More room for hospitality at Colonie 7

Colonie 7 is an event venue in Merksplas-Kolonie, in a former working farm on a protected heritage site. The team hosts dinners, parties and business gatherings there. We spoke to Femke about how she keeps that diary together.

A place full of stories

Colonie 7 is no ordinary hospitality venue. Step inside and you walk straight into a piece of history. Once a place of order and labour, today it's a warm meeting place where nature, heritage and hospitality go hand in hand. Guests come here for a relaxing walk, a good glass of wine or a bespoke party, always set against a backdrop that fires the imagination.

Working more efficiently with Catermonkey

With a wide range of events, from ‘dinner & dance’ to business gatherings, a smooth way of working is essential. “Catermonkey has helped us enormously to work more efficiently,” says Femke. “Where we used to do a lot of admin by hand, everything now runs centrally and automatically. We use almost all the features: from the calendar and quotes to invoicing and run sheets.”

That connection doesn't just save time, it also makes room for what really counts: the guest's experience.

More requests, less work

Thanks to the connection with their website, customers can now put together part of their quote themselves. “We get more requests than before, and spend less time putting together quotes. All we have to do now is check it over, fill in the rest and send it off.”

That makes the difference. “We can now put more attention into hospitality. Catermonkey takes a big part of the admin work off our hands. That lets us work more efficiently and with more focus on the customer. And yes, it helps us bring in more parties.”

Recommended for any venue

Would she recommend Catermonkey? Femke doesn't hesitate. “Any venue that wants to spend less time on admin and more on hospitality, good food and good company benefits from this. Catermonkey doesn't just work faster, it makes the whole process clearer too.”
