Bookings, private events and orders that go straight to you

Event inquiries that end in an email thread, rewards that skip online orders, a booking engine on someone else's page. We build the layer your register or engine does not have.

Boulder County has 729 restaurants, 43 event venues and 28 breweries and distilleries (BLS, 2025 annual average). Keep your register and your booking engine. We build the layer beside them, on a fixed price from $4,950 with the ship date written into the contract.

Three problems we hear from owners and managers

Each one pairs the problem with the build that fixes it, and the tool you keep.

Event requests that end in an email thread

A form, then email, then a deposit taken by hand. We build an inquiry form that checks your calendar, sends a priced quote with a valid-until date, takes the deposit by link and shows you the pipeline. Your website and calendar stay. If Tripleseat or HoneyBook already runs this cleanly, buy the tool.

Online orders that do not count toward your rewards

Toast Loyalty counts online orders when the guest account is attached, at about $50 a month. If that works for you, it is a setting, not a build. We build when you keep your own rewards program, sell gift cards that work at every location, or span more than one system.

A booking engine on someone else's page

Packages, add-ons and wedding or group requests ride on email because the engine cannot sell them. We build a direct page beside the engine you pay for, which still holds rates and availability. Listing-site commission starts near 15%, so read your rate-parity terms before you promote a direct rate.

Focused: half at signing, half when your checklist passes. Ordering or an inn booking layer: Complete, $9,850.

Hospitality and events questions

Short answers, with the prices we checked.

What is the best booking software for small hotels?

The engine you already use is probably fine for rates and availability. Lodgify lists $26, $47 and $68 a month with no booking fee, and Cloudbeds quotes by request (checked 2026-10-16). The gap is usually the direct front door: packages, add-ons and group requests the engine cannot sell.

How do breweries take private event bookings?

Most take them by form and email, with a deposit by hand. A better flow checks the calendar, sends a priced quote with a valid-until date and takes the deposit by link. Tripleseat lists from $375 per venue per month and HoneyBook from $29 (checked 2026-10-16). If either already runs your flow cleanly, buy it.

How much commission do marketplaces take?

Published figures we read on 2026-10-15: DoorDash 15%, 25% or 30% of an order by plan, and 6% on pickup. Booking.com 10% to 25%, about 15% on average, plus a payment fee. Eventbrite 3.7% plus $1.79 a ticket plus 2.9% of the order. These are vendor-reported, not a quote for your account.

Can direct booking work next to my current system?

Yes. The layer sits on top. Your engine keeps rates and availability, and your register keeps the kitchen. We check the access your system gives outside tools before we quote. If access is closed, the scope becomes a form plus an owner view, and we say so before the quote.

Does it pay for itself?

Cash alone rarely favors a build over a tool. For a venue with a rental fee of $6,500 to $10,000, a Focused build with a year of the Essential care plan is $6,738, which one rental covers (0.7 to 1.0 of a rental). A Complete build is $11,638 in year one, or 1.2 to 1.8 rentals. If Tripleseat or HoneyBook runs your flow cleanly, buy the tool. A rewards or gift-card fix that is a $50 setting is not a build either.

When should we start?

Visits to Rocky Mountain National Park in February run about 14% of July's (five-year average of National Park Service counts as compiled by a third party, 2021 to 2025). In Lyons and Estes Park, the quiet months are the time to build. Sign a Blueprint between November and April and ship before Memorial Day. We avoid a cutover in season.
