The week we keep hearing about from owners

Slow quote response times cost bookings

An event planner requests catering quotes from three places. You respond 6 hours later; they already signed a contract with the one who replied in 15 minutes.

Menu adjustment back-and-forth

Sending spreadsheets, adjusting items for allergies, updating prices by hand - a massive admin headache for every single event.

Chasing deposits and final balances

Remembering to invoice deposits at contract signing and tracking down final balances 7 days before the event eats your week.
