Free installation
SOCIAL TABLE 4.0 by the usual neXt
An immersive dome in your outdoor area. At zero cost.
Your customers sit down, pull out their phones and stop experiencing your venue. Your outdoor area looks just like the bar next door. And meanwhile, the competition keeps growing.
We install a 6-meter Tholus Dome geodesic dome in your outdoor space for free. We organize immersive events that bring in new audiences. You earn from bar sales, PR commissions and an outdoor area no competitor can replicate.

The problem
Your outdoor area is no longer enough
Tables, chairs and a parasol. Every venue offers the same thing. Customers choose where to go out of habit or for the lowest price. And when they sit down, they stare at their phone screen instead of the person in front of them.
Your outdoor area is identical to the one 50 meters down the road. There's no reason to choose you
Low average spend and short visits: people order little and leave
In winter the outdoor space is dead. In summer it's full, but not differentiated
The solution
Turn your outdoor area into a destination
The Tholus Dome is a 6-meter geodesic structure with 360-degree immersive projection, adaptive LED lighting and ventilation. It seats 15–20 people in an environment that doesn't exist anywhere else. And we install it at your venue for free.

Why it pays off
9 benefits. Zero risks.
Everything the partnership brings to your venue, with no investment
Zero investment
No purchase, rental or installation costs. The dome is completely free. We take care of everything: structure, technology, maintenance.
New customers every weekend
Every event brings people to your venue who would never have come otherwise. From 4 to 12 event slots per month, concentrated on weekends.
Extra bar revenue
Attendees order before, during and after the show. The late afternoon event generates the aperitivo. The evening show generates the after-hours.
Ticket commissions
Your venue can receive commissions on tickets sold directly through its own channel. Commercial terms are defined clearly before launch.
The only one in the area
A 6-meter immersive dome in your outdoor area. No competitor can offer this. Media attention and organic word-of-mouth guaranteed.
24/7 immersive environment
Outside of events the dome stays on with ambient projections. Your customers drink in a unique atmosphere. Every day.
Free social media content
Photos, videos and stories shared spontaneously by attendees. Online visibility for your venue without spending a single euro on advertising.
Optional wellness
The dome can host yoga, meditation and breathwork sessions with pre-loaded content. An exclusive offering for the morning slot.
Zero risk. Always.
Minimum 5-month partnership. If it doesn't work, we remove the dome at no cost and with no remaining obligations. Period.
A typical day
The dome lives all day long
Sunrise wellness
Yoga, meditation, breathwork with pre-loaded immersive content. A unique offering that attracts morning customers. Self-managed or with an instructor.
Immersive lounge
Automatic ambient loop for bar customers: breakfast, coffee, lunch break in a magical atmosphere. No intervention needed.
Afternoon retreat
Relaxing projections on autoplay. Perfect for those looking for a moment of relaxation after activities. Your customers discover a unique space.
EVENT → Aperitivo
90-minute immersive show organized by the usual neXt. It ends at 18:30 and the group naturally stays for aperitivo. This is the key mechanism.
EVENT → After-hours
Second evening show. Same mechanism: event ends, post-show drinks begin. The dome feeds the bar during the most profitable hours.
Night loop
Automatic ambient projections for the after-hours. Customers stay, drink, live an experience they'll talk about. Tomorrow they'll come back with friends.
The dome in action
See what happens inside
From the 2025 winter season in Rivisondoli and Roccaraso. Dozens of events, hundreds of people, outstanding satisfaction.
Field-tested
Winter 2025: Rivisondoli, Roccaraso, Ovindoli
This is not just theory. The Tholus Dome was tested throughout the entire 2025 winter season in Abruzzo, with dozens of events including fulldome projections, themed nights and family shows. Outstanding results.
My kids didn't want to leave the dome. We went three nights in a row and discovered something new every time. An experience you can't find anywhere else.
— Family, Roccaraso — Winter 2025
I thought it would be the usual tourist attraction. Instead, we found ourselves talking to each other like we hadn't in months. Our phones? Forgotten in our pockets the entire evening.
— Couple, Rivisondoli — February 2025
Since the dome arrived, people come on purpose. They stay for aperitivo, come back in the evening, bring their friends. It's become the reason they choose us over the bar next door.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to your questions
💰 Is it really free? What's the catch?
No catch. We earn from ticket sales for the events we organize inside the dome. Your only cost is the electricity (estimated €80-250/month) to keep the dome running. Installation, maintenance, content and technical management are fully covered by us.
📐 How much space do I need?
You need an outdoor area of at least 35 sqm (approximately 7x7 meters), flat and accessible, with an electrical connection nearby. The dome has a diameter of 6 meters. We carry out a free site survey to verify the suitability of the space.
⏱️ How long does the partnership last?
The minimum duration is 5 months, the time needed to adapt the offering to the local area. At the end, both parties freely decide whether to continue. If it doesn't work, we remove the dome at no cost and with no remaining obligations.
📅 When do you have the dome and when do I use it?
Events are concentrated on weekends: Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and evening, Sunday afternoon. Approximately 4-12 slots per month in total. On weekdays and outside event slots, the dome is entirely at your disposal with active ambient projections.
🎫 How do PR commissions work?
Your venue can also sell tickets for our events through its own channel. Any commissions recognized for the venue are defined clearly in the contract before the partnership starts.
🔧 Who handles maintenance?
All routine and extraordinary maintenance is on us. In case of technical issues, we step in quickly. You don't have to worry about a thing.
🌧️ Does the dome work in winter too?
Yes. The Tholus Dome is usable year-round thanks to the ventilation system and the option to add heating. We successfully tested it throughout the entire 2025 winter season in Abruzzo.
🏗️ Is the installation invasive?
No. Assembly takes about 1 working day and does not involve any permanent structural work on the venue's space. The dome is fully removable.
🍸 Can customers eat and drink inside the dome?
Absolutely. Attendees can bring and enjoy bar products directly inside the dome during shows. This is one of the key revenue mechanisms for the venue.
🧘 How does the wellness option work?
In the 7:00-8:30 time slot the dome can host yoga, meditation or breathwork sessions with immersive content pre-loaded by us. The venue can manage these sessions independently or with an instructor, creating an exclusive offering.
