Tripleseat Software LLC Helping Restaurant Private Party Planners Say, "Sorry, We're Booked" - Restaurant Industry's Only Web-Based Customer Relationship and Event Planning Software Launches

The restaurant industry's only Web-based customer relationship and private event planning software has just officially completed the Beta release to select customers. Currently available by invitation only, Tripleseat promises to help enable restaurateurs in securing a greater piece of the growing private dining pie.

Maynard, MA (PRWEB) July 17, 2008 -- Tripleseat, the restaurant private dining industry's only Web-based customer relationship and event planning software has just completed its launch of the Beta version to invited restaurateurs. Thanks to overwhelming response from the restaurant industry, participation in the Tripleseat Beta was available by invitation only.

Drawing on both his restaurant/hotel catering and his software industry experience, Tripleseat Software LLC's founder Jonathan Morse envisioned the software as a total solution for restaurant private party planners. The simple-to-use technology is available in a variety of affordable plans to suit the individual restaurateur's needs. Each plan comes with a 30-day free trial and can be upgraded, downgraded or canceled at any time.

The National Restaurant Association's "2000 Restaurant Industry Forecast" states that "social caterers are one of the fastest-growing segments of the restaurant industry, with sales expected to reach $3.6 billion in 2000 -- a 5.7 percent increase over its 1999 level." According to the executive director of the National Association of Catering Executives, by 2006, catering had become "the second fastest-growing sector of the food industry behind nonalcoholic beverages and snack." That year, the industry boasted an estimated 7.6 percent growth rate, skyrocketing to $19 billion. Today, the combined restaurant private party and catering business generates approximately $27 billion annually.

These figures are impressive in their own right, but they're even more remarkable when compared to the overall restaurant industry as a whole. Indeed, "the outlook for the restaurant industry softened in October 2007, as the National Restaurant Association's comprehensive index of restaurant activity fell to its lowest level in more than four years." Clearly, private dining and catering restaurateurs are bucking the trend, but they could be outpacing their industry by an even wider margin if they updated themselves for the 21st century. As pointed out in a recent "Nation's Restaurant News" article, the fact still remains that restaurants' private dining rooms sit empty over half the time.

Tripleseat Software LLC's founder Jonathan Morse explains, "The majority of restaurants are still using Post-it notes and three-ring binders to manage their events. By leveraging the power of Tripleseat, they could be booking and planning private dining events from anywhere they have an Internet connection. In so doing, they could be saving themselves both time and resources, all while maximizing their business and improving their customers' experience."
