he taught himself computer programming and realized that both he and his family would benefit from this new professional direction. He took the G.E.D. and went to Westwood College of Technology for Computer Networking, taking 21 credits a term to achieve his associates degree in only one year. Afterward, in an interview with the board at Denver University, Chris successfully argued that his life experience was already equivalent to a Bachelor’s degree. He got in the EMBA program in 2018 and graduated summa cum laude a year and a half later with an Executive Master’s Degree. Chris’ childhood and early adult life are fascinating examples of thriving through extreme hardship. He will be featured in upcoming blogs (www.qupcorp/blog) so stay tuned!

    Chris is a driven, relentless creator, thinker and dreamer who has surprisingly realistically shaped visions to improve society and the world that we live in. DrinQUP is a very small “proof-of-concept” style step in a much, much greater plan that we look forward to sharing with you in stages. Here is our current 2025 road map , and stay tuned, because if you want to see a healthier, happier world, I believe you will be very excited to see the expansions benefitting your everyday life within the next few years.

    This previous weekend, QUP Corp’s CEO and two of our biggest crypto holders all met for the first time in New York City.

    Tensions were high – at least for our esteemed CEO who was about to receive his first-ever tattoo to demonstrate his immutable future as head of QUPCorp.

    Meanwhile, our two other guests were both long-time tattoo enthusiasts but were each flying in from foreign locales to see the big Apple for the first time – Mitchell from Canada, and Mikko all the way from Finland. Mitchell and Mikko got matching tattoos on their calves, and Chris took the tattoo plunge with a half-sleeve:

  • Introducing DrinQUP, New Tattoos in New York and more

    Brand New

    QUP Corp officially unveiled our first flagship application – DrinQUP (www.drinqup.com) in the first quarter of 2025. To introduce this project, which has been years in the making, we recently created a “white paper” (click on the word to access the document, or just go directly to www.drinqup.com/whitepaper). We would love for you to look it over to gain a better understanding of what we are trying to achieve.

    What Exactly is DrinQUP?

    DrinQUP exists to eliminate the need for people to wait in physical queues (aka lines). With our application, not only can you place your drink order without moving from your seat, but you also can choose to move forward in the queue if you are in a hurry and even be rewarded if your wait time is affected by events beyond your control. DrinQUP improves business efficiency, creates an interactive customer database to improve service and decreases the possibility of confrontational or uncomfortable situations when people are forced to play the waiting game together.

    You can load the free DrinQUP app on any smart phone, tablet or computer to interact directly with participating venues (such as bars, nightclubs, concerts or sporting events). DrinQUP uses a unique algorithm (patent pending) to simplify the drink ordering process and completely eliminate the need for you to stand in line as you await your beverage.

    The “QUP coin” is a crypto utility token that powers these transactions from the background. If you are already into crypto or interested, you can purchase QUP coins from online crypto exchanges such as Coinbase Wallet or Phantom Wallet. QUP Corp, the DrinQUP app, and other company products do not directly sell this coin to you or purchase it from you, as we are not exchanges ourselves. If this still sounds confusing, read our whitepaper or keep following these newsletters as I will be delving deeper into the intricacies of all kinds of crypto in future editions. If this is too much to take in or if you are just not a “crypto person,” fear not as the DrinQUP app does not require you to have any QUP coinage and can be run entirely with more standard means of currency, such as a credit card or PayPal.
