THE PEOPLE BEHIND A GREAT NIGHT
Everything it takes to make that moment happen.
An agreed date. A published bill. The ticket in a guest’s hand. The team on the door. Soupy gives the work around the show a connected home, without losing who owns each decision.

Step through a fictional night. The controls change this example; they never create bookings, send messages or take payment.

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.
Find the number the room needs.
Find your show’s break-even point, then test a different turnout. Keep the money your venue retains separate from the ticket’s face value.
How this is calculated
Paid tickets = floor(sellable capacity × paid occupancy). Contribution = paid tickets × (retained ticket revenue − other attendee cost + retained extras contribution) − fixed show costs. Break-even tickets = round up(fixed costs ÷ contribution per paid attendee).
Contribution is after the costs entered, before any excluded overhead. Ancillary contribution excludes included items already counted in ticket revenue and money belonging to other sellers. Complimentary admissions are outside paid occupancy; account for their costs in fixed costs.
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.
Can an artist sell merchandise with the ticket?
Configured Shared Add-ons support merchandise variants and presales for collection. Eligible seller profiles can receive their own direct charges. Shipping is not part of this collection workflow.
Does a Talent offer reserve the artist?
An offer does not reserve the diary until accepted. Public lineups are reviewed and published separately; a profile edit does not silently rewrite the advertised bill.
Can guests use their phones at the door?
The Web Wallet provides the guest ticket surface. PDF and Apple/Google Wallet options depend on the purchased ticket policy and configured issuers. Check-in retains the event’s device and operator permissions.
Does Soupy pay the artists automatically?
Talent keeps agreement, invoice and payment evidence organised. Provider-funded artist payouts are not implied by recording an invoice or a payment made externally.
