How much private events revenue are you leaving on the table?

Most groups lose events in two quiet places: inquiries answered too slowly, and proposals that undersell the room. Put in your numbers — every assumption is editable — and see the annual gap across your locations.

Calls, emails, form fills — everything that asks about a private event.

How to capture it: answer every inquiry the same hour (AI-drafted replies help), send a proposal the same day, and let guests sign and pay the deposit from one link. That is the workflow Excellent is built around.

How the math works

How is the revenue gap calculated?

Two levers, both visible and editable. First, response speed: the first location to answer an inquiry wins a disproportionate share, so the calculator applies a conservative close-rate lift (default +8 percentage points) to your monthly inquiry volume. Second, proposal quality: structured menus, packages, and upsells lift average event value (default +6%). The gap is the lifted annual revenue minus what you book today — inquiries × 12 months × locations, priced at your average event value.

Are the default assumptions realistic?

They are deliberately conservative planning figures, not promises — and both are inputs, so you can set them to whatever your own experience supports. The arithmetic is shown line by line.

What does Excellent have to do with the result?

The two levers are exactly what the platform automates: AI-drafted replies and proposals go out the same hour, and guests sign and pay the deposit from one link. Whether you close the gap with Excellent or with process changes, the gap itself is the same arithmetic.
