How it works

From “we need a venue” to a reconciled invoice

Six steps that usually take a week of emails, calls and spreadsheets, handled in one place.

  1. 01

    Brief

    Type it in plain English, or let the AI concierge turn a quick chat into a structured RFP.

  2. 02

    Compare

    See matched venues with distance from your office, in-policy flags and what coworkers booked.

  3. 03

    Get direct quotes

    The RFP goes to matching venues, who quote you directly. Dates are held while you decide.

  4. 04

    Approve

    Policy is checked before any spend. Anything over a limit goes to the right approver on WhatsApp or Slack.

  5. 05

    Pay

    Pay the deposit online. Venues are paid out on clear terms once the event is completed.

  6. 06

    Reconcile

    You get a GST tax invoice with ITC tracked, and it syncs to Tally, Zoho or your expense tool.

For HR, EAs & team leads

Plan it like you have an events team

Offsites, all-hands, client dinners, Diwali parties. Tell Lufer what you need and get options you can actually book, inside your company's rules.

  • AI concierge

    It remembers your team's preferences and books from chat, on the web, Slack or WhatsApp.

  • Guest list & RSVPs

    Invite links, dietary needs, calendar invites and a shared event room.

  • Holds that don't vanish

    A countdown on every held date, released automatically if you pass.

For finance & procurement

Every rupee approved before it's spent, and reconciled after

One supplier on your books, policy checked up front, and GST you can claim.

  • Pre-spend policy

    Per-head caps, department budgets and tiered approval chains, enforced before booking.

  • Spend & forecast

    Spend by department or cost centre, with a forecast against budget.

  • ITC governance

    Claim or block input tax credit per invoice, with an audit trail.

  • Invoice OCR check

    Invoices are read and matched against the booking, so mismatches get flagged.

FAQ

Questions teams ask us

Who is Lufer for?

Companies in India that book team events, offsites, client entertainment and catering, and the venues and partners who host them.

How does Lufer make money?

Venues pay Lufer a commission on completed bookings. It's split out on their settlement, and any Section 52 TCS is shown alongside it.

Can we claim input tax credit?

Yes, where the event qualifies. Every booking has a GST tax invoice under SAC 998596, with CGST + SGST or IGST worked out from both GSTINs. Finance marks each invoice claimed or blocked.

Do our approvers need to log in?

No. Requests over policy reach approvers on WhatsApp or Slack, and they approve or decline in one tap, with the itemised details in the message.

Is our data kept separate from other companies?

Yes. Every table is isolated per company by Postgres row-level security, and concierge memory is private to the person who saved it.
