The problem

Lost in the inbox.

Private hire and big-party enquiries are worth real money, and they’re managed in a mailbox and a spreadsheet, copied across by hand. Some get a slow reply, some get none, and the deposit is chased when someone remembers.

Every hire request in a mailbox, no stages, no owner. You can’t tell what’s live, who’s chasing it, or which deposit never came.
How it works

Capture, qualify, close.

Every hire enquiry on one board, owned by someone, moving towards a deposit and a booked event.

Capture, qualify, close
01Capture

Every enquiry lands here

From your website enquiry form or added by hand, each hire request becomes a card with the guest, party size, date and their budget.

02Qualify

Owner, budget, stage

Assign an owner so it’s clear who’s on it, reply in the inbox, and move it from pending to in-progress to tentative as it firms up.

03Close

Deposit, then booked

Send a deposit link that chases itself, gather pre-orders so the kitchen’s ready, and once it’s confirmed the enquiry becomes a booking on your day-planner.

In practice

The enquiry.

One record with the guest, their budget, where it sits, who owns it, the whole conversation and the deposit, from first message to paid.

Guest, budget, requirements

Party size, date, what they’re after and the budget they told you, on one card.

Owner and status

Who’s responsible and exactly where it sits, from pending to tentative to booked.

Reply in the inbox

Message the guest by email or text from the same screen, with templates and files.

Deposit that chases itself

Send a payment link with reminders, and auto-cancel the hold if it’s not paid in time.

The toolkit

Run the pipeline.

Everything to turn a hire enquiry into a booked, paid event, without a spreadsheet in sight.

Stages

Move each enquiry from pending to in-progress to tentative to booked.

Owner & subscribers

Assign a lead so it’s clear who’s on it, with others kept in the loop.

Budget & pipeline value

The budget the guest gave you, rolled up so you see the money in play by stage.

Deposit links

Send a deposit request that reminds and auto-cancels the hold if unpaid.

Pre-orders

Let the party choose their food ahead, linked to the booking so the kitchen’s ready.

Reply in the inbox

Message the guest by email or text from the enquiry, with templates and files.

Web enquiry form

Embed a form on your site so requests land straight on the board.

Becomes a booking

A confirmed enquiry lands on your day-planner, nothing re-typed.

Events

Events, sorted.

From a Christmas run to a one-night supper club, events run through the same bookings you already use, on the same day-planner.

  • One-off or multi-day

    Run a single night, a continuous run of days, or a handful of dates that aren’t back to back.

  • Pre-orders

    Let the party choose their food ahead of a set-menu night, so the kitchen knows what’s coming.

  • Private hire by enquiry

    Make a space enquiry-only, so a hire always comes through the pipeline first.

  • Deposits and the diary

    Take a deposit up front, and block standard bookings while the event takes the room.

Why Stampede

A pipeline that pays.

One board for every hire enquiry, deposits secured before the date, and a clean handover into the booking.

One pipeline

Not a spreadsheet

Every hire enquiry on one board with a stage and an owner, so you always know what’s live, who’s chasing it and the money on the table.

Deposits secured

Money before the date

Send a deposit link that reminds the guest and cancels the hold if it goes unpaid, so you’re not left holding a room for a no-show.

One system

Enquiry to event to booking

When it’s confirmed it flows into the same bookings and day-planner as everything else, with pre-orders and the guest attached. Nothing re-typed.
