Pros

“We love that we can create a detailed proposal in TPP, that becomes a working event plan, and that we can have one version for the client with pricing and client appropriate notes and an internal version without pricing and kitchen/internal specific notes.”

Laura H.

Owner

“We are just under 1 year of using the system and we are constantly learning something new within the system to better help our daily operations.”

Jessica V.

Co-Owner

“She answers any questions that you have & checks in with you to see how you're coming along with the program.”

Moesha L.

Event Specialist

Pros

We had an event schedule before we got PV and took the payment, but were easily able to show that the payment had been made with their “offline payments” tab so that we can still have all of the transactions in the correct area.

Zach D.

Event Coordinator

“Overall, it's a very efficient platform that makes event management much smoother, particularly for busy restaurants with multiple events happening at the same time.”

Vanessa V.

Events sales project managment

“Most importantly, our customers enjoy streamlined communication and fast response times, allowing us to provide better service for new as well as returning customers.”

Brenda Z.

Assistant Manager

Cons

“I don't like that TPP doesn't have the ability to update times or details once transfer to another software.”

Alexis M.

Event Planner

“Subscribed to TPP Pay and they have HIDDEN FEES that you would not believe- Every Day its Another.”

Neal G.

Owner

“Trying to get all the information together needed for this program & learning how to use it at the same time is overwhelming & time consuming. BUT necessary!”

Moesha L.

Event Specialist

Cons

“For example, there isn't a place to include the client's billing address on invoices, so we often have to create invoices manually as PDFs for corporate clients.”

Vanessa V.

Events sales project managment

“That the newly added features are only available on executive and that I now need to pay almost double”

Candace M.

Co-owner and CEO

“Some of the features I do find a bit clunky, and feel could be improved.”

Mel A.

Head of Hospitality Operations
