For Union Stage Presents, the constant switching between booking software, ticketing platforms, spreadsheets, and POS data meant small inefficiencies were stealing hours every week. And when you’re operating a venue, time wasted is money wasted. 

Each disconnected tool creates a new friction point:

• Booking and hold tracking lived in one system.
• Settlements were handled manually in another.
• Ticketing data and bar sales required manual reconciliation.

Every one of those tiny, repeated actions became an energy drain.

“Where are those friction points? What is happening over and over again each day and night where you’re like, ‘I’m gonna pull my hair out’? That’s the moment when your energy drops.”

For Daniel, those small inefficiencies weren’t just annoying. They slowed down growth and kept his team from focusing on growing the business.

Opendate Consolidates Technology and Processes for UNION STAGE PRESENTS

When Daniel discovered Opendate, it was more than just another software switch. It was a mindset shift.
Opendate offered a single, connected platform that could handle everything from booking holds to final settlements, all with integrated ticketing and POS data.

“For us, the Opendate solution was really compelling to have it all in one. That created an efficiency.”

Opendate has become the foundation of his operations, where every number, every show, and every settlement lives in one place.

The Plan: Unify and Simplify

Daniel and his team use Opendate to:

• Pull in holds and bookings directly from the calendar
• Manage show settlements within the same tool
• Integrate ticketing and POS data for real-time insights
• Eliminate redundant tasks and unify workflows
  
  

Each step removes friction — fewer logins, fewer exports, fewer manual errors.

“Opendate is our Bible. It has to be that way. That’s how we create efficiencies.”

The Result: Energy Reclaimed, Growth Accelerated

Since switching to Opendate, Union Stage Presents has increased its offer velocity by 31% and is now confirming over 100 shows per month. 

With everything connected, Union Stage Presents transformed the way they operated.

And Daniel and his team have reclaimed their energy for what matters most — growing the business.

“It’s our current obsession, speeding things up.”

Opendate helps owner/operators like Daniel eliminate friction and operate at peak efficiency, not by adding more tools, but by consolidating them into a single, connected platform.

When every click counts, and every minute matters, Opendate gives that time, money, and energy back.
