DJ and AV quick start

Set up before load-in

Use one real completed gig to confirm the workflow, numbers, evidence, and safety boundaries before daily use.

The Booked Solid Gig Desk used for the DJ and AV first-run rehearsal

Before you connect anything

Keep the first pass small. Booked Solid should learn your real operating rules without asking for unnecessary access.

  1. Install the current desktop build.Choose Windows, Mac, or Linux from the download hub.
  2. Back up your existing files.Do not move or rename the source material until the rehearsal is complete.
  3. Write down your working rules.Currency, service area, quote structure, cost categories, and who may approve money or dates.
  4. Connect only what you need.Use your own browser and accounts. Never paste passwords or private keys into a playbook.

Terminal cheat sheet

Remember four requests

Open Claude Terminal inside your BookingHQ and say one of these. Booked chooses the current subscribed Play and keeps money, dates, and client messages behind your approval.

1. Run my morning sweep.

New inquiries, quiet quotes, upcoming gigs, payments, and anything waiting on you.

2. Qualify this inquiry and draft the first reply.

Captures the buyer, event, room, date, budget, and the missing questions.

3. Build the recommended quote for this event.

Uses your real offers, rates, logistics, and policies, then waits for approval.

4. Prep this show for load-in and strike.

Checks the rider, venue access, crew, gear, timing, balances, and confirmations.

First real rehearsal

Five checks before the desk earns your trust

Use real legacy data from a finished job, but do not contact the buyer or change a live booking.

  1. 1

    Create one completed gig from your real history and confirm the date, buyer, stage, source, and fee.

  2. 2

    Try adding the same gig again and confirm duplicate prevention catches it.

  3. 3

    Change one detail, save it, then use undo and confirm the previous value returns.

  4. 4

    Enter the agreed fee and real costs, then compare the estimated profit with your own calculation.

  5. 5

    Attach or cite the source evidence you would need to trust the booking six months from now.
