Manage Guests

Table guest-lists and relevant information are synced between bookings and operations to reduce reliance on spreadsheets. History, preference and notes are available to staff so that they can be as personable as possible.

Organise Spends

Lifetime and average spends are tracked across all visits and sites to help teams identify their VIPs and anticipate their needs.

Announce Arrivals

As a guest checks in at the door, assigned staff know instantly and can be prepared.  Package inclusions, bottle or set-up preferences can be actioned instantly removing package inclusion printouts and manual spend calculation, ensuring the table is ready by the time the guest reaches it.

Organise Bookings

Bookings specifically designed for VIP.  Packages, event information, table availability and guest-list sync with actual inventory to reduce miscommunications between bookers, and operations staff. Customers are kept informed of changes to their booking through email, SMS or wallet notifications.

List of reservations with names, phone numbers, guest counts, status, table locations, and amounts: Tom at Rooftop C1 confirmed for $800, Bodhi at Bodhi's Desk confirmed for $100, Tom at Table C4 finished for $50, and Tom at Table C1 seated for $600.

Sell Booths Online

Events, packages & table availability can be made public so guests can browse and book events online.  DQ handles deposits and guest-lists up front, so the venue has everything they need to approve or decline a booking and conversion rates are maximised.   Customers are given the first class experience they would expect with wallet passes, white label notifications and more.

Comprehensive Data

Guest data is compiled across bookings, service and more to ensure that every experience is optimised. Unlike traditional POS and bookings systems, DQ is a vertical platform spanning the full breadth of the customer experience and collecting guest data at every step.

Promoter Management

Venues that work with promoters can simplify communication and bookings through DQ. A promoter can sell tables and events, manage their bookings and stay updated on their guests’ experience in the venue.
