Purpose
1. Real-time event performance analytics and reporting automate the process of collecting, aggregating, analyzing, and visualizing event data—covering attendance, engagement, sales, feedback, and ROI—enabling oxygen cocktail bars to make data-driven strategic decisions, identify high-performing promotions, optimize resource allocation, and rapidly adapt to audience trends or operational anomalies.
2. The process automatedly integrates multiple data touchpoints (POS, booking, social sentiment, check-ins, on-site activity) into customizable live dashboards and automated reports, supporting both on-site and virtual event analysis.
3. The automation monitors KPIs (e.g., revenue per hour, cocktail sales, guest feedback) in real-time, generates alerts for deviations or successes, and automates instant reporting to managers and stakeholders.
Trigger Conditions
1. Event scheduled or initiated in calendar or booking system.
2. Guest check-in or ticket scan detected via POS or access control API.
3. Significant updates in event metrics (e.g., 25% spike/drop in attendees or sales) identified by the automator.
4. End of event or threshold time reached, prompting automated generation of performance report.
