During the celebration
Keep the recognition path visible without turning the event into a checkout experience.
Aplauso for events
Let guests recognize the whole team behind a memorable event.
Aplauso creates a clear, optional recognition moment for servers, bartenders, captains, coordinators, and behind-the-scenes teams, even when the host settled the invoice long before.
Built for shared serviceSeparate from required chargesEvent-level context
Where the opportunity lives
Recognition gets lost in the moments banquets and catering teams create every day.
Aplauso belongs at the point where the guest feels the value, not only where payment happens.
At the bar or service station
Give guests an optional way to recognize the people serving them directly.
After the event
Let the host or guests recognize the team while the service memory is still fresh.
Beyond the final invoice
Keep voluntary appreciation distinct from deposits, labor charges, and required service fees.
Product proof
Shared recognition needs a policy before it needs a promise.
Authorized users can review eligibility and simulate a complete 100-share-unit policy before publishing it for future tips; Aplauso does not turn the guest into the workforce allocator.
The people behind the experience
Let guests recognize the work the way it actually happened.
Aplauso can direct recognition to an individual, role, or shared team without asking the guest to understand the organization behind the service.

What the interaction connects
Every thank-you arrives with its service context.
Guests get a cashless recognition path while permitted operators receive a service signal with evidence and boundaries.
Recognition beyond the invoice payer
Give people at the event a path to recognize service even when they are not the invoice payer.
Defined shared recognition
Match the experience to a person, role, or defined event team.
Clear event feedback
Connect the response to the specific service moment and team.
Event-specific evidence
Understand what guests and hosts valued with the event and team context attached.
A rollout you can learn from
Start with one event type where the service handoff is easy to see.
A focused banquet, wedding, or catered event creates a clean baseline without changing every workflow at once.
Choose the event type
Select a repeatable format with a clearly defined service team.
Clarify the recipient
Explain whether recognition belongs to an individual, role, or event pool.
Review trust and participation
Look at guest use, team understanding, feedback, and distribution clarity together.
What waiting costs
Tonight’s unhappy guest is tomorrow’s review.
Every shift you can’t hear your guests, problems go public, great people go unnoticed, and you find out last.
Self-serve setup. No subscription or setup fee.
Reviews you never saw coming
A low rating reaches a manager privately first, so you have a chance to make it right before it goes online.
Great people who feel invisible
The people who make guests happy want their work noticed. Show them by name, with the guest’s words and tips attached.
Guests who leave unhappy and silent
Know how guests felt today, by person, team, and location, instead of waiting for next quarter’s survey.
Straight answers
Questions banquets and catering teams ask
Is an Aplauso tip the same as a service charge?
No. Aplauso is an optional recognition path. Required charges and contractual gratuities should remain clearly separate.
Can guests recognize a whole event team?
Yes. The experience can support a defined shared team or an individual role depending on the event model.
Do event guests need an app?
No. They scan a code and use the mobile web experience.
How should a catering operator start?
Begin with one event type or service team and expand only after the first rollout is clear to guests and staff.
