The challenge

01
Manual spreadsheets
Heavy reliance on spreadsheets consumed hours of valuable time.
02
Last-minute stress
Changes created stress across kitchen and front-of-house teams.
03
Team misalignment
Communication gaps increased risk of costly mistakes.

“If Creventa was switched off tomorrow, we’d be tearing our hair out. It’s now a fundamental part of how we operate.”

Noelle Vaughn, Sales and Events Executive, Woodlands Park Hotel, on her favourite feature

“I particularly love the place cards, because place cards can be so difficult, lining it all up, and the mail merges I have used in the past. This is just super simple. It is all made so easy for you so that you do not miss anything important. And it takes that fear out of it as well, because you are so fixated on: I must have this data available, it is so important. Creventa makes it so easy to record that information.”

Noelle Vaughn, Sales and Events Executive, Woodlands Park Hotel, on guests who are less confident with technology

“They are definitely a little bit daunted when you first start to talk about anything tech related, because they are in that old-school mindset of: I will call everyone, I will take all of their dietaries, and then I will give you a nice list. So it depends on how you sell it. It is just a case of saying that this is so streamlined you do not even need to get involved; it takes the stress off you, and you see their eyes light up: oh, OK, that is great. It allows them to focus on other things to do with arranging their event, rather than chasing the bits of paperwork and the menu and the meal orders and the dietaries. And it also means it is more accurate in terms of the dietaries and, importantly, the allergens, so nothing gets mixed up. Once you have explained all of that, you can just see their eyes light up.”

Noelle Vaughn, Woodlands Park Hotel

“It saves so many hours. You’d need another member of staff to handle that much work without it.”
