Featured add-on · Party Desk

How Party Desk works

Groups planning a birthday, team night or holiday party ask a few places at once, and the first clear answer usually wins. Party Desk adds Instant Party Quotes to your site and Google listing.

  1. A guest fills in a short form: date, headcount, occasion, food and drinks, and budget.
  2. Within minutes they get a branded quote, built only from your package menu and your prices.
  3. Big or unusual requests wait for you. We text you, and nothing is sent until you reply YES.
  4. Follow-ups go out automatically, so warm leads don't go cold.
  5. Every inquiry and booking is counted in your monthly report.

AI drafts the reply in seconds; you stay in control.

Include Party Desk in my free plan

Quotes are estimates from your own price rules; you confirm every booking. We never take payments; deposits go through the system you already use.

FAQ

Good questions.

Don't see yours? Ask it in the form. We'll answer with your plan.

Is the plan really free?

Yes. You get a 2-page marketing plan for your place: what Google's AI says about you today, 3 ready-to-post graphics from your own photos, quick fixes, a 5-week plan and Party Desk. No cost, no obligation, and it's yours to use even if you never hire us.

Do I need a new website?

No. Most clients keep their current site. We run the monthly marketing, your Google listing and AI search. If you want a new site, we build it as an optional one-time project.

How much of my time does this take?

About 5 minutes a week: send a few phone photos and reply YES to that week's plan.

Will you post things without asking?

Never. We draft everything, a real person checks it, and you approve by text. Only then does it go out.

Is there a contract?

No. It's month to month with no setup fees and no per-order fees. Cancel any month with a text.

Who owns the accounts?

You do. Your Instagram, Google listing, photos, domain and website stay in your name. If you stop, everything stays with you.

What is Party Desk?

Our add-on for private parties and groups. It gives your site and Google listing Instant Party Quotes: a guest fills in a short form and gets a branded quote within minutes, built only from your own packages and prices. Big or unusual requests wait for your YES by text, follow-ups go out automatically, and you confirm every booking. We never take payments.

Do you use AI?

Yes, for the busywork, like first drafts and research. A real Chicago person checks everything, and you approve it.

How do I know it's working?

We record your starting point first, then send a monthly report on Google calls, directions, party inquiries, bookings, reservations and AI answers.

What does it cost?

One simple monthly price for marketing, a separate add-on price for Party Desk, and a one-time price if you want a website. After your free plan and a 15-minute call, you get clear numbers.

Do you only work with bars?

No. We work with independent bars, restaurants, cafés, breweries and cocktail lounges across Chicago.
