Listening to our customers: how Event Planning became GlanceMenu's most requested feature

"We need a better way to manage event-planning clients. Can GlanceMenu help?"

That question — and dozens like it — came from catering hall owners, banquet managers, and wedding venue operators who already trusted us with their dinner service. You asked, we listened, and today Event Planning is GlanceMenu's most-requested feature.

Your challenge, our mission

When we launched GlanceMenu, we focused on revolutionizing restaurant-style table service. But event teams saw bigger possibilities. Managers told us:

These weren't feature requests. They were pain points touching daily operations. So we built a portal with event professionals, for event professionals.

What you asked for

Package tiers that sell themselves. Clients see your packages, pricing, and what's included up front. No more "can you send me your options?" emails on a Sunday.

A planning page, per event. One secure token link per client. They build the menu, place guests, and note dietary requirements before the event. No login, no password reset loop.

Dietary and allergy notes the kitchen can trust. Guests' needs arrive on every ticket — not on a Post-it at the pass.

Real-time updates. When the client changes the seating, your floor sees it. When your team locks in the final menu, the client sees it.

What's next

Event Planning is shipping now. Next up: stronger vendor coordination, automated deposit reminders, and a client-side signature flow for final approvals. If you have a specific ask, email us at product@glancemenu.com — that's still how the best features get built.
