Explore the example

The meeting before the meeting

Two people. One meeting. Several things to get right.

A suitable venue needs to work for the meeting and both people attending.

Start with both journeys and food preferences. Then consider the occasion, atmosphere and budget together, so the shortlist reflects the meeting you are planning.

How it works

Start with both sides of the table.

The web-based platform considers both participants’ starting locations and preferences, balances their travel times and narrows the options using the occasion, budget and required business atmosphere.

The result is a curated shortlist with a clear explanation of why each venue fits. You can compare the options with the important details already in view.

  1. 01

    Set the occasion.

    A first introduction, a working conversation or a formal dinner will call for a different setting.

  2. 02

    Compare both journeys.

    Use both starting points and agree how far each person can travel.

  3. 03

    Set the requirements.

    Include each person’s food needs, the budget and the atmosphere the meeting calls for.

  4. 04

    Review the reasons.

    Compare the travel times, cost and practical fit of each shortlisted venue.
