The best venue sales tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have been using Tripleseat since 2019 and it has streamlined our booking process so well! Having lead forms on our website and social media platforms that feed directly into the Tripleseat platform makes life very easy. Being able to set tasks by lead or event makes follow-up and admin duties very manageable. The ability to create contracts with ease is a huge time saver, as well as having picklists with all of our menus. It's been a game changer.

Great Platform.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use TripleSeat to create contracts for catering events like Weddings, Baby Showers, etc. It allows clients to review and approve contracts, choose options and gratuity, and sign. The system also allows us to communicate with clients and then creates a log of that communication, which is attached to the contract profile for the event. It also allows our payroll and accounting team an easy reference for sales and gratuity data.

  • Makes client communication easy.
  • Allows reports for our accounting and payroll team.
  • Easy contract creation.

Cons

  • More reporting options.
  • Could be more user-friendly.

  • Helped us organize and plan catering events better.
