Nicht erfasste oder falsch berechnete Promoter-Provisionen

Definition

Australian nightclubs and bars commonly rely on external promoters and hosts who are paid commissions on table bookings, bottle service, ticket and door sales. Specialist bottle‑service software highlights the need to track commissions live for each booth and upsell, implying that without such systems venues lack transparency on which promoter generated which spend and what commission is owed.[4] In practice, many venues still reconcile promoter sheets manually at end of night or week, often from WhatsApp/Instagram messages, handwritten lists and basic POS exports. Where POS systems do not natively link bookings and guest spend to individual promoters, slips between systems (booking tool, door list, POS) cause bottles or tables not to be attributed to the right promoter, leading either to overpayment (duplicate counting of guests) or underpayment (missed attribution). Logic from hospitality POS vendors shows strong emphasis on tracking every sale, measuring upsells and minimising wastage to protect margins, indicating that even small percentage errors meaningfully hit profitability in high‑volume bar environments.[1][2][3][5][6] Assuming promoter‑driven revenue of 20.000–80.000 AUD per month in a busy nightclub, a 2–5 % mis‑tracking rate in commissions equates to 400–4.000 AUD per month of over‑ or under‑payments, i.e. etwa 5.000–40.000 AUD pro Jahr. This is a financial bleed irrespective of direction: overpayments are direct margin loss; underpayments drive promoter disputes, churn and revenue loss in following periods.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Bars and nightclubs in Australia 🇦🇺 waste geschätzt 10.000–40.000 AUD jährlich durch fehlerhafte oder fehlende Provisionsabrechnungen an Promoter. Automation of real‑time commission tracking per booking, booth and bottle sale eliminates this leakage and creates an auditable trail.
