The problem

Why venues & community halls are leaving high-fee venue SaaS

01

Enterprise fees and marketplace commissions

Venue tools like Tripleseat or Priava cost $150–$400+/month, while marketplaces like Peerspace take 15–20% commission on every booking.

02

Multi-space complexity

Ballrooms, boardrooms and terraces, with custom packages (catering, AV, decor) and both inquiry-approval and instant-deposit workflows.

03

Own your booking portal

Run it on your own WordPress site, or add it as a /book/ subfolder to Squarespace or Wix with Theme Lite.
