Total Party Planner is a focused system for catering teams that have outgrown spreadsheets, Word proposals, and disconnected invoices. It is strongest for menu-driven event operations and client documents. It is not a general event platform for ticketing, attendee engagement, or conference logistics.
The product is intentionally built for catering and private event operations, not broad event tech.
G2 and Capterra show different starting-price signals, so current pricing should be confirmed directly.
Menus, recipes, packages, templates, and inventory-style data must be built before the system saves time.
G2 reviewer themes include praise for ease and support, but some users have asked for stronger inventory handling.
Public pages describe integrated financial management and partners, but buyers should confirm their accounting, payment, and supplier workflows.
| Plan | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Month to Month | $119/month | G2 lists additional users at $25 each per month |
| Annual Discount | $1,190/year | G2 lists annual savings and additional users at $20 each per month |
| Vendor Quote | Confirm with vendor | Capterra lists a lower starting price, so current plan details should be verified before budgeting |
Total Party Planner earns its place when catering documents are the work: proposals, menus, BEOs, invoices, contracts, and client communication. It helps teams move out of scattered files and into a repeatable catering workflow.
It should be evaluated as catering operations software, not as a conference or ticketing platform. The key diligence is pricing, setup effort, and whether its integrations match your finance and kitchen workflow.
