The Promise

Start with the real opening, then carry the booking through payout.

Performance should do one job clearly: show the actual slot, make the commitment explicit, and keep the post-show payout path inside the workflow instead of leaving it to scattered messages.

01 Post the actual slot Date, city, role, budget, urgency, and what the show needs are visible before anyone commits.

02 Reach the local fit Performers and replacements can be found by category, distance, urgency, and setup fit instead of vague browsing.

03 Lock the booking cleanly The assignment, proof-of-performance expectations, and replacement path stay in one workflow.

04 Track payout after the show Completion review and payout status stay visible so performers are not left chasing payment.

Openings first, not just profile browsing

The public side should start with real local slots, while directories support the booking decision instead of replacing it.

Funded booking intent

Bookers confirm the slot details and payment path before performers commit serious travel time.

Completion review window

After the show, both sides have a short window to confirm completion or flag a real issue.

Fast payout tracking

Performers can see when payout is ready, sent, and confirmed instead of chasing messages.

Emergency Fill path When something breaks, the workflow should move into nearby replacement instead of forcing the booker to restart from zero.

Dispute review Completion issues need a short evidence window for arrival proof, performance notes, and booker confirmation.

Identity checks Founding accounts should carry basic contact verification before they post paid work or accept it.

Show-day proof Mobile check-in, route status, and photo notes make completion and payout easier to verify after the event.

The request becomes an opening. The team checks performer fit, distance, urgency, and price range before following up.

Best availability detail

Include your event date, start time, city, indoor/outdoor setup, expected audience size, and whether the act needs to bring sound.

Use request-a-quote when the budget is flexible. Add a range when you already know what the event can support.

Verification

Keep proof, media, and event history visible.

Performance should show the evidence a booker actually needs: recent event media, short clips, setup fit, and verified completion history.

Photo Reel

Event photo proof

Use recent show photos to prove stage setup, crowd fit, room scale, and performer presence.

Video Clips

Short video proof

Use 15 to 45 second clips so bookers can judge sound, pacing, crowd fit, and event energy quickly.

Past Events

Booked event history

Show where the act worked, what category fit was proven, and whether the booking closed cleanly through payout.

Verified media, setup notes, and event history reduce the amount of blind outreach needed before a slot is offered.
Booker review criteria

Openings, proof-of-performance, and payout status should stay visible in one workflow so the booking does not dissolve into text messages.
