In short
How can a restaurant take private event inquiries and deposits on its own website?
FXXK adds a branded private event inquiry form and a guest count and package estimator to the website you already have, routes each inquiry to the right person, and sets up a deposit link you send after you approve an event. It costs $1,500 to set up plus $149/month per location, and nothing is charged until Shoya Fagan confirms the setup with you.

How it works
From a guest’s first look to your deposit link.
Guests get answers before they call. You get complete inquiries, approve the events you want, and send the deposit link yourself.
- 1
The guest plans the event on your site
They pick a day, a time, a guest count, a package, and add-ons, and see a preliminary estimate before they ever call or email.
Inquiry form and estimator

The inquiry reaches the right person
Every answer and the estimate arrive together, routed to whoever handles private events, so nobody has to chase the basics.
Inquiry routing

You review and approve
You check availability and confirm the final menu and price. The estimate was preliminary, and nothing is booked until you approve the event.
Your decision
- 4
You send the deposit link
After approval, you send the guest a deposit link from your own payment provider. The guest pays your restaurant directly. FXXK never takes or holds guest payments.
Deposit link
Your website
The form and estimator are added to the site you already have. Shoya confirms the setup works with your website before anything is charged.
Your payment provider
Deposit links come from your own account, and deposits go to your restaurant. Shoya confirms your provider works with the setup before anything is charged.
Your rules
Your packages, prices, minimums, guest limits, and deposit amounts. The estimator on this page uses example pricing for demonstration.
Sample estimator
Try it the way a guest would.
A working sample. Change the guest count, package, day, time, and add-ons, and the preliminary estimate updates as you go.
Example pricing for demonstration. These aren’t FXXK’s prices, Pour Destino’s, or any real venue’s. Your estimator uses your own packages, prices, minimums, guest limits, and deposit amount.
Already built
An event estimator built for Pour Destino. Launch pending.
We’ve already built a private event estimator into a restaurant website. Here is what’s published about that project, and what isn’t claimed.
Website build · Not yet livePour Destino · Elmhurst, Illinois
Pour Destino is a Spanish inspired tapas restaurant and bar, and an active FXXK client. Its website build includes a private events page that brings together spaces, packages, and a browser based estimator for a preliminary budget.
The estimator is a planning tool, not a quote or booking. The website launch is pending: the site is not live yet, so no inquiries, bookings, or results are claimed.
That estimator is part of a custom website build. This setup brings the same kind of event inquiry tools to the website you already have.

Pricing
One setup. A monthly fee per location.
$1,500 to set it up, then $149/month per location for hosting and updates. For example, 3 locations = $447/month.
What the setup includes
Branded event inquiry form
Matches your restaurant’s look and collects what you need to plan: date, time, guest count, package, add-ons, and the guest’s contact details.
Guest count and package estimator
Guests choose a guest count, a package, a day and time, and add-ons, then see a preliminary budget built from your prices and minimums.
Inquiry routing
Each inquiry arrives with the guest’s choices and estimate attached, sent to the person who handles private events, for example the events manager at that location.
Deposit link after approval
Once you approve an event, you send the guest a deposit link from your own payment provider. The deposit goes to your restaurant, never through FXXK.
Not part of the setup
- Guest payment processingFXXK doesn’t process, take, or hold guest payments. Deposits are paid to your restaurant through your own provider.
- A new websiteThis is an add-on for the website you already have, not a rebuild.
- Automatic bookingEstimates are preliminary. Your venue confirms availability and final pricing, and approves every event.

Questions
Before you set it up.
Your website, the price per location, the sample estimator, deposits, payment providers, and who does the work.
Do we need a new website?
No. This is an add-on for the website you already have: a branded event inquiry form, a guest count and package estimator, inquiry routing, and a deposit link. Shoya confirms the setup works with your website before anything is charged.
What does it cost?
$1,500 for setup, one time, plus $149/month per location for hosting and updates. For example, 3 locations = $447/month. Nothing is charged until Shoya confirms the setup with you. Then the $1,500 setup is invoiced, and $149 per location is billed monthly.
Are the prices in the sample estimator real?
No. The estimator on this page uses example pricing for demonstration. It isn’t FXXK’s pricing, Pour Destino’s, or any real venue’s. Your estimator uses your own packages, prices, minimums, guest limits, and deposit amount.
Is a guest’s estimate a quote or a booking?
No. It’s a preliminary estimate to help the guest plan. Your venue confirms availability and final pricing, and nothing is booked until you approve the event.
How do deposits work? Does FXXK take payments?
After you approve an event, you send the guest a deposit link from your own payment provider, and the deposit is paid to your restaurant. FXXK doesn’t process, take, or hold guest payments.
Which payment providers does it work with?
Tell us which one you use in the setup form: Square, Toast, Stripe, Clover, OpenTable, Resy, or Tock deposits, something else, or none yet. No payment now. Shoya confirms the setup works with your website and payment provider, then we send the invoice.
Where do inquiries go?
To the person who handles private events, with the guest’s answers and estimate attached. If you have more than one location, tell us who handles events at each one.

View Shoya’s cardHave you built an event estimator before?
Yes, for Pour Destino, a Spanish inspired tapas restaurant and bar in Elmhurst, Illinois, and an active client. Its website build includes a private events page with spaces, packages, and a browser based estimator for a preliminary budget. The estimator is a planning tool, not a quote or booking. Website launch is pending: the site is not live yet, so no inquiries, bookings, or results are claimed.
