About Perfect Venue

Private events and catering make up about a third of restaurant revenue and are often the highest-margin revenue stream. However, many restaurants manage this critical revenue stream using home-brewed manual processes that rely on poorly organized spreadsheets, cumbersome Word templates, and handwritten credit card authorizations. Errors can be costly and severely harm a restaurant’s bottom line. In short, restaurants are managing a sales process without a CRM and losing money as a result.

Big restaurant chains have already recognized this and are using event management software solutions that are decades old, complicated, and expensive. This puts local restaurants between a rock and a hard place when it comes to managing their most profitable revenue stream.

We’re changing that. Perfect Venue exists to help local restaurants compete with big chains. We do that by providing local restaurants with an affordable and beautifully designed tool that makes booking events effortless.

Our event management software is just the beginning. We plan to build a marketplace (à la Airbnb, OpenTable) to help guests book restaurants and expand to other types of venues (Hotels, Event Centers) and other types of businesses (Caterers, Florists) in the future.

We may be biased, but there has never been a better time to join our team. We have a strong product-market fit, with hundreds of customers nationwide and the backing of top-tier investors. Despite this success, we are still a small team, which means that you will have an outsized impact on our ability to achieve our mission and a lot of autonomy.
