We are incredibly proud to see our work with Simon Cabaret featured in an article by Stripe Global. As a Stripe Implementation Services Partner, achieving the highest level of certification in their ecosystem, we take immense pride in the digital transformation we delivered for one of Phuket’s most iconic entertainment venues.
From Crisis to Growth: Simon Cabaret’s Recovery Post-COVID
When the COVID-19 pandemic forced Simon Cabaret to shut its doors for nearly two years, they faced a critical challenge: how to rebuild and future-proof their business for a more digital-first era. Before partnering with The Percentage Company, Simon Cabaret relied on outdated manual booking processes, had no online presence, and lacked a robust infrastructure to support ticket sales and payments.
In response, we provided a full-scale digital transformation that empowered Simon Cabaret to emerge stronger than ever. Since launching the new system, they have successfully sold over 750,000 tickets, generating more than 460 million THB in revenue in just three years.
A Bespoke, Fully Integrated Ticketing & Payment Platform
To drive Simon Cabaret’s revival and growth, we designed and built a custom-built admin platform that seamlessly integrates all aspects of their ticketing, sales, marketing, and reporting. This powerful system includes:
- Online booking & seat selection with automated or manual allocation
- Integrated payments with Stripe & multiple payment methods
- POS system installation & setup for seamless offline sales
- Agent management with unique URLs for commission tracking
- Event handling for private and public sales
- Comprehensive reporting & revenue tracking
- CRM with full contact management & marketing automation
- QuickBooks integration for seamless accounting
- Advanced fraud prevention with Stripe Radar
- Mobile ticket scanning & QR code integration
- Automated contract management for agents
- Custom pricing & discount structures for different sales channels
Building the Infrastructure for a Thriving Agent Sales Network
In addition to developing Simon Cabaret’s online booking system, we built a powerful infrastructure to support offline ticket sales. Our platform enables sales agents and resellers to seamlessly manage bookings, payments, and commissions through a unique agent portal with custom pricing and deposit handling. This has allowed Simon Cabaret to establish and scale a robust B2B agent network that contributes significantly to their overall ticket sales.
Marketing & Social Media Management
Beyond technology, we also lead Simon Cabaret’s digital marketing strategy. From website design and development to social media management, paid advertising, and email marketing, we ensure that Simon Cabaret stays top-of-mind for tourists and visitors to Phuket. Our integrated approach has significantly increased their brand visibility and online bookings.

By implementing this robust system, Simon Cabaret has achieved:
- 24% increase in authorization rates, reducing failed transactions
- 31% growth in online revenue due to a frictionless booking experience
- Zero fraud cases since integrating Stripe Radar
- 460+ million THB in ticket sales revenue over three years
