While Eastern Helps You Execute Your Next Great Event, Here’s Help with The Planning Part

When it comes to hospitality and catering, a lack of communication and planning can lead to disaster. Add to it the ever-changing needs of a client or event changes and your left constantly scrambling trying to please everyone. It can be frustrating and ultimately drain you of the passion you had for the catering and hospitality craft.

Socialtables.com (www.socialtables.com) aims to change that. Their product is simple; a cloud based event-planning software that is adaptable to your workflow.

Example: You’re given a layout that matches your venues dimensions. You then have the ability lay out tables according to your events needs. Guests then RSVP via an event posting on a social media site like Facebook that can be linked to Social Tables. Immediately their name pops up on a guest list that you can drag and drop on to the seats around the tables, with their faces showing. If you’re forgetting someone Social will let you know.

And while the software gives room to have a lot more complex schematics they make sure it remains user friendly. The idea, according to Social Tables, is that you can “concentrate on executing, not planning.” At any time you or anybody on your staff can access the Social software via phone, tablet, or computer and immediately see what the game plan is in an easy to understand way.
