Sell tickets for restaurant events: tastings, supper clubs and chef's tables

What it looks like in practice

  1. Monday, closed day: the next tasting goes live

    Your sommelier plans a six-wine tasting for twenty-four guests on three Thursdays. You add the evening once, with three dates, and the link is in your newsletter before lunch.

  2. Wednesday: the phone rings at the bar

    A regular wants two seats for the murder mystery dinner but does not book online. You enter the order in a minute, the guest pays on the night, and the seats are off the online count at once.

  3. Thursday, 4 pm: a couple cancels

    The chef's table was sold out and a couple drops out. You refund them, the two seats open again, and the waiting list offers them to the next guests, who have 24 hours to say yes.

  4. Thursday, 7 pm: the kitchen knows everything

    Two vegans, one nut allergy, a birthday at table three. Every guest answered your questions when booking, and the list on the pass shows it by name.

When you sell tickets for restaurant events, you stop guessing how many guests will turn up. A tasting menu, a supper club or a cooking class only works when every seat is paid and every allergy is known before you order the produce. Event Ticket Hub gives your restaurant its own ticket page with your logo, where guests pick an evening, pay with card, PayPal or bank transfer, and answer your questions about diets and celebrations. The money goes to your own payment account as each guest pays.

Restaurant events repeat. The wine tasting runs every month, the cooking class every Saturday morning, the supper club whenever the chef has a new idea. You create events with a series of dates once and reuse them, and for classes you can generate time slots with a fixed number of places each. You do not need a reservation system to run ticketed evenings, and KIMISUITE takes no fee per ticket, which counts on a menu with wine pairing. To set a price that covers food, wine and staff, start with the event ticket price calculator.

What you get

  • Monthly tastings without retyping

    Repeat an evening weekly or monthly, up to 120 dates, or duplicate a date with all its tickets. Each date sells and reports on its own.

  • Time slots for classes

    For cooking classes and tasting flights, generate slots across chosen weekdays with a length, a break and a capacity. Each slot becomes its own date.

  • Allergies before you shop

    Ask about diets and allergies for every ticket, or one question per booking for an occasion. The answers come with the order and on the attendee list.

  • Wine pairing as an extra

    Sell the wine pairing, a bottle to take home or a signed cookbook as extras with the ticket. Guests add them while they book, so you plan the cellar in advance.

  • Phone bookings in a minute

    Book orders yourself for guests who call or ask at the bar, as paid or with payment open. They get the same ticket with QR code as online guests.

  • A waiting list for full evenings

    When an evening sells out, guests join the waiting list. If a seat comes back, the next person gets an offer that stays open for 24 hours.

How to get started

  1. Add Event Ticket Hub

    Open a KIMISUITE workspace for your restaurant and add Event Ticket Hub. You have fourteen days to set up your first evening and invite your team.

  2. Describe the evening

    Create the event with photos, the menu in the description and your address. Add the dates, or a series if it repeats, with the number of seats.

  3. Add tickets, extras and questions

    Create the dinner ticket, the wine pairing as an extra and a required question about allergies. If you seat guests at tables, draw the room from the restaurant template.

  4. Connect payments and share

    Connect your Stripe, PayPal or Bankart account, publish, and print the QR code for your menus and the window. Your regulars find every evening on one page.

Pricing

Event Ticket Hub starts at a fixed monthly price (see pricing) for your whole restaurant workspace, not per member of staff and not per ticket. KIMISUITE adds a 0 % ticket fee to your evenings; your payment provider charges its usual fee on each payment.

Your manager, sommelier and chef can all work in the same workspace.

Is it the right fit?

A good fit if

  • Restaurants that run wine tastings, chef's tables, themed dinners or murder mystery evenings
  • Supper clubs and pop-up dinners that sell every seat in advance
  • Cooking schools and restaurants with classes on fixed time slots
  • Bars and wineries that host tastings with a fixed number of places

Not the right fit if

  • Restaurants looking for an everyday table reservation book for walk-in service
  • Places that need ticket sales tied to their till or reservation system
  • Hosts who want to take a deposit now and the rest after the dinner
  • Venues that must sell the same evening in several currencies

Frequently asked questions

How do I sell tickets for restaurant events online?

Create the evening as an event with one or more dates, add your tickets and any extras, connect your payment account and publish. Guests book and pay on your ticket page and receive their tickets by email.

How do I sell tickets for a dinner event with a set menu?

Create one ticket for the menu and put the courses in the description. Add the wine pairing as an extra and ask about allergies, so the price, the drinks and the kitchen notes come in one booking.

Can guests who phone in still get a ticket?

Yes. Book their order yourself, as paid or with payment open. They get the same ticket and QR code, and the seats are taken out of the online sale straight away.

What happens when a guest cancels at short notice?

You decide. Guests can send a cancellation request from their order page, and you can refund all or part of the amount. Freed seats go back on sale, and the waiting list offers them to the next guests.

Do I need a reservation system for ticketed evenings?

No. Event Ticket Hub runs your ticketed evenings from booking to the door, paid in advance. Your normal service keeps running the way it does today.

Can I seat guests at specific tables?

Yes. Start from the restaurant template, place round or square tables and let guests choose their seats. For a communal table, a simple number of places is enough.

Do you charge a fee per ticket?

No. KIMISUITE adds 0 % to each ticket. You pay one monthly price for the workspace and your payment provider's fee per payment. You can add your own booking fee if you want, shown in the final price.
