About Tyler McKinnon
Benies.ai — Live Experience Commerce for Hospitality & Lifestyle Benies is redefining how restaurants, hotels, spas, and lifestyle venues create demand—not through discounts or traditional marketing, but through live stream commerce and time-driven experiences designed to sell inventory in advance. We believe loyalty isn’t built through points or promotions. It’s built through moments, timing, and access. What We Do? Benies.ai is a live and fixed-price commerce platform where venues can- Live stream and auction premium experiences - Release limited-time offers with countdown urgency - Sell tables, rooms, appointments, and events before they happen - Turn idle capacity into real-time demand Customers don’t browse coupons - They compete, discover, and secure experiences worth showing up for. Why We Exist - Traditional marketing is broken- High CAC - Low conversion - No timing intelligence - Little emotional connection Benies was built to replace that with a system where- Demand is created, not chased - Revenue is generated in advance - Discovery happens in real time - Experiences drive connection What Makes Us Different1. We are not a coupon platform.2. We are not a reservation system.3.
