About the Partner Company

The Company is a 17,000-square-foot, vintage-Florida-inspired shuffleboard nightclub located in Brooklyn and Chicago. The club blends classic nostalgia with modern energy, hosting hundreds of large-scale private events for clients such as JPMorgan, TikTok, Google, and more.

While the venue exudes fun and flair, the back-of-house operations are undergoing a transformation. With a high volume of private events and no current CRM or outbound sales infrastructure, they are ready to bring in operational firepower to streamline data, enhance client tracking, and build foundational systems to fuel long-term growth.
