Nightlife Venue Software

A restaurant guest comes back for the room. A night venue guest comes back for a person.

That single difference breaks most hospitality software, because it counts covers and tickets. Here the unit that matters is a relationship, and a relationship has a name attached to it on both sides of the table.

tasteck is a booking and analytics system for night venues, built by people who ran them for sixteen years and grew one operation from ¥200 million to ¥1.2 billion a year. Every other product in this category was built by a software company.

The three numbers that predict the quarter

Revenue is not one of them. It tells you what happened, never what to do on Monday.

Nomination rate            — what share of visits asked for someone by name
Returning guest share      — what share of this month had been in before
Lifetime value, per staff  — what one relationship is worth over its life

Nomination rate is the earliest signal you have. A room with flat revenue and a falling nomination rate is losing its relationships and filling the gap with walk-ins. The takings look stable for about two months.

Returning share tells you whose growth it is. Rising revenue with a falling returning share means the growth is rented from marketing, and the rent goes up.

Lifetime value per staff member changes what a resignation costs. A departure is not one salary. It is the guests who were attached to that person, and you cannot price it without the record.

Why the record has to join visits

Without a guest record that persists, every one of these becomes uncomputable.

A comped entry that becomes a large table is a marketing cost that paid for itself. A comped entry that drinks water is a loss. In the night's takings they look identical.

A regular who stopped coming and a slow week look identical too — until the point where winning them back is hardest.

A promoter who brings volume and one who brings guests who return are the same line in a revenue total and opposite lines in a ledger that joins visits.

What the system does

Guest records that persist across visits. A person, with their history, their table, and who they asked for. This is what makes nomination rate, returning share and lifetime value computable at all.

Settlement broken out by line, per staff member. Course, extension, nomination, options, transport, discounts and events — so the pay conversation starts from a figure both sides already agree on.

Shifts submitted by staff in 30-minute blocks. The submission is the record. Someone quietly narrowing their availability is visible weeks before they resign.

Guest segmentation. First-time, early-repeat, steady, surge, top-tier — each split by active or lapsed, so a decline in the top tier is visible before it reaches the revenue line.

A spend ceiling per channel. The most a channel can be worth to you, computed from your own book. The calculation is free and needs no sign-up.

By room

The numbers above are the same in every night venue. What differs is where they break.

• Nightclub — the door, the tables and the bar are three businesses under one roof
• Host club — where nomination and the receivable ledger decide the month
• Hostess club — accompaniment and after-hours are shifts that start before the shift
• Bar and lounge — smaller rooms where one regular is a measurable share
• Strip club — house fees, tip-outs and stage rotation, which most platforms do not touch
• Outcall and dispatch — driver runs and turnaround, where the constraint is the road
• Men's wellness spas — nomination and the NG list
• Solo salons — one pair of hands, and the ad ceiling that comes first
• Multi-location operators — two sites on the same axis

What it does not do

It does not staff your floor, write your marketing, or tell you who to promote. It does not fix a relationship that has already gone.
