FOR.00—BUILT FOR EVENT COMPANIES

Sold out, with a waitlist to prove it.

Dated events with real seat counts — a 12-seat tour sells exactly 12, shows shoppers how many are left, and blocks the moment it fills. Deposits at booking, waitlists when you're full, and tickets, merch and menus for the venue, all in one admin.

From the announcement to the sold-out sign:

01

The event goes live

Date, times, seat count, deposit rules — published to your site, with AI images and schema markup that help it surface in search.

02

They pick a day and seats

Seat-counted slots, live remaining counts, deposits collected through your own Stripe account at booking.

03

They bring friends

Promo codes, loyalty points, referrals — the same engine your store uses, because it is the same engine.

04

You sell out

The moment a showing fills it blocks; the waitlist takes over, and a cancellation offers the seat to the next in line automatically.

05

They come back

After the event: the review request, the newsletter, and the next date already published by the content engine.

Tickets that know how many seats are left

The actual ticketing component. Every event carries its own seat count, every showing its own slots — sold out means sold out, and the waitlist catches the demand you used to lose.

Seats

2
3 open — the counter stops at capacity

Seat counts are enforced server-side — a 24-seat tour sells exactly 24, and the moment it fills, it blocks.

The real component, dressed for a sample brand — not a screenshot, not a mock-up

Where ticketed businesses bleed

The spreadsheet-and-DMs era

"Can I still get two seats for Saturday?" answered by hand, at night, in the wrong order. Real seat counts on your own site answer it instantly — and take the payment.

The list that got away

Every attendee is a CRM record — order history, next-event invites, the newsletter. The platform remembers who came, so you can sell them the next one.

The empty seat after a no-show

Cancellations release the seat and restock automatically, and the waitlist claims it. You stop eating the empty seat.

What's running behind it

Ticketed events

Dated events, seat-counted slots per showing, sold-out states, deposits — timezone-correct, overbook-proof.

Waitlists

Full event? They join in one step, and a cancellation triggers the claim — automatically.

Mixed catalogs

Tickets, merch and the venue menu on one site, one admin, one loyalty program — sell the tour and the t-shirt together.

Promos & loyalty

Percentage or fixed-amount codes, points per dollar, referral bonuses on a friend's first booking.

Bookings by chat & voice

"How many seats are left on the 7pm tour?" — answered live, and the booking taken in the same conversation.

The content engine

Event pages, city pages and daily news published for you — every event page another door from search.

Every piece above is part of the platform — one admin, one monthly price, run by us. See everything that's included →

The AI is the interface

What gets asked, answered instantly:

A guest, in chat

“"How many seats are left for the Friday 7 o'clock — and can I use my points on it?"”

A guest, out loud

“"Two tickets for the lantern tour on the 14th, please. Is the earlier showing still open?"”

You, to your assistant

“"Which showings this month still have seats, and what's the waitlist count on the sold-out ones?"”

From the Concept Lab

A split-screen day/night venue homepage — private-tour bookings, event architecture, and a hall that sells itself.

Questions event companies & venues ask

How do seat counts and waitlists work?

Every event has its own seat count and every showing its own slots. When a showing fills, it blocks — customers join a waitlist in one step, and when a cancellation frees seats, the waitlist gets the claim automatically.

Can we sell merch and food alongside tickets?

Yes — it's the same commerce engine: products, menus, and tickets can run side by side, one admin, one checkout, one loyalty program.

How do deposits work?

Card checkout through your own Stripe account at booking — a deposit per seat or pay-in-full, your rules. The platform never touches the funds.

What does it cost?

$1,497 one-time setup (starts with a $500 deposit) and $497/month — the site, ticketing, waitlists, chat and site voice, CRM, content engine, automations, hosting. Month-to-month; you own everything.
