GridX Events vs Pxier Salon

GridX Events is web-based software for managing marquee, banquet hall, catering, event-planning, and hotel event-space operations. It follows work from leads and quotations through bookings, event costs, and per-event profit and loss. Venues can build quotes from reusable service and catering packages with per-guest costs, discounts, and taxes, then send a branded PDF and portal link for approval. Bookings support staged payment schedules, and the availability calendar checks blackout dates and overlapping reservations. Menus can include courses, per-guest rates, and dietary tags; a printable Banquet Event Order can assemble the timeline, menu, headcount, layout, staffing, and requirements. Procurement, inventory use, labour, and direct expenses can be assigned to events and rolled up with revenue into a P&L. Accounting features include a double-entry general ledger with automatic posting from invoices and receipts, service-tax invoice lines, and tenant tax profiles for NTN/STRN. Installment and overdue-balance reminders can go by WhatsApp, SMS, or email, and online payments can reconcile with booking schedules and the ledger. The free Venue Base Plan includes leads, quotations, bookings, calendar, teams, expenses, ledger, roles, permissions, and 2FA. A free trial is also offered with all modules unlocked and no credit card required.
