The idea

Running a theatre means running a dozen businesses at once. TheatreOps started from a simple question: what if the money, the contracts and the shows all lived in the same place?

The challenge

Venue finance usually lives across spreadsheets, box-office exports, bar tills and email threads. Settling up with a producer at the end of a run could take days of reconciliation — and one wrong formula could cost real money.

The thinking

We mapped the life of a production from first contract to final settlement, then designed the product around that single timeline. Every number is traceable back to where it came from, so nobody has to trust a spreadsheet they didn't build.

  1. Contract
  2. Production
  3. Tickets
  4. Bar
  5. Contras
  6. Royalties
  7. Settlement
