What it means
Means you’ve got cosy influence with someone who can make life easier. If you’re well in with the boss, the doorman, or the landlord, little favours happen, rules get flexible, and you get sorted quicker than the rest. It’s not exactly bribery, more that matey connection that magically turns ‘no chance’ into ‘yeah, go on then’.
Usage examples

"He's well in with the gaffer, that's why he always gets the easy shifts and a Friday finish."
"Get well in with the lady at the deli counter and you'll never wait for the good ham again."
"Don't worry about the booking, my cousin's well in with the manager so we'll get a table even if it's rammed."
