Function Desk press kit
The smart CRM for functions and event venues.
An AI agent reads, answers and follows up on every enquiry from the venue's own Gmail or Outlook inbox, and hands off to a person once a lead is ready to book. Founded in 2026 in Sydney, Function Desk is built for owner-operated function and event venues in Australia and the United Kingdom.
