Why most venues are still stuck in 2010—and what we’re doing about it
Let’s face it: despite being at the heart of every great event, most venues are operating in organized chaos.
You know what we’re talking about:
Bookings still made through back-and-forth emails and Facebook Messenger.
Seat assignments maintained through color-coded Excel files passed between staff.
Confirmations done via screenshots and forwarded voice notes on Viber.
Crucial files—contracts, permits, seating charts—scattered across hard drives, phones, and random cloud folders.
It works… until it doesn’t.
The Hidden Costs of Chaos
Without a centralized system, venues deal with:
❌ Double Bookings – One team books a birthday. Another books a wedding. Same day. Same hall.
❌ Lost Revenue – Overbooked sections, underutilized spaces, or missed upsell opportunities (like VIP upgrades or merch booths).
❌ Frustrated Teams – Staff chasing files, reconciling schedules, and troubleshooting last-minute conflicts—every single week.
❌ No Real-Time Visibility – Managers don’t know what’s booked until someone calls or checks manually.
And in a world that expects digital speed and accuracy, that’s just not good enough.

Why This Matters in 2025
