Partnership Connects Restaurants, Event Venues with Diners  

Gather, an event management software platform for restaurants and venues has partnered with Yelp, as part of its new program, the Gather Booking Network.

More than $30 billion is spent annually on events and parties in the U.S. Gather’s partnership with Yelp connects restaurants and event venues with the 15+ million people looking to plan events each year.

 In 2017, Gather customers planned and executed over 700,000 events, grossing more than $1 billion.  

With more than 100 million unique visitors per month, Yelp is a destination for people looking to find places to eat, drink and celebrate. By promoting venues where planners and consumers already discover and book events, the more than 5,000 restaurants and venues that use Gather’s software will now be able to generate more leads to grow their events business.

 Adding group booking to Yelp is a perfect complement to the thousands of restaurants that can be booked with Yelp Reservations and Nowait, Yelp’s remote waitlist feature.

New partners will continue to be added to the Gather Booking Network.
