Venue profile completeness
Bands decide whether to pitch your room in about ten seconds. The
venue profile holds everything a booker needs to say yes: capacity,
stage size, PA and backline, load-in door width, pay, curfew, and
genres. The Profile X/8 badge on your venue page shows how much of
it you've filled in — complete profiles get more (and better-matched)
booking requests.
Filling in your profile
- Open your venue page and click Edit venue profile (owners and
managers only), or go to your venue's Calendar → Manage slots
→ Edit venue profile.
- Work through the sections:
- Basics — capacity, phone, the genres you book, and genres you
will never book.
- Stage & sound — stage width/depth in feet, whether a house PA
is provided, what backline is there, load-in door width in inches,
sound curfew, and any dB noise limit.
- Typical pay — how you usually pay (guarantee, door deal, door +
guarantee, percentage of bar) plus the typical payout range.
- Load-in instructions — parking, door code, elevator, and notes.
These are shown to bands on their confirmed bookings.
- Click Save venue profile.
What the badge means
Each of the 8 items is either filled or missing: capacity, stage size,
PA/backline, load-in door width, typical pay, sound curfew, genres, and
address/city. Hover the badge to see exactly what's still missing.
Tips
- Measure the load-in door once with a tape measure — bands with a full
drum kit and a Hammond will thank you.
- If your pay varies a lot by night of the week, put the typical
weekend range and explain the rest in your house rules.
FAQ
Do bands see incomplete fields?
No — only filled fields show on the venue page. The badge is visible to
everyone, so a 3/8 badge quietly tells bands the listing is thin.
I run several venues. Do I fill this in per venue?
Yes — each venue row has its own profile.
