We're ideal for local businesses, hospitality groups, and intentional communities (e.g., membership clubs, reading clubs, hobby groups, etc.)—anyone who just needs a way to sell tickets and track attendees, but doesn't need advanced seat selection.

Yep! You control how discoverable your event is. Every event will have a unique link, and you can choose who to share the link with, or if you'd like to feature the link on your website or social media. We will periodically promote events that are open to the public to a wider audience, but you can opt out of being included in those announcements should you want to keep the event more private.

You can choose to have your event included in our newsletter and social media shoutouts. You'll tap into a network of people who are passionate about supporting and finding interesting events hosted by local businesses.

We can even help send personal invitations to people who've attended similar events in the past. These are the people most likely to say yes. Email us at hello@thethirdplace.is if you'd like our help in promoting your event.

Events are a great way to build your community and grow its reach by being a limited-time change from the day-to-day. This creates a sense of urgency and freshness that encourages customers to visit and can help spark press coverage.

Events are also an opportunity for collaborations, allowing you to tap into a new audience. Think of winemaker dinners, pop-ups, and block parties that involve an entire street. (If you'd like an introduction to an existing partner of The Third Place for a collaboration, let us know!)

Use our community-building tools to keep these new customers for the long haul:

Collect feedback automatically: Send a customized thank-you note using our recommended language and optionally ask for feedback.

Get to know your attendees: Our customer database automatically keeps track of your current and past attendees (and their plus-ones).

Send personalized emails or texts (in bulk and 1:1): Let attendees know about future events or other ways to stay in touch.

We seamlessly takes care of all the moving pieces of restaurant event management, so you can focus on spending quality time with your customers and their friends and family. Here's how The Third Place helps:

Streamlined planning: Our software is a centralized space to bring communities together for your event. Get the word out, collect RSVPs, and reach wider audiences—all on one platform.

Efficient communication: Our built-in communication tools let you easily send event updates, reminders, and personalized messages, ensuring clear and timely communication with guests, staff, and other stakeholders.

Customized event page: Customize your event page so customers can reserve their spot, make payments (if applicable), and provide necessary personal information (like dietary restrictions). It's convenient for both you and your customers, eliminating cumbersome registration forms and manual paperwork.

Event marketing and promotion: Spread the word of your events with our built-in marketing features, including 1:1 or bulk emails and texts. Our Explore page helps your event reach people and small businesses beyond your circle.

Real-time analytics and reporting: Our platform offers insights into attendee data, ticket sales, revenue, and other key metrics, so you can make data-driven decisions for future planning.

Powerful customer data: Gather attendee information (e.g., emails and phone numbers), personal preferences, and feedback, all on one platform. You own your customer data, and you can always use it to inform future events and marketing campaigns.
