How Belles Beach House Streamlined Event Operations with Tripleseat

- Easily managed high event volume with clear calendars and workflows
- Proved the value of events using built-in reporting and visibility
The Challenge:
Managing a High Volume of Events with Limited Resources
Belles Beach House is a tropical-inspired restaurant and event venue located in the heart of Los Angeles. Its laid-back vibe and tiki aesthetic attracts both local patrons and private event clients looking for a unique coastal atmosphere. Despite being a relatively new venue, Belles has quickly become a go-to destination for social and corporate gatherings.
Before adopting Tripleseat, Belles Beach House faced challenges managing multiple event requests, client communications, and back-of-house coordination—all while running a high-volume restaurant operation. As an events team of one, Courtney struggled to keep track of inquiries, event details, and reporting using a mix of spreadsheets and email threads.
As event demand grew, Belles Beach House needed a better way to manage inquiries, streamline communication, and stay organized. Handling 25–30 events each month required a centralized system that could support the entire process from lead capture to event execution.
Inconsistent Lead Management
Leads arrived through multiple channels, including social media, phone calls, and emails. Without a single platform to capture and organize them, Courtney spent significant time tracking inquiries manually, often risking missed opportunities.
Communication Gaps Between Teams
Coordinating event details between front-of-house and back-of-house teams was cumbersome. Important updates could easily get lost in email chains, leading to confusion during setup and execution.
Manual Reporting & Limited Insights
Courtney had to compile event and revenue reports manually, taking hours each month. This process made it difficult to provide upper management with timely insights into lead conversion, event performance, and ROI.
