Lord Hobo Brewing

The Challenge: Managing Events Without Centralized Systems

Lord Hobo is a Boston-based brewery and restaurant group known for its craft beer and dynamic taproom experiences. With multiple locations and a growing private events business, the team manages everything from small tastings to large private gatherings.

Before adopting Tripleseat, Lord Hobo struggled to manage its event operations efficiently. The team relied heavily on manual processes, scattered Google Docs, and one central email account, which led to frequent errors, lost visibility, and inconsistent communication with clients.

As Lord Hobo’s event business expanded, their manual processes couldn’t keep up. The lack of a centralized platform made it difficult to track details, share updates, and maintain accurate client information.

Human Error Slowed Growth

Before Tripleseat, one team member was juggling all event logistics manually, which left plenty of room for mistakes. With so many moving parts, even minor errors could lead to miscommunications, double-bookings, or lost leads.

Communication Barriers Between Teams

Because all event information lived under one personal email account, staff members across departments couldn’t access key details. This system caused confusion, delayed responses, and limited insight into event progress.

Disorganized Client Data

Lord Hobo stored client information in multiple Google Docs without consistent formatting or branding. This decentralized approach made it difficult to share updates, maintain professionalism, and confirm that client communication was on-brand and error-free.

Why Lord Hobo Chose Tripleseat

Lord Hobo’s leadership team sought a platform that could centralize all event data, streamline communication, and reduce manual entry errors. After comparing several systems, they found Tripleseat to be the most intuitive and effective solution for their needs.

They were particularly impressed by Tripleseat’s automation tools, reporting capabilities, and integration flexibility—all of which supported their goals for scalability and efficiency.

Key reasons Lord Hobo chose Tripleseat:

  • Centralized event management for all locations
  • Automated templates and task lists to save time
  • Clear visibility across departments
  • Branded, consistent client communication
  • Real-time reporting and analytics
  • Easy-to-use interface for staff training
  • Integrated lead tracking and conversion reporting
