How a show gets booked
We run shows from a small console instead of email threads. Four markers from offer to staffed night.
- We propose datesand send you an offer with set time, pay and gear notes.
- You confirm in one tapor counter, or decline. No email chains.
- The show publishes itselfto the public calendar the moment you confirm.
- Staff shifts get scheduledfor your night, so door and sound are covered, and staff confirm them.
Live demo with sample data. Confirm the offer, claim the open shift, propose a date. Nothing is sent anywhere.
