One app for the venue and the musician. The venue taps a night, the musician accepts it, and the act, the brief, the pay and the paperwork move on their own. It is coming soon. Until it lands, the same booking runs through app.opendawn.com.au.
A night is a tap, a start time and send. Everything after that is ours.
Your room, your suburb, where the invoices go and the nights you tend to run. Five minutes, and never again.
Pick the date on the calendar, choose a start time and send it. That is the whole job.
Matched to your room, briefed on your crowd and your finish, and confirmed in writing, usually the same day.
Every Monday, for the week just played. A PDF, the same figures as a spreadsheet, and a summary for your accountant.
Nothing to set up. Everything to adjust, if you ever feel like it.
Keep the act your regulars ask for, or hear somebody new every week. Change your mind any time, night by night.
Your crowd, your volume, your finish time. Say it once and every act arrives knowing the room.
Connect the calendar you already use and every confirmed night lands in it. Nothing to copy across.
After a night you can give it a star rating out of five. You never have to.
Try it. Tap a star.
A demonstration. Real ratings are anonymous: the musician never sees them, and neither does anyone else on this site.
A rating is not a review. It is how the app learns who belongs in your room.
The rating is optional, and it is never shown to the musician or anywhere on this site. It goes to the app and nowhere else. A high rating tells the app to book that musician for you again. A low one tells it they were not the fit, and it looks elsewhere next time.
The app also learns across venues and across artists. It looks for the patterns between the ratings a musician earns in rooms like yours, and uses them to predict who will do well in your room before they have played it. The more nights that run, the better it gets at that.
Then the nights come to you.
What you play, how far you will travel, the times you are not available, and any rooms you would rather not play.
A night that fits you arrives on your phone. The first to accept gets it, so a yes is a yes.
Three 45 minute sets with a break between each, briefed on the room before you load in. A meal and two drinks are part of every booking.
We pay you on the same day every week, with your super. The app writes the payment statement for you, so you never send an invoice.
Connect the calendar you already use and you are only ever offered nights you are free for. We store busy times only, never what the appointments are.
Every night you have played, what you were paid and when, and the statement for each. Your bank and super details are entered once and held by our payroll provider, not by us.
Set times, the brief, the finish and the contact on the night, all agreed before you arrive. You turn up and play.
The app matches on fit, and it spreads the work.
Every night goes to the musician the app expects to suit the room, and the roster is kept tight so the work stays regular for the people on it. Play well and be easy to work with, and the calendar fills itself.
Venues can rate a night after it happens. Those ratings are anonymous and never shown to you, and they only ever do one thing: send more of the right rooms your way.
Until it lands, a venue books the same way at app.opendawn.com.au, and a musician joins the roster by sending us their live links.
