EventReception brings event diagrams, seating plans, guest check-in and event management into software for hotels, venues, caterers and event professionals. Guests can be arranged at tables or chairs after importing a list from Excel; teams can manage RSVPs and groups, then export table lists to Excel or PDF. Its e-GuestList app supports online and offline check-ins, imports Excel guest lists and syncs activity across devices in real time. Check-in reporting covers attendance, no-shows, walk-ins, activity by minute and device breakdowns, with PDF and Excel exports. Other listed tools include SMS seating, venue navigation maps and payment checkout through Viva. A free check-in account allows unlimited events with up to 30 guests per event, and the software demo has a 14-day trial. EventReception is available on Android, iOS and web. The MAX-150 plan costs 19.00 € per event for up to 150 guests and two tablet devices; monthly plans range from 90.00 € to 570.00 €.
