For restaurants & venues

“Friday is packed. Tuesday pays for nothing.”

Markster runs the revenue that is actually sellable: private events, catering, and corporate accounts - as one operated system of outreach, enquiry response, and follow-up. A named Markster operator owns the cadence; your team runs the floor.

The nights nobody sells

Every service gets a prep list, a line check, and a manager. The empty private room gets none of that.

A service on the floor
  • A prep list, a line check, and a manager on
  • Every cover accounted for
  • Standards held from open to close
Your event and catering revenue
  • Event enquiries answered a day and a half later
  • Corporate accounts that booked once and were never called
  • Slow nights and a private room nobody is selling

Nobody has to teach you hospitality. What is missing is that nobody is selling the empty room.

How it runs

The work of a revenue team, run as eight connected Programs.100+ recurring revenue jobs all in your voice. A named Markster operator owns the result and the cadence; you approve the plan, the voice, and the sequences.

Build it, or run it

A growth function is expensive to build and manage.

In-house it’s multiple jobs to hire, ramp, tool, and manage. Most restaurants scope Markster against one growth hire, not a full in-house build.

A whole growth functionquarters to build
Run it as one system
No headcount, no ramp✓
No separate channel handoffs✓
No contract, cancel any month✓
Target missed after ramp: fee waived, capped at 60 days✓
This is for you if
  • Your food, service, and room are genuinely good
  • Event and catering enquiries go slow or unanswered in service
  • You want corporate and event revenue sold without hiring a full-time events manager
Not a fit if
  • You mainly want more walk-in covers or delivery volume
  • You want bookings at any cost regardless of margin
  • You expect guaranteed revenue regardless of the season

Restaurant and hospitality questions

What restaurant owners ask first.

Is this about getting more walk-in covers? +
No, and that is deliberate. We operate the revenue you can actually sell into and forecast - private events, catering, and corporate accounts. If more walk-ins is what you want, we are not the right fit.
Will this create service we cannot deliver? +
No. The plan is built around your kitchen capacity, your room, and your calendar. You approve the event types, the minimums, and the pace before anything runs.
Do you replace our reservation or POS system? +
No. We operate around what you already use. Your guest data, bookings, and sales history stay yours.
Who responds to the event enquiries? +
We run the response and follow-up so nothing sits for a day and a half - the fast first reply, the sequencing, the reminders, the record. Your team runs the site visit, the tasting, and the contract.
Can you work across several venues in a group? +
Yes. Multiple venues, each with its own audience, calendar, and capacity, is a normal shape for the plan.
What does it cost? +
It is fit-based, not one-size. Most operators scope it against one events or sales hire, not a full team. A simple test: if a couple of additional events a quarter would not comfortably cover the fee, we are probably not a match yet.
Our guarantee

Sell the empty room, not just the busy night.

We agree the target, the ramp period, and the acceptance criteria up front. If Markster misses the target after the ramp while you hold up your end, your monthly management fee is waived until we recover the miss, capped at 60 days. Pre-paid, no contract, cancel any month. A named Markster operator owns the result and the cadence; you approve the plan, the voice, and the sequences, new plays always come to you first, and you can steer or veto anything, anytime.
