Built for venues

From inquiry to final invoice, on rails

Venues live by deposits and dates. A double-booked Saturday or an uncollected balance erases a month of margin. This edition gives you a real pipeline, with the money side automated at every step.

Bookings & holdsA calendar per hall and room. Tentative holds with an expiry, confirmed bookings that block the date, setup and teardown buffers.
Contracts & e-signSend the contract with the payment schedule inside it. The client signs and pays the deposit in one step; the date flips to confirmed.
Deposits months aheadSet your terms once: 25% to book, 50% at 90 days, balance at 14 days. The platform invoices, charges the card on file and reminds.
Vendor payoutsPay the florist, DJ, security and contract staff by ACH from the event's own ledger. Every event shows revenue, payouts and margin.
Final billingBar tab, overtime, extra chairs and the damage deposit land on the final invoice. Settle by card, ACH or pay link.
Room & resource calendarHalls, bridal suite, kitchen, parking and A/V on one view, so a second event never claims the room the first one needs.
AI, in venue terms

What the AI does for a venue

Describe the rule once in plain English. The workflow builder assembles it and asks before switching it on.

Follows up on the inquiry before the other venue doesA tour request lands at 10pm. The receptionist replies in two minutes, offers tour slots and books one. Your sales lead sees it in the morning.
Releases holds that go quietA hold is about to expire. The client gets a reminder three days before and a final note the day of. Silence, and the date opens up automatically.
Collects the balance before the eventFourteen days out, the final invoice goes out with an ACH link. Unpaid at seven days: a text, then a call task for the manager.
Asks for the review the morning afterThe client gets a thank-you and a review link. Five-star replies get routed to your website; anything less goes to the owner first.
Payments built in

Stop losing a card fee on every wedding

A venue's tickets are few and large. That is where a percentage card fee hurts most and where dual pricing and bank payments do the most. Deposits go on a card on file; balances move by flat-fee ACH or at the posted card price under a compliant dual-pricing program. Send a statement and we show the math on your own numbers.

  • Compliant dual pricing on large tickets: both prices posted up front, within card-brand and state rules
  • Flat per-item ACH fee on every invoice instead of a percentage; the venue decides whether the payer covers it
  • Returned payments: the processor's return fee passes through at cost, with two automatic retries
  • Card on file for the deposit schedule, with smart retries
  • Interchange plus one small, disclosed margin on cards; we show you the math on your statement
  • Countertop terminal or mobile reader for the bar and day-of charges, pay links for everything else
  • Each venue holds its own merchant account, in its own name, with our processing partner

Payroll for your staff runs on the same login — see payroll.

Your stored cards and client records move with you as tokens and exports if you ever leave. Dual-pricing and cash-discount programs are subject to card-brand rules and state law and are not available everywhere.

Plans for venues

Which plan a venue picks

Most venues run on Pro at $299/mo ($249/mo billed annually): the booking pipeline, funnels and landing pages for tours, workflow automation, the AI receptionist, reviews and unlimited users for sales and events staff. Pro is credited back at higher processing volumes. Basic is $99/mo, and while you process with Merch FinTech we credit it back on your monthly processing statement, so the software is on us; it fits a single hall that needs a calendar, contracts, invoices and texting. Compare plans. Need it built around how you run? Custom builds from $1,999.

A dedicated brand for event halls and caterers is next on our brand roadmap. This edition is live today, and wedding halls attached to Jewish institutions are served by 613OS.

FAQ

Questions from venue managers

Can clients pay a five-figure balance without a big card fee?
Yes. Every invoice offers ACH at a flat per-item fee instead of a percentage, and the venue decides whether the payer covers it. For clients who want to use a card anyway, a compliant dual-pricing program posts the cash price and the card price up front. Send a statement and we show the math on your own numbers.
Does it prevent double bookings?
Yes. Holds and confirmed bookings block the room in real time for everyone on your team, with setup and teardown buffers you set per room. A second event cannot claim the bridal suite or the kitchen while the first one holds it.
Can I automate my deposit schedule?
Define the terms once, for example 25% to book, 50% at 90 days and the balance at 14 days. The platform invoices, charges the card on file or sends the ACH link, reminds, and flags anything still open to the manager.
Can I pay vendors from the platform?
Yes. Outgoing ACH pays the florist, DJ, security and contract staff from the same ledger the event's revenue lives in, so every event shows revenue, payouts and margin on one screen.
What hardware do we need for the bar?
A countertop terminal or a mobile reader. Dual pricing shows the card and cash price on the screen, tips prompt after the amount, and the night's bar tab can post to the event's final invoice or settle on the spot. See hardware.
