Great tool to run our beverage services

Reviewed on 2018/08/01

Pros

We use this on a daily basis to run our beverage service at our venue. It is great for tracking inventory and sales.

Cons

We would like to use this to book our clients into their space rental, but there isn't functionality for that at this point.

Pros

Everything. Literally everything is the BEST about TPP. From the ease of adding a contact, to booking an event, to even customer service. It's all INCREDIBLE

Cons

Only con-is I wish we could save our own customized contract that I re-do every time in Word. However, I feel like this feature will eventually be available.

Very useful for creating proposals and invoices. I also love the calendar.

Very useful for creating proposals and invoices. I also love the calendar.

Pros

The features I value the most is the easy ability to create proposals and invoices so easily. There are templates so you don't have to be an excel/word expert. I also find the calendar very useful for planning events.

Cons

The only negative thing I have to say is I believe the pricing is a little steep. They offer a fantastic service for companies who don't have much experience creating documents through word/excel/outlook.

Everyone working within TPP is kind, knowledgeable & super helpful. If anything else, you will definitely appreciate their amazing customer service. [sensitive content hidden] is amazing. She answers any questions that you have & checks in with you to see how you're coming along with the program. [sensitive content hidden] is super responsive & helpful when it comes to TPP Pay and is very friendly. [sensitive content hidden] (from Client Care) has been the best person throughout this entire process. He's very patient, caring & works hard for you to make sure that everything is running smoothly.

Pros

My favorite thing about this program is that once you have everything entered in for an event, all you have to do is pull up the report that you need & it's all compiled for you & ready to go. This has saved me a lot of my time! I now have more time to respond to clients faster & more efficiently.

Cons

The only con, that I have found so far, is just the beginning of the process can be a bit overwhelming. 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!
