The operating system for live events

Close the night. Know your numbers.

Bar, door, crew and payouts. One shared show record, with a different view for every person behind the night. Follow the money from the whole portfolio to the receipt.

The whole idea

The whole night's money in one net.

Tickets, bar, merch, payouts, sponsors, grants — every dollar from the night lands in one place. And every number on the page drills down to the receipt behind it, so "where did that go?" takes four taps, not four days.

One system that goes as deep as you need — never 40 tabs of admin.

Tonight, without VenueCircuit

The close is five artifacts and nobody trusts any of them.

Drawer counts on the back of a set list
Ticket totals as a screenshot in the group text
POS exports retyped into a spreadsheet
A settlement that lives on one party's laptop
A shoebox of receipts for the bookkeeper

Bring the pieces into one reviewed close-out. The demo carries the saved result into the venue P&L, with the night behind every entry.

Why you can trust the numbers

No hand in the till.

Most “free” venue software is free because it makes money on your ticket sales. The system that keeps a venue's books shouldn't be owned by a company with a hand in the till.

No ticketing or payment processing No per-person or per-order fees Future packaging is illustrative only

Optional ticketing is a future concept only. The proof of concept does not sell tickets or process payments.

Concept for independent rooms

Imagine the workflow.

A fictional exploration of how a live-event operating system could work.

The owner, watching the room.
2am. Counting the drawer.
Every bottle accounted for.
The green room, between sets.
Load-in. The handshake.
Doors. The wristband.
Pick your seat

Built for everyone in the room.

One shared record — the venue, the promoter, the artist, the crew and the label each see their own side. Tap a role to open the live demo from that seat.

1
Book the show
Create an event — venue, artist, deal, doors. It's on the calendar and the pipeline instantly.
2
Run the night
Review tickets, bar, staff and merch in one show record. The demo provides modeled inputs to work with.
3
Settle & see
One tap settles both sides and rolls into your P&L. Search any night, any number, any time.

Show day runs on a phone, not a laptop.

At 6pm you're at the dock, not a desk. The incumbents ship mobile that's read-only — or no app at all. VenueCircuit is built phone-first and verified at 390px on every release.

Edit the day sheet from the dock — set times, contacts, and changes push to everyone on the show.
Close the night from the bar: drawer counts, door, payouts — thumb-sized targets, no pinching.
Add to your home screen and it launches like an app — full-screen, offline-tolerant, instant.
Paperwork, streamlined

From handshake to books.

Follow the sample show from offer to settlement. See which details carry forward and where someone still needs to check the work.

Advance
One live advance both sides edit — deal, doors, backline, hospitality.
Day sheet
Print-ready, generated from the advance. Post it backstage.
Close
Your GM confirms the night once — most of it already filled in.
Settlement
Artist and promoter settle from the same numbers. Everyone signs.
Your books
The saved night feeds the demo P&L, ready to export for accounting.

Future-workspace example

What a future setup could involve.

See the kinds of information a future venue workspace could need. This shared demo does not start a pilot or collect business records.

Venue details
A future workspace could start with a name, capacity, rooms, and a default house deal.
Service connections
A future build may connect POS, ticketing, or accounting systems. This demo connects none of them.
Team roles
The demo previews possible roles; it does not invite people or create a team workspace.
Example show data
The screens use shared fictional numbers. Do not upload recaps, spreadsheets, or any real record.

Nightly close

Close the night from one shared record.

Your GM enters the numbers once — bar, box office, staff, payouts — and the night is closed. VenueCircuit generates the venue P&L and the promoter's recap from the same entry. No more recap emails at 2am.

VenueCircuit night settlement — venue P&L and promoter recap from one entry
Live P&L

See the year. Open the night.

Every settled night folds into a live week / month / quarter / year. Drill any number down to the atom — total expenses → security → the contractor → the shift. Export the recorded figures for accounting. And because door history finally joins bar-per-head, you can see which genres and nights actually make money — book-again verdicts, not vibes.

Preview the concept

Stock control

Know what’s on the shelf.

Compare counted and expected stock, review each shortfall at its modeled unit cost, then receive an order into the same venue’s inventory and ledger. Try it with the saved sample counts; no POS provider is connected to the public demo.

Explore a modeled grant and sponsor pipeline alongside the venue’s operating picture. Opportunities and fit scores are illustrative; real matching and outreach need verification.

Built for the whole crew

One show. Everyone on the same page.

Tonight, settlement happens on one party's spreadsheet — handed to the other side as finished fact. Disputes are unwinnable because there's no shared record. Here, a show gets booked and instantly everyone's linked: the bar, box office, sound, security, the tour. Each person contributes their part, watches the same math, and signs off when it's done.

Settlement is two-sided — the same numbers on both screens, never "their spreadsheet says."
When it's agreed, the settlement locks — stamped with who signed and when.
Your bar manager sees the bar. Your box office sees the door. Nobody digs through what isn't theirs.
The night isn't closed until everyone signs off. Every number is traceable to a person.
