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. > > Their customer service is awesome: friendly and responsive. ----- ### "TPP the overview" — 5.0/5 > **Alexis** | *17 July 2024* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Used for three years and it was great but the new view they have rolled out is full of flaws\!\!\!" — 3.0/5 > **Karen** | *29 January 2018* | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "TPP-Totally Perfect Planning" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *6 May 2023* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. ----- ### "Fantastic\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ilana** | *24 April 2017* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/360633/total-party-planner?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/360633/total-party-planner) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
