Clear ownership for event space inquiries
With event space inquiries, ownership, status and backup are visible at a glance.
What the venue had before
On a plan, what is already there is drawn dashed and what is new is drawn solid. This is the dashed part: how city center conference venue handled it before the work started.
The starting point
All event space inquiries mail arrived in one shared box watched by several people between other tasks. Responsibility attached to whoever felt guilty first.
Where it went wrong
When it comes to event space inquiries, two people sometimes answered the same message while another inquiry sat untouched. Covering a colleague's day off meant reading entire threads just to learn their status.
What we built
Requests now arrive with event date, guest count and room preference, an assigned owner and a straightforward status marker. Absences are covered by a nominated backup rather than by guesswork.
