Why hasn’t this been done until now?

Venue Performance has for the first time applied cloud-based data, algorithms and AI to take advantage of its data and experience. This is because we have invested significantly in technology because we recognised there was a vast amount of hidden value in the data we have been collecting.

What is actionable data?

There is little value in data for the sake of data and bar charts alone. Instead, we only surface useful information that can guide your actions. Consider, for example, output that shows your F&B pricing is lower than your competitors for events in general but lower for banquets. This would empower you to investigate whether your pricing is off or your quality of F&B is below par and could lead to low bookings in the future.

How and when do I get my reports?

Your reports are available 24/7 via your secure online login.

How many venues = a Comp set?

There is no other service that’s collates data across the whole sector or enables you to compare performance against your competitors. We can do this because we have been surveying clients of Venue Performance for over a decade and have gained the trust and know how to do so.

How accurate is Performance Radar?

Performance radar is an indicator of where you should pay attention. Based on the data you provide and our comparison with sector and competitor information we can tell you where there are anomalies. These may point towards things going well or not so well and indeed you may well suspect there is an issue that needs attention already. This is to help guide your attention. As our algorithms learn more we will be able to provide ever more actionable data.
