How Listings Work

How Venues Get Listed

Many venues start from publicly available information. When a host claims their listing, they confirm the details so you're working with accurate, up-to-date information.

Listed

Venues are listed using publicly available information about the restaurant and its event spaces.

Host Claims It

The venue's owner or manager claims their listing to manage bookings, pricing, and availability.

Details Confirmed

The host reviews and confirms photos, capacity, amenities, and event details for accuracy.

Bookable

Claimed venues show a "Claimed" badge so planners know the host is actively managing inquiries.

Payment Security

Your Money is Protected

Secure Payment Processing

All payments are processed through Stripe, a PCI Level 1 certified payment processor with bank-level security.

Payment Hold System

Payments are held securely until 24 hours after your event completes successfully, ensuring both parties are protected.

Refund Guarantee

If a venue doesn't match its listing or a host cancels, you're protected by our Guest Refund Policy with full reimbursement.

Fraud Prevention

Advanced fraud detection systems monitor all transactions 24/7 to protect against unauthorized activity.

Insurance & Liability

We're building dedicated insurance protection for hosts and guests. Until it launches, we recommend hosts maintain their own liability coverage and guests consider event insurance for larger gatherings.

Host Protection Insurance

Planned — property damage & liability coverage

We're developing Host Protection Insurance, intended to cover hosts at no additional cost for:

Property damage caused by guests
Liability coverage for injuries on property
Third-party liability protection
Claims support

* Coming soon — not yet active. Hosts should maintain their own liability insurance in the meantime.

Guest Liability Coverage

Planned — protection for you and your attendees

We're building optional liability coverage that event organizers will be able to add at booking:

General liability for your event
Accidental damage protection
Certificate of insurance on request
Optional additional coverage upgrades

* Coming soon — not yet active. For now, you may need to arrange your own event insurance for certain event types.
