RestauRent, the innovative platform simplifying private event space bookings, is excited to announce its expansion into two major metropolitan markets: Atlanta and Chicago. This latest growth milestone underscores RestauRent’s position as a trailblazer in the private event and hospitality technology space, transforming the way venues and event planners connect.
Since its launch in late 2022, RestauRent has grown exponentially, now offering over 1,250 bookable spaces across New York City, Boston, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Texas (Austin, Houston, Dallas), Atlanta, and Chicago. The platform’s rapid ascent has been fueled by its user-friendly technology, which simplifies the search for venues based on location, capacity, and amenities, mirroring the convenience of platforms like Airbnb and OpenTable.
“Our expansion into Atlanta and Chicago represents an exciting chapter for RestauRent,” said Nick Cianfaglione, Founder and CEO. “These vibrant cities are hubs for private events, and we’re thrilled to provide an easier, more efficient way to plan gatherings—whether personal celebrations or corporate events for companies like Hubspot, IBM, and Yelp.”
Revolutionizing the Private Event Industry
The private event market in the U.S. encompasses over 400 million occasions annually, from intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations. Despite this demand, the industry has long faced inefficiencies in venue discovery and booking. RestauRent addresses this gap with a tech-driven solution that benefits both venues and event planners.
Key milestones include:
- $3.3 million pre-seed funding backed by institutional venture capital firms such as Rogue Ventures, PS27 Ventures, and Collide Capital.
- Processing over 5,000 event requests in the past year, representing over $10 million in private event opportunities.
The investment will allow RestauRent to enhance its platform, expand its team, and grow its market presence in new and existing regions.
Perfect Timing for Expansion
RestauRent’s expansion into Atlanta and Chicago comes at a time when the private event market is booming. According to industry reports, the global event management software market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.6%, reaching $14.1 billion by 2028. RestauRent is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this trend, offering customizable and tech-enabled solutions that redefine the planning experience.
Looking Ahead
As RestauRent expands into Atlanta and Chicago, it remains focused on its mission to make private event planning effortless. With a robust pipeline of future markets and continued technological advancements, RestauRent is poised to become the go-to platform for private event planning nationwide.
Founded by Nick Cianfaglione, RestauRent emerged from a personal challenge when planning a family gathering. Frustrated by the fragmented booking process, Nick partnered with hospitality and startup veterans to create a seamless platform connecting venues with “everyday event planners.”
With co-founder William Tondo, the RestauRent team is driving innovation in the hospitality tech space, empowering venues to maximize bookings while simplifying the process for users.
