VenueDesk Cloud

What VenueDesk Cloud is

VenueDesk Cloud is venue booking software that brings availability, bookings, contracts, payments, customer information, documents, communications, reports, staff alerts, and operations into one cloud workspace. Its calendar provides day, week, and month views, venue filters, blackout visibility, availability rules, and rescheduling. Teams can reuse contract templates, collect electronic signatures, require contracts before payments, accept Stripe Connect or manual payments, and issue refunds. A secure booking link lets customers view booking details, contracts, payments, and documents without a separate account. The product supports customer status updates, payment and contract notices, balance and event reminders, and internal booking emails for Owners, Admins, and Managers. Pro and Enterprise include reports with CSV exports; Enterprise also offers scoped API tokens and optional booking creation. Tenant users can enroll in TOTP multi-factor authentication with recovery codes, while Super Admin MFA is mandatory. Plans range from $49/month for Founding Venue to $249+/month for Enterprise; Standard is $99/month and Pro is $149/month. Standard and Founding default to one venue, while Pro and Enterprise default to unlimited venues. SMS messaging and a broad integrations marketplace are not advertised as live beta features.
