Host Club Software

Most night venues take money at the table. A host club extends credit and collects it later.

That single difference reorganises everything. Your revenue line and your cash line are not the same number, they diverge for weeks at a time, and the gap between them is carried on individual relationships between a host and a guest.

tasteck is a booking and analytics system for night venues, built by people who ran them for sixteen years and grew from ¥200 million to ¥1.2 billion a year — six-fold, by attacking the business with systems rather than by pushing harder on sales. Every other product in this category was built by a software company.

Receivables are the business

A host club that only tracks sales is tracking the optimistic half.

Booked            what was ordered and signed for
Collected         what actually arrived
Outstanding       the difference, aged
Written off       what stopped being a receivable

The aged view is the one that changes decisions. A receivable at 7 days and a receivable at 90 days are not the same asset, and averaging them into "outstanding" hides the part that is going to hurt.

tasteck holds receivables per guest and per host, with the age, so you can ask which host is booking revenue that does not arrive — and ask it before the month closes rather than after.

⚠️ The host with the highest sales is not automatically your best host. Sales minus uncollected, aged, tells you something different — and sometimes the ordering changes completely.

The ranking has to be defensible

Rankings are not decoration in this format. They drive behaviour, they are public, and staff make career decisions on them.

Which means the number behind them has to be one people can check. A ranking built on booked sales rewards the host who extends the most credit. A ranking built on collected revenue rewards the one who brought money in.

Booked sales      rewards extending credit
Collected         rewards bringing money in
Collected, aged   rewards bringing money in on time
Repeat guests     rewards building something that lasts

Neither extreme is right. What matters is that you chose, that everyone knows which one you chose, and that the record supports it. tasteck holds all four; the policy is yours.

The large order, and what it costs

The high-value order — champagne call, tower, whatever your room calls it — is where a host club's revenue concentrates and where its risk concentrates too.

Was it collected, and how long did it take?
Did that guest return, or was it a single peak?
What was the margin, after the house share and the host share?
How much of one host's number is one guest?

The last line is the one that gets checked least and matters most. A host whose month is carried by a single guest is not a strong performer — they are a concentrated risk, and the risk is realised the week that guest stops coming.

tasteck's settlement is broken out by line, with the house share and the individual share held separately on every line, so "what a large order actually produced" is a number rather than a reconstruction.

Guest records that outlive a host

When a host leaves, what happens to their guests is one of the few genuinely existential questions in this format.

A club where guest records live in a host's phone loses the guest with the host. A club where they live in the system keeps a chance.

Visit history per guest, across hosts
What they ordered, and when
What is outstanding, and against whom
Notes, held by the venue rather than by an individual

This is not about distrust. It is about the club being a business with assets rather than a room that rents space to relationships.

What predicts next quarter

Repeat rate by host           are relationships being built or spent?
Receivable ageing trend       is collection slipping?
Guest concentration per host  who is carrying a single relationship?
Availability trend            who has already decided to leave?

The fourth line arrives two to four weeks before a resignation. In a format where a departing host can take a book of business with them, that lead time is the difference between a transition and a hole.

What it does not do

It does not set your credit policy, does not chase payment, and has no collections workflow. It does not decide your ranking formula. It does not integrate with a bar POS, and it does not run payroll.

It is not a legal or compliance product. Credit extension to consumers is regulated differently in every jurisdiction, and that is a question for your own counsel, not for us.

The output no one else produces

tasteck outputs the maximum you can spend on each marketing channel next month, as an amount in your currency.

In a credit business this figure is computed differently, and correctly. A channel that delivers guests who book large and pay late is not the same as one delivering guests who book smaller and pay on the night — and a per-booking acquisition cost cannot tell those apart. The ceiling is computed from the lifetime value of the guests each source actually delivered, which nets out what was never collected.

Nothing else in the nightlife category produces that figure.

Ask it from ChatGPT

tasteck connects to ChatGPT over MCP: ask your numbers as a question and the answer comes back in the chat — what is outstanding over 60 days, which host has the most concentrated book, what last month collected against what it booked.

Questions we get

Is this different from hostess club software? Yes, in the part that matters: the credit cycle. The scheduling and nomination machinery overlaps; the receivables machinery does not. → Hostess Club Software

Can it handle multiple venues? Yes, with per-company permissions and separated data.

We already use a spreadsheet for receivables. Most clubs do, and it works until the ageing question arrives. Test the export during your trial and see whether the aged view changes any decision you are currently making.
