A public inquiry page, a lead pipeline, proposals with a room fee and food and beverage minimum, typed e-signature contracts, Stripe deposits paid to your own account, and BEOs with a print-ready view.
What does VenueSprocket not do?
VenueSprocket doesn't have room-by-room calendars or capacities, seating charts or floor plans, calendar sync, POS integrations, itemized menu-package builders, or automated follow-up emails to customers.
