Customer stories
Real restaurants, venues, and catering companies using Event Captain to fill their calendars with corporate events.
Tipsy Putt · 4 locations across California
Tipsy Putt runs corporate events across four California venues, but the team was spending hours in tools like Instantly AI and ZoomInfo trying to run outreach themselves. Event Captain took over cold outreach and follow-up with past events, delivering measurable returns from both.
Axe Kickers · Seattle, Washington
Owner Keith always knew corporate events were the most profitable bookings, with bigger budgets, midweek revenue, and repeat potential, but the venue had no consistent pipeline of high-value leads. Event Captain delivered a steady flow of corporate leads and helped re-engage past event clients.
Old Town Putt · Fort Collins, Colorado
Owner Dana relied on weekend traffic and had few corporate bookings, leaving unused capacity during the week. Event Captain targeted planners to secure weekday and off-hour bookings, including full venue buyouts, and event sales grew 35% with more corporate bookings.
Trivia with Budds · Johnson City, Tennessee
With nightly shows and full days of corporate prep, finding new clients kept falling to the bottom of the list. Event Captain took over prospecting and outreach, breaking through to organizations the business had been trying to book for years.
Bananas' Axe Cabana · Orlando, Florida
Owner Stuart knew corporate events were the highest-value bookings, with bigger budgets, midweek dates, and repeat business, but had no reliable way to find and stay connected with planners. Event Captain filled the calendar with corporate events.
Golf 20Fore7 · Cotati, California
Founder Marc had strong offerings and a loyal customer base, but getting consistent visibility with nearby companies was an ongoing challenge. Event Captain ran structured outreach to nearby companies, planning teams, and community groups, expanding local awareness and increasing bookings.
Bearded Social House · North Charleston, South Carolina
Built for group experiences, team events, and corporate outings, the venue had demand but no reliable way to get in front of the planners booking team events. Event Captain unlocked a predictable pipeline of corporate event inquiries.
Library Square Public House · Vancouver, British Columbia
Game days filled the venue, but outside of sporting events demand was far less consistent. Event Captain implemented a structured outreach and follow-up system aimed at corporate planners, turning corporate interest into confirmed bookings.
Game On Berkeley · Berkeley, California
Private events were a clear growth lever, but identifying the right organizations and the correct contact inside each was difficult and time consuming. Event Captain handled that work, generating more private event bookings.
X-Golf Pittsford · Rochester, New York
Steady inbound interest had the venue covered, but growth was capped by a reactive pipeline with no clear way to reach the people inside local organizations who make event decisions. Event Captain ran turnkey outbound to HR leaders, office managers, and executive assistants, building a corporate events pipeline beyond inbound demand.
DC Breeze · Washington, DC
Growing corporate group bookings was a priority, but with day-to-day operations demanding attention, prospecting fell to the bottom of the list. Event Captain took over research and outreach to corporate event organizers, building a consistent pipeline.
SD Pop Up Mini Golf · San Diego, California
Most bookings came from occasional inbound inquiries and word of mouth, with no structured system for introducing the mobile mini-golf experience to companies. Event Captain connected with HR managers, office managers, and planners across San Diego, securing new corporate event bookings.
Voodoo Cellar Boise · Boise, Idaho
The cellar already had the ingredients for memorable corporate and private events, and was already booking them, just not at the volume the team wanted. Event Captain's proactive system doubled private event bookings.
Summerville Burrito Co. · Charleston, South Carolina
The business generated most of its catering leads through third-party platforms like ezCater, which worked but left it dependent on people who already knew the brand. Event Captain reduced that dependence and started building its own event pipeline.
Tropics Shave Ice · Oakland, California
Tropics Shave Ice brings authentic Hawaiian shave ice to corporate events, weddings, and private parties across the Bay Area. They’ve served 150+ events, including teams at Google, Cisco, and Workday.
From neighborhood restaurants to multi-city entertainment groups, operators use Event Captain to fill their calendars with corporate events.
