01 — Why this, here

Temecula runs on wineries and wedding venues booking events out of an inbox.

Temecula sells occasions. Wine Country tasting rooms hosting weekend visitors, the wedding and event venues off Old Town, the vacation-rental and hospitality operators in Redhawk and Vail Ranch. The business is the booked date — the wedding eighteen months out, the corporate buyout, the club pickup weekend. When your revenue is a calendar of committed dates, the thing that costs you money is the double-booking, the deposit nobody confirmed, the event detail that lived in one email thread.

What we find is a venue or tasting room running a real events business on an inbox, a shared calendar, and a deposit spreadsheet. The coordinator holds the true state of the season. A planner asks if a date is open and the answer takes three people and an hour to confirm. It holds until two inquiries collide on the same Saturday, and the system can't tell you until it's already a conflict.

The fix isn't a hospitality platform priced for a hotel group. It's a small single-tenant app that owns the event flow — inquiry, hold, deposit, confirm — and the season at a glance. Built once, owned by you, no monthly fee on top of a seasonal margin.

02 — What we build

The minimum software that runs the business.

  • Single-tenant Next.js + Postgres build — no SaaS subscription forever.
  • The three to five features that actually move the needle, nothing more.
  • Stripe for payments, Resend for email, Clerk for auth — boring infrastructure that works.
  • Full source handoff. You own the repo. No vendor lock-in.
  • Handoff documentation a non-technical operator can read on a Saturday.
  • Hosted on Vercel + Neon — you control the accounts, we set them up.

From $14,000 · 4 to 10 weeks · Owner-operated.

03 — What this looks like

Three real shapes this takes in Temecula.

A boutique winery in Wine Country. Tastings, club pickups, and small events booked across an inbox, a reservation app, and a deposit sheet. We build an internal app: an event and tasting calendar with capacity and conflict detection, deposit collection through Stripe, club-member records, and an automatic confirmation email. The tasting room and the events side finally see the same calendar.

A wedding and event venue near Old Town. Books a year out by reputation, with inquiries, holds, and deposits tracked by hand across email and a spreadsheet. We build an events app: an inquiry form, an owner-side calendar with room and date conflict detection, hold-and-deposit tracking through Stripe, and a milestone email sequence to the couple. The coordinator stops being the only person who knows if a date is open.

A vacation-rental and hospitality operator in Redhawk. A few dozen homes, bookings split between a portal and a phone, cleaning and turnover on a whiteboard. We build an internal app: a property and booking record, a turnover schedule tied to checkouts, and Stripe-backed deposit and balance collection. The turnover crew and the office work from one list.

04 — Honest scope

This is right if you run a real Temecula business, you can name the three to five workflows eating your week, and you want software you own instead of a platform that bills every month. It is not right if you want a multi-tenant booking product to resell — that is a bigger build, and we refer it out.

We're a San Diego studio; Temecula is reachable in person inside about 75 minutes, and most of the work runs remote regardless. When it matters, we'll come walk your venue or tasting room for an hour — that beats a six-page requirements doc every time.

This page was drafted from a structured brief and hand-reviewed before launch. The work itself is custom, owner-operated, never templated.
