THE PEOPLE BEHIND A GREAT NIGHT
Good timing belongs behind the scenes, too.
The early show and the late show share an evening, not every detail. Keep the comedians, capacities, guest arrangements and recurring programme clear, so everyone knows which night they are working on.

A little less guesswork
Put your numbers
to work.
Change the assumptions. Watch the result. See what a different week could look like, on your terms.
Work the whole programme.
One busy show tells part of the story. Compare a whole week, with show costs scaling alongside admissions.
Each format has its own nights, shows, turnout and costs. Count each performance once.
How this is calculated
For each show format: paid tickets per show = floor(sellable capacity × paid occupancy). Weekly contribution = nights per week × shows per night × (paid tickets per show × (retained ticket revenue − other attendee cost) − fixed costs per show). Add the independently costed formats for the programme total.
Use one or two show formats with their own nights, capacity, costs and turnout. Do not enter the same performance in both formats. Contribution is before excluded overhead and does not include bar income. Guarantees counted in fixed costs must not also be deducted from retained ticket revenue. Complimentary admissions are not paid tickets.
Give the hours back to the room.
Model the time your team spends on recurring work. Use totals for all your sites combined, and keep each task distinct.
Use the hourly employment cost you want to value, including any employer costs. No employment or wage rates are assumed.
What does your current software cost?
Optional. List each tool once, using its monthly cost across all your sites. For an annual bill, enter the monthly equivalent.
Current spending only. This does not assume Soupy replaces any tool or predict a saving. Kept separate from staff time and venue economics.
How this is calculated
Weekly time = task frequency × people involved × minutes per task ÷ 60, summed across the listed tasks. Time released = baseline hours − scenario hours. Annual time value = hours released × hourly cost × operating weeks.
Time value is not cash saved, a staffing reduction or a promise of what Soupy will deliver. A longer scenario takes more time and produces a negative result. Do not count the same work in two tasks. This result stays separate from venue sales and contribution.
ONE VENUE. OR THE NEXT CHAPTER.
Keep your character.
Connect your operation.
For owners
Start with the work that matters most. See the relevant products and work through your own commercial assumptions.
For the team
Clear running orders, shared context and access that follows each person’s responsibility.
For growing groups
Keep businesses, sites and teams organised, with deliberate permissions and the right operating context.
Is Talent built for comedians?
Yes. Talent supports comedians as well as musicians, bands and DJs. Event billing can distinguish MC, Headliner and Support; agreed performance times remain separate.
Can early and late shows have different capacities?
Separate event occurrences retain their own configured ticket inventory and operating details. A recurring Series connects the programme without making every date identical.
Can a ticket include a table booking?
Eligible configured tickets can include one table booking, subject to availability and the event’s setup. This does not imply assigned auditorium seating or unrestricted multi-stop bookings.
Will purchases automatically subscribe guests to marketing?
No. A ticket purchase does not create marketing consent. Audience follow-up follows the person’s current permission and your configured sender and products.
