Getting started: new venue

Here's the path from signup to your first booked band.

Run the signup wizard and pick the Venue

position type. Then claim or create your venue profile: stage size,

house PA/backline, load-in details, address, genres you book.

Step 2 — Finish the venue profile (15 min)

bands to trust you, and complete venues get more proposals.

bands must agree to them before they can propose.

realistic dates.

Create venue slots — date + start/end time — for the nights you

want live music. Slots can be open for any band to claim, or

approval-based. Confirmed bookings lock the slot; expired holds

auto-release. Bands browse open slots and book straight in.

Incoming band proposals land in Bookings. Each shows the band card

(demo reel, draw estimate, genres), the proposed date, and whether they

agreed to your house rules. Approve or decline; use

counter-offers to negotiate date, pay, or slot. Your

response badge tracks how fast you answer — bands notice.

The settlement flow records door take, guarantee, and payouts so

both sides see the same numbers. File a no-show report if a band

bails — there's a dispute process, and it's honest, not automatic.

No proposals coming in. Complete the profile (photos + typical pay

matter most), publish open slots, and check your response badge — slow

venues get skipped.

Bands propose dates I'm closed. Set blackout dates and keep your

slots current; the free-bands board only shows what you publish.

A band no-showed. File the report from the show page; the band gets

one response and a moderator records the outcome.
