Why Perfect Venue?
- Early Impact, Developed Stability: Be one of the founding hires at a startup that’s already profitable.
- Proven Product: 1k+ paying customers, 50+ local to SF, and a #1 ranking on G2.
- Solve a Real Problem: Work directly with local restaurants and venues to help them streamline their most high yield, but often unorganized revenue stream - private events.
About Us
Private events and catering can significantly increase restaurant & event space revenue, but many venues are stuck using outdated, error-prone manual processes - unlike the sophisticated software employed by large chains. Perfect Venue is leveling the playing field by offering local restaurants & venues an affordable, user-friendly, event management tool to help local them compete with big chains. This is just the start, with plans to expand into a broader marketplace that includes other event services (DJs, florists, etc).
