Proposals that win the booking, contracts that close it

Describe the event in plain words and Excellent drafts a polished, on-brand proposal from your real menus, spaces, and prices — for a person to review and approve before a guest ever sees it.

The guest reads, signs, and pays the deposit from one link, on any device, with no account to create. The moment the contract is signed, the event confirms, your restaurant countersigns, and both sides hold an executed copy that can never be quietly edited.

Awaiting your signature

Every line is picked from the location's own event menus and packages, so the quote and the kitchen's counts cannot drift apart. The service charge is resolved from the subtotal by the engine at render time — nobody re-types a total.

The proposal a host opens on their phone, drafted by AI from this location's real menu and prices and approved by a person before it went out. No login, no attachment: the courses they'll eat, the lines they're paying for, and the charge worked out from them rather than typed in.

What it does

AI writes the first draft, you make the call

Proposals, contracts, and replies are drafted from your actual menus, packages, spaces, and pricing — not boilerplate. Nothing reaches a guest until a person approves it. The blank page is gone; the judgment stays yours.

Pricing pulled from the menu, not re-typed

Proposal lines are picked from your event menus and packages, so the quote and the kitchen's reality can't drift apart. Totals are exact to the cent.

One link to read, sign, and pay

The guest opens a private link, reviews the proposal, signs on a phone or a laptop, and pays the deposit — one sitting, no printing, no account.

Signed content fingerprint (SHA-256)4f2c9ab1e7d05863Every signature above is bound to this exact fingerprint of the document content — a change to the content would change the fingerprint.

A signed document is locked, not read-only by convention: changing the terms means an amendment that supersedes it and is re-signed, and the original stays on file. The fingerprint above is what every signature is bound to — change a word and it changes.

The same link, two screens on: the host types their name, and the deposit that holds the date is right there beside it. One sitting, no printing, no account — and the signature is bound to the exact version they read, not to a document that can be edited afterwards.

Signatures that stand up

Every signature is bound to the exact content that was signed, in an append-only record. A signed document locks; changes after signing happen the honest way — a new version, superseding the old, re-signed by both sides.

Signed content fingerprint (SHA-256)b71d84c6f39a0e25Every signature above is bound to this exact fingerprint of the document content — a change to the content would change the fingerprint.

The copy it superseded stays on file under a fingerprint of its own — different content, different fingerprint: 4f2c9ab1e7d05863

This is a tamper-evidence record, not a cryptographic (PKI / eIDAS) digital certificate. It attests to what was signed, by whom, and when, as captured by Excellent; it does not perform identity proofing of the signers.

Nothing above is a convention the team agreed to keep: the database refuses to edit a signed document, the amendment is a linked new copy rather than a rewrite, and the two fingerprints differ because the content does. Both parties can pull the executed PDF — certificate page included — from the same link they signed on.

What a signature leaves behind. The signed copy locks — the product will not let anyone edit it — so when the guest count moved, the honest path was an amendment both sides re-signed. Both copies stay on file, each bound to the exact content it was signed against, and the certificate of completion records who signed what, when, and from where.

Signing sets everything in motion

A completed signature isn't a PDF in a drawer. It confirms the event, prompts the countersign, and issues the executed copy — the booking moves forward on its own.

Bilingual from the start

Documents render in English and Spanish, written properly, not machine-translated. Serve your guests and staff in their language.

Common questions

Does AI send proposals to guests automatically?

No. AI drafts; a person approves. Every proposal, contract, and reply is reviewed by someone on your team before it goes out. That is a design principle, not a setting.

Can a signed contract be edited?

Not in place. Signed documents lock, and every signature is bound to the exact content signed. Changes after signing create a superseding version that both sides re-sign — the record of what was agreed, when, stays intact.

Do guests need an account to sign?

No. Guests review, sign, and pay from one private link on any device. There is nothing to install and no password to make.
