Built for venues that serve food and drinks
A private event at your business brings together the space, your staff, and the food or drinks you serve. The right booking channel should support that entire sale.
A restaurant may want a 30-person birthday dinner with a set menu. A bar may sell an engagement party around a minimum beverage spend. A brewery may combine reserved tables with drink packages, while an activity venue sells a company outing with games and catering.
These are the opportunities RestauRent is designed to help hospitality businesses pursue. Your venue can present what makes the experience valuable and respond to planners looking for a place to celebrate, meet, dine, or bring a group together.
Peerspace’s inventory also includes restaurants and bars, but spans homes, photo studios, meeting spaces, and other rentals. That breadth can suit a property owner selling access to a space. For a hospitality operator, RestauRent’s more specific focus makes it the stronger place to build a private-event acquisition strategy. [4]
Price your events around how your business makes money
RestauRent does not require you to sell every event as an hourly room rental. You set the commercial terms that work for your venue and quote the event accordingly. [1]
Food minimums for a private dining room or restaurant buyout.
Bar minimums for cocktail receptions, engagement parties, and group gatherings.
Per-person menus, beverage packages, and activity packages.
Flat rental fees, hourly rates, or a rental fee combined with a minimum spend.
For example, a bar could quote a $2,500 beverage minimum for an engagement party without charging a separate room fee. A restaurant could offer dinner at $85 per person. A hotel could combine a meeting-room fee with catered lunch. These illustrative structures let you price around staffing, expected spend, and the value of the booking.
Peerspace’s standard listing guidance starts with an hourly rate and minimum hours. It also supports per-person or flat-fee add-ons and custom offers. Its separate all-inclusive program supports minimum spends. The practical advantage of RestauRent is that hospitality pricing is central to your sales conversation, alongside a flat subscription rather than a marketplace charge for each confirmed event. [3, 6]
Focus on the celebrations and corporate events your team wants to host
RestauRent helps venues pursue birthdays, corporate dinners and happy hours, graduation parties, engagements, holiday parties, showers, and other private gatherings. These occasions give a hospitality business the chance to sell food, beverages, and an experience its team already knows how to deliver. [2, 8]
A corporate group could book an activity space with food and drinks. A family could choose a restaurant for a graduation dinner. An engagement party could fill a bar’s private room on a quieter evening. Your listing should make those possibilities clear.
Peerspace also prominently markets photo, video, and film shoots, with inventory geared toward production needs. A shoot may be valuable rental income, but it may not generate the dining or bar
spend your business wants. Peerspace serves celebrations too; the distinction is RestauRent’s dedicated focus on the private-event opportunities hospitality teams are seeking. [5]
The pricing difference matters to what your business keeps
Every event has costs before it produces profit. Food, beverages, hourly staff, setup, and cleanup all come out of the revenue you bring in. A marketplace fee adds another expense to that booking.
RestauRent’s marketplace subscription is $99 per month per location after the trial. Under Peerspace’s standard model, hosts pay 20% on the booking amount and applicable additional charges. Its all-inclusive venue program uses a different fee structure, so venues should compare the offer that applies to them. [2, 7]
Peerspace’s all-inclusive page illustrates a $400 booking fee on a $3,000 booking subtotal. It says fees are tiered by booking size, capped at $1,000 per event, and do not take a commission on additional food and beverage sales. [6]
Here is what one paid month looks like if a venue generates the same number of $3,000 bookings through each option. The standard-model column assumes the full $3,000 is commissionable; the all-inclusive column repeats Peerspace’s published $400 example for each booking.
| Bookings in one month | RestauRent subscription | Peerspace standard model | Peerspace all-inclusive example |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × $3,000 | $99 | $600 | $400 |
| 2 × $3,000 | $99 | $1,200 | $800 |
| 4 × $3,000 | $99 | $2,400 | $1,600 |
At four such bookings, RestauRent’s monthly marketplace cost is $2,301 lower than the standard Peerspace model and $1,501 lower than the all-inclusive illustration.
For a venue that sustains that same volume for 12 paid months, the differences become $27,612 and $18,012 respectively. Those are fee calculations, not forecasts of bookings or profit. Compare actual demand, conversion, and included services alongside the cost.
Examples exclude taxes and separate payment-processing or optional-service charges. RestauRent’s subscription applies in paid months even with no bookings. Peerspace has no monthly listing fee; its standard service includes booking support and host protections subject to terms. [2, 4, 7]
A commission on revenue can consume much more of your event margin
Consider one hypothetical $3,000 event with $1,800 in event operating costs. That leaves $1,200 before marketplace fees. A $600 fee under the standard 20% model uses half of that contribution, leaving $600. Charging the entire $99 RestauRent monthly subscription against that one event leaves $1,101 instead.
The difference is $501 available to contribute toward overhead and profit. That is why hospitality owners should evaluate fees against what an event earns after costs. A percentage that looks manageable against gross revenue can be substantial against the money left over.
With RestauRent, a second or third event in the same month does not add another marketplace booking fee. That makes the subscription increasingly efficient as your confirmed event volume grows.

Yes. You can quote events using food minimums, bar minimums, per-person packages, rental fees, hourly rates, or a combination that works for your business. RestauRent does not require every event to be priced as an hourly rental. [1]
Is RestauRent cheaper than Peerspace
It can be substantially cheaper on marketplace fees as bookings grow. In the four-booking example above, RestauRent costs $99 for the month, compared with $2,400 under the standard model or $1,600 using the all-inclusive illustration. Actual savings depend on volume and applicable terms.
