AI sales agent for eatertainment venues group and private event inquiries answered while the floor is full.

Bowling lanes, golf and games lounges, arcade bars, axe throwing, karaoke and other eatertainment venues sell more than walk-in play. Corporate team outings, holiday parties, client nights, fundraisers, rehearsal dinners and buyouts make up the group and private event side of the business, and those inquiries arrive in the evenings and on weekends, when your team is running a packed floor. A planner comparing three venues for a 60-person holiday party books the one that answers first with a clear package. VenueX gives eatertainment event sales teams an AI Sales Agent that replies to every group and private event inquiry in about 10 seconds, 24/7, by email, SMS and web chat, answers from your approved knowledgebase, routes each lead to the right salesperson by event type and books a call or walkthrough on your calendar, while quotes, deposits and contracts stay with your team.

Answered while your team runs the floor

Group and private event inquiries arrive on Friday nights, Saturday afternoons and after close, exactly when your staff is busiest with guests. VenueX answers every inquiry in about 10 seconds, 24/7, by email, SMS and web chat, so planners hear back while they are still comparing venues.

No. 02

Group packages, explained the way you sell them

Lanes, bays, game rooms, private lounges and full buyouts each come with their own capacities, packages and rules. VenueX answers from a knowledgebase your team approves and checks with Agent Testing, including what each group package includes, age and attire policies and how food and drinks work.

No. 03

Corporate, social and buyouts on the right track

A 12-person birthday, a 60-person holiday party and a full-venue company buyout need different owners. Routing rules send each inquiry to the salesperson who owns that event type, with date, headcount, space and budget range already gathered.

No. 04

Holiday party season, covered

Corporate holiday parties are booked in a short window, and planners send the same request to several venues at once. VenueX replies to each one in about 10 seconds, follows up by email and SMS with every lead that goes quiet and keeps open dates in front of planners until they decide.

No. 05

Minimums and deposits stay with your team

VenueX explains the food and beverage minimums and package ranges you approve in your knowledgebase. Custom quotes, date holds, deposits and contracts go to your team with the full conversation attached, and calls or walkthroughs are booked on your Google Calendar or Outlook calendar.
