More evenings per host
Tables, rhythm and late-arrival rules are set once and reused, so a format can run every week instead of once a month.
BUSINESS MODEL · LIVE PRICING
Revenue grows
with every
well-run evening.
We earn a commission on tickets, plans for hosts and venues, small add-ons and a guest subscription. Orchestration is what moves the volume underneath: more evenings per host, more guests per evening, more guests who come back.
HOW WE EARN
Five streams.
One of them carries the model.

- Prices mirror the product’s commercial configuration. During the beta (6 months) plans, add-ons and Plus are waived and a 5% base commission applies. Founding organizers and venues receive 36 months of plan access, subject to approval.
- Venue hire flows between host and venue; MatchQuest takes no fee on it today. Payment processing is shown separately and is not counted as revenue.

These are hypotheses, and the pilot measures them
Evenings per host, paid guests per evening and the 60-day return rate are the three numbers every pilot reports. If they don’t move, the scenarios move down with them.
WHY THE LEVERS MOVE
Less effort per evening.
More reasons to come back.
Bigger rooms per host
Rotating tables on the guests’ phones let one host run twenty or more guests without extra floor staff.
Guests who return
Private choices and mutual chat give guests a reason to book the next evening, which lowers what it costs to fill a room.

- Venue hire from organizer bookings comes on top for venues and is not modelled as MatchQuest revenue. Bar and kitchen spend by guests is the venue’s and is not modelled either.
