# Private Event Booking Setup for Restaurants | FXXK Agency

Page: https://fxxkagency.com/restaurant-events
Type: Productized offer (restaurants, inquiry first)
Site: FXXK Agency — https://fxxkagency.com

## In short

FXXK Agency adds a branded private event inquiry form and a guest count and
package estimator to a restaurant's existing website, routes each inquiry to
the person who handles private events, and sets up a deposit link the
restaurant sends after it approves an event. It is an add-on, not a new
website. It costs $1,500 to set up plus $149/month per location for hosting
and updates. Nothing is charged until Shoya Fagan confirms the setup works
with the restaurant's website and payment provider.

## Pricing

- Setup: $1,500, one time.
- Hosting and updates: $149/month per location. Example: 3 locations =
  $447/month.
- No payment is taken through the setup form. Nothing is charged until
  Shoya confirms the setup with the restaurant. Then the $1,500 setup is
  invoiced, and $149 per location is billed monthly.

## What the setup includes

1. Branded event inquiry form: matches the restaurant's look and collects
   the date, time, guest count, package, add-ons, and the guest's contact
   details.
2. Guest count and package estimator: guests choose a guest count, a
   package, a day and time, and add-ons, and see a preliminary budget built
   from the restaurant's own prices and minimums.
3. Inquiry routing: each inquiry arrives with the guest's choices and
   estimate attached, sent to the person who handles private events.
4. Deposit link after approval: once the restaurant approves an event, it
   sends the guest a deposit link from its own payment provider.

## How a private event gets booked

1. The guest plans the event on the restaurant's site and sees a
   preliminary estimate.
2. The inquiry reaches the right person with every answer and the estimate
   attached.
3. The restaurant checks availability, confirms the final menu and price,
   and approves the event. Nothing is booked until it does.
4. The restaurant sends the deposit link. The guest pays the restaurant
   directly.

## Estimates and payments

- A guest's estimate is preliminary, not a quote or a booking. The venue
  confirms availability and final pricing.
- FXXK does not process, take, or hold guest payments. Deposits are paid to
  the restaurant through its own payment provider (for example Square,
  Toast, Stripe, Clover, or OpenTable, Resy, or Tock deposits). Shoya
  confirms the restaurant's provider works with the setup before anything
  is charged.
- The sample estimator on the page uses example pricing for demonstration.
  It is not FXXK's pricing, Pour Destino's, or any real venue's.

## Estimator work already built: Pour Destino

Pour Destino is a Spanish inspired tapas restaurant and bar in Elmhurst,
Illinois, and an active FXXK Agency client (website launch pending). 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. The site is not live yet, so no
inquiries, bookings, or results are claimed.
