Alternatives
Looking for an alternative to your hotel pre-order software?
Hotels run the widest event mix in hospitality: weddings, conferences, galas, group dining and a Christmas season that multiplies everything. A pre-order process that copes in May can collapse in December. Here is what to look for next.
Creventa is the pre-order platform trusted by leading premium UK hotel groups, including Malmaison & Hotel du Vin and venues within the IHG and Leonardo portfolios, with hotel plans from £149 per month billed annually.
Why venues go looking
Christmas is unmanageable. Malmaison & Hotel du Vin put it plainly: Christmas “would now be unmanageable without Creventa”. Hundreds of parties in a few weeks need automated collection, not heroics.
Every property does it differently. Groups need consistent reports and allergen standards across sites, so any coordinator can cover any hotel.
The PMS stops at the booking. Your PMS and sales systems get you to a confirmed booking; the guest-level layer after that should integrate, not duplicate. Creventa works alongside Opera, Delphi and Guestline.
What to look for instead
- Multi-property consistency with per-venue branding
- Integration with your PMS and sales and catering systems
- Weddings, conferences, galas and joiner nights on one platform
- Allergen compliance documented per named guest
- Delegated host access for organisers and couples
- Hotel plans from £149/month (Premium) or £249/month (Suite, most popular)

Frequently asked questions
Does Creventa replace our PMS or sales system?
No. It integrates with Opera, Delphi and RezLynx (Guestline), picking up guest-level pre-orders, allergens and seating after the booking is confirmed.
What does hotel pre-order software cost?
Creventa hotel plans are £149 per month (Premium) or £249 per month (Suite, the most popular, adding ticketing, joiner parties, delegated host and QR table ordering), billed annually.
Can it handle our Christmas volume?
That is its proof point: over 2 million festive dishes were ordered through Creventa at Christmas 2025, and joiner nights ran at up to 700 guests.
How do hotels collect menu choices for weddings?
The couple gets delegated access: they share the link with guests, everyone picks their own courses and declares allergies, and the couple arranges the table plan themselves. Tottington Manor prepares a 70 to 80 guest wedding in about 30 minutes this way.
How do hotel groups keep event reporting consistent across properties?
One platform with the same chef report, food pass and allergen record at every site, so any coordinator can cover any hotel; Malmaison & Hotel du Vin run exactly this across their portfolio.
What response rate do hotel event guests give to pre-order invitations?
With branded invitations, no logins and automatic reminders, 99.2% of guests responded through Creventa at Christmas 2025.
