Pros:

Total Party Planner is the best catering software. I use it several times a day. It keeps track of all my events in an easy to use platform.

Cons:

It sometimes has glitches. I usually point them out and they get fixed sooner or later. The phone app needs real help.

TPP the overview

TPP had a big learning curve and takes a lot of effort to put together but once you have the system in place it can do amazing things.

Pros:

I like that TPP has different app integrations that allow us to almost seamlessly use other programs such as staffing software.

Cons:

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

Used for three years and it was great but the new view they have rolled out is full of flaws!!!

It was a great product that served our company for several years. It allowed our business to grow and service a retail store front, a catering and bakery business in a new expanded facility. Currently we are spending more time trying to fix problems with the software than we are spending with clients. It is costing us money in labor, time off task, plus the added expense of redoing the event over and over to get it correct.

Functionality

Pros:

It was easy to use, make changes on and produce a quality product. We were not having any issues so why they made big, big changes I do not understand. For a while we could continue to use the original system but then over night the old system would not work to process payments, create menus, etc. No new manual was created and you must tech support every time you create something new. For the money we pay we should have a quality product again.

Cons:

Changes were made without preparation to train the users on the new product and the product was not field tested and fixed before the release.

TPP-Totally Perfect Planning

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

I love having the ability to customize and brand all our communications with clients. We were a very small 2 person team, but having the ability to manage booking and send professional proposals, was absolutely our main priority. I liked that everything was in one place, and could be integrated into other apps/services if needed.

Cons:

We just do not use it to it's fullest potential and that's our fault. It has a lot of data entry to make sure it is running completely smooth, so it's hard sometimes to figure that out. But customer service will help you if you can make time and make it a priority to set up.

Pros:

This program saves hours in all aspects of event planning - initial proposals, budget considerations, contracts, menu pricing, tracking profits, you name it. Their staff is incredibly efficient and helpful. I was working remotely late on a Friday - after business hours - had an issue, and they contacted me back within 30 minutes and had the problem fixed. Awesome!

Cons:

It would be nice if it could integrate with FSA Star Solutions database. A final count due date indicator would be nice.

Overall it was great. We got our money's worth. It was easy to use and efficient until it wasn't.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

We used this product for many years as we were starting our Catering Company. It did exactly what we needed it to do and it was extremely easy to learn and navigate

Cons:

We found as we got more into the catering business and our other services grew that this platform was just not able to grow with us. We were not able to customize the way we needed it. We couldn't track our customers the way we would like and it did not integrate with our other systems so we opted for a system that we could use between departments.

Pros:

Easy to setup events, integrates with google calendar and quickbooks. Great for tracking events, preparing menu's and listing setup instructions. Also used for Labor tracking and cost, menu creation and inventory.

Cons:

when adding items having to enter amount and check them off also before it will post, seems like double work. Some reports are do not give enough detail. I would like more items available when I setup my own Query.

This has made my life much easier. I needed something that was pretty much out of the box good to go and I found it. I would highly suggest at least looking at this product.

Pros:

I am a pretty savvy person with new software, but this was about the easiest to use product I have come across in some time. This is something I do outside of my day to day so I needed something I could learn quick and easily manipulate. This meets that requirement!

Cons:

I have not had many issues with this, but I do worry about what happens as I scale. However that is a next level concern. There are features I am leaving on the table, but I that is where I am at right now.
