Frequently asked questions

Can I use Perfect Venue with Toast?

Yes. Many restaurants run Toast as their POS and use Perfect Venue to manage private events. Perfect Venue handles event inquiries, proposals, and payments, and Toast stays your POS.

What's the difference between Perfect Venue and Toast Catering & Events?

Toast Catering & Events is a Toast add-on built around catering orders that connect to the Toast POS. Perfect Venue is built for selling private events and buyouts, with digital proposals, e-signatures, online payments, and automatic BEOs.

How much does Toast Catering & Events cost?

Toast doesn't list a price for Catering & Events. The subscription starts after your first 10 free orders, and guest email communication and catering online ordering need the Pro tier. Perfect Venue publishes its pricing, starting at $199 a month per location on annual billing.

Can Perfect Venue charge a card on file after an event?

Yes. Perfect Venue lets you charge the guest's card on file after the event, for extras like a bar tab or late add-ons.

Does Perfect Venue accept ACH payments?

Yes, on Premium and Enterprise plans. ACH bank payments cost $5 per payment, which is less than card fees on a large event balance. ACH isn't available on the Professional plan.

You're in great company

Our restaurant group had been using Gather and were really happy with it. However, when we migrated to Tripleseat, we found the user experience to be overwhelming. We're so glad we found Perfect Venue because it is quick to learn, easy to use, the team has great response time and it’s more affordable. It has also helped us streamline and secure our payment processing and guest experience. We’re so glad we made the switch.

Perfect Venue allowed me to organize and revitalize the Event’s Department for Ivywild. Before Perfect Venue, I juggled multiple email inboxes, Excel, Word, Google Docs, a paper calendar, and Google Calendar. Perfect Venue consolidated all of that and saved me 3 hours a day. It also made it easier for me to capture more guests and increase vital revenue.

Events Director, Event Center
Gather was our sales team's main tool and it was perfect for our needs. We were then told we had to switch to Tripleseat and it was a nightmare. From the migration, to guests getting confused on how to pay, to training our staff on how to use it - it was a mess. The switch to Perfect Venue has been great and surprisingly easy!
Sara R.
Event Sales Manager, Fine Dining Restaurant
I've been an event sales manager at breweries and restaurants for almost a decade. I've used both Tripleseat and Perfect Venue and there is no comparison. I can do the same tasks in Perfect Venue with half the amount of clicks. Perfect Venue is so easy to use that new team members pick it up on their first day with little guidance!
