From Combat to CRM: How Perfect Venue is Revolutionizing Restaurant Events

In this episode of Restaurant Leaders Unplugged, we’re joined by Luke Hutchison—Army veteran turned tech entrepreneur and the Founder & CEO of Perfect Venue. Luke shares his journey from the battlefield to the boardroom, and how his event management software is helping restaurants boost revenue, cut admin time, and simplify private event sales.

We explore the biggest mistakes operators make with private dining, how to generate more leads from the guests already in your dining room, and how to build a culture that scales—whether in a platoon or a fast-growing startup.

If you're a restaurant owner, operator, or GM who wants to unlock the full potential of your private events, this episode is a must.

🎯 Topics covered:

• Why private events are often your most profitable channel
• How restaurants lose sales without realizing it
• Leadership lessons from the military you can apply today
• How Perfect Venue automates event sales from inquiry to payment
• Low-cost strategies to generate more private event leads
