About

Built inside an entertainment company, by the people who run one.

EntertainHQ did not start as a product. It started as the system one entertainment company built to run itself — hundreds of performers, thousands of events, casting calls going out by text every week — and it was in daily use long before anyone else could buy it.

The story

The spreadsheet broke first. Finding the right performer for Saturday meant a hundred texts and no record of who said yes. Contracts were PDFs in email threads. Call times, costume pulls and client deposits lived in three tools and one person's head.

So we built the thing we needed: one casting call that texts only the right performers, a contract that exists the moment you accept someone and gets signed from their phone, reminders that go out on their own, and a client side that goes from quote to paid without leaving the event.

Then other companies started asking for it. EntertainHQ is that system, made so any entertainment company can run on it — in its own workspace, with its own data, its own number and its own brand on every screen.

The people

Two of us, two sides of the same business.

Kenali Kendrick

Co-founder · the booking side

Kenali runs bookings the way the product does it: casting calls, applications, contracts, the day of. Every workflow in EntertainHQ was worked out on a real calendar of real events before it became a feature — and she is the reason the product asks the questions an operator actually needs answered.

Michael Bean

Co-founder · the product

Michael builds the software. He built the system this company runs on — the texting, the contracts, the talent portal, the client side — and he is the one turning it into a product other companies can run their business on, with the same care for the day it goes wrong as for the day it goes right.

How we work

Three things we won't compromise on.

Your data is yours

Every company runs in its own database, on its own address. Your roster, your clients, your contracts — never mixed with anyone else's, never sold, exportable when you ask.

Performers are people, not records

No app to install, no password to remember, no text they didn't opt in to. A performer's first experience of your company on EntertainHQ should feel like a good agent, not a form.

It has to work on the night

A booking system is judged at 6:30 PM on a Saturday. Every reminder, every check-in, every brief is built for the person standing at the venue, on a phone, with no time.
