The Problem
Does This Sound Like You?
Your event room sits empty half the week.
You answer the same questions on repeat.
Your event margins are inconsistent.
You’re losing leads to competitors.
You waste hours emailing tire-kickers.
You don't have time to do it all yourself.
Before GM SideKick™
The Old Way
You depend on…
• Phone calls, PDFs & email chains
• Returning voicemails after close
• Manual quotes & guessed pricing
• Hoping people remember to follow up
• Word-of-mouth & one-time customers
The result?
✕ Lost bookings
✕ Empty banquet rooms
✕ Slow weekdays
✕ Buried in admin work
✕ Revenue left on the table

New event revenue in 6 months
The Copper Room
A 90-seat neighborhood spot with an empty back room turned it into a booked-out private dining program — birthdays, corporate dinners, and rehearsal parties now fill Tuesday through Thursday.

More profit per event
Saffron & Vine
Switched from guesswork quotes to calculated event pricing. Same room, same staff — over three times the profit per event, with fewer discount requests.

Of hosts rebook within 12 months
Fig & Barrel Tavern
Automated follow-up and rebooking turned one-time hosts into regulars. Two out of three event hosts now book again within the year — holidays sell out by October.

This Is For You If…
✓ You’re the GM of a restaurant doing $2M+ annually.
✓ You already host private or semi-private events.
✓ You can seat 25+ guests.
✓ You want more profitable events—not just more inquiries.
✓ You’re within 25 miles of Columbus.
This Is NOT For You If…
✗ You don’t host events.
✗ You’re looking for generic marketing.
✗ You can’t accommodate larger groups.
✗ You’re looking for more dining traffic instead of event revenue.
✗ You want another tool to manage yourself.
Imagine This…
It’s Tuesday morning. You open your calendar. A corporate lunch booked overnight. A rehearsal dinner paid its deposit. Last year’s baby shower just rebooked — and nobody on your team chased a single one.
That’s what GM SideKick™ was built to do.

What GMs Are Saying
Loved by the People Running the Room
We went from maybe one private event a month to twelve booked in our first quarter. The follow-up alone pays for itself — I don’t chase leads anymore, they chase us.
12 events booked in 90 days

GM, The Copper Room — Columbus, OH
The pricing calculator changed how we quote. Our average event check went up 34% because we finally stopped guessing what the room was worth.

Inquiries used to sit in a shared inbox for days. Now every lead gets a reply in under a minute, and repeat hosts rebook without me lifting a finger.

GM, Fig & Barrel Tavern
We’d never done private events before. The microsite made us look like we’d been doing them for years — planners book off the photos before they ever call. 21 events our first season.

GM, North High Provisions — Columbus, OH
I used to find event inquiries two days old in a shared inbox. Now the reply goes out before I even see the lead — our close rate doubled and I got my evenings back.

December sold out by Halloween. The rebooking messages go to last year’s hosts before they even start looking — we filled the whole holiday calendar without a single ad.
Holidays sold out by Oct 31
