tasteck vs. Joinways

Numerous businesses allocate funds for advertising every month, often without fully grasping which platforms generate favorable returns. While they may monitor customer foot traffic, they typically overlook a detailed examination of their clients' spending behavior. Tasteck was founded by professionals with industry experience rather than by a typical software company. After spending 16 years in venue management, we transitioned from that arena, successfully elevating our annual revenue from 200 million to 1.2 billion yen. This impressive growth was achieved not through aggressive sales strategies but by carefully analyzing the financial impact of each advertising channel and discontinuing those that did not provide value. Tasteck distills this effective approach into a holistic product. Central to its design is an in-depth analysis of both customers and advertising channels, concentrating on the lifetime value of each source of acquisition, as well as trends in repeat purchases and customer loss. By linking each booking to its respective channel, Tasteck empowers users to determine the ideal monthly budget that each channel can support, leading to more efficient advertising expenditures. This method enhances profitability while also offering critical insights for future marketing initiatives, ultimately ensuring that businesses can continually refine their strategies for success.

Joinways is a CRM and event management platform created for venues that want to turn incoming event inquiries into organized, quoted, and confirmed bookings with minimal manual data entry. It is designed for reception halls, restaurants, rooftops, historic estates, unique venues, cultural spaces, museums, convention centers, seminar rooms, hotels, and resorts. The platform captures inquiries from email, web forms, marketplaces, messaging tools, and other sources, then extracts key information into structured records. It identifies details such as the contact person, company, event date, hours, guest count, budget, event type, conditions, deadlines, catering needs, AV requirements, atmosphere, access constraints, and logistics. This gives teams a clear view of each opportunity from the first message without copying details into spreadsheets or separate files. Joinways prepares quotes using the venue’s own templates, prices, terms, and workflows so staff can review, edit, and send professional proposals quickly. It also tracks quote status, signatures, follow-ups, reminders, confirmations, and function sheets so no inquiry is left unmanaged. The visual planner helps teams see availability by week, month, room, or venue, including confirmed events, optioned dates, and open slots. Joinways centralizes clients, companies, emails, activities, reports, and event records so the whole team works from the same current information. It integrates with tools such as Gmail, Outlook, calendars, Teams, WhatsApp, Slack, Stripe, SignatureAPI, OpenAI, LinkedIn, Instagram, and PMS systems for availability consistency. With automated extraction, shared planning, quote management, online signatures, follow-up reminders, and event documentation, Joinways helps venues own customer relationships while automating the operational work behind them.
