How restaurants are bringing their visions to life

Thanks to per person pricing, we were able to create our first fully pre-paid experience for our Summer Pig Roasts at Pizzeria Delfina Palo Alto. Guests could choose from standard, kid’s, and season ticket prices, which cut down on back-and-forth about bookings and made the process smoother for everyone.”
