About us
A team of designers and developers who have spent years building bespoke software, with a tool for the people who lay out function rooms.
Where the name comes from
From the kitchen. The mise en place is what a chef does before the first diner walks in: everything prepared, measured and in its place, so that nothing has to be improvised during service. What happens beforehand is what decides whether service goes well.
Laying out a room is exactly that, but with tables. The day of the wedding is not the moment to discover that a waiter with a tray doesn’t fit between two tables, or that there is one more diner than there are chairs, or that table 7 blocks a fire exit. MisePlan is the mise en place of the function room: the work beforehand, done to scale and checked.
Hence the name: mise en place and plan.
What we want to happen
That an events venue stops drawing its rooms in PowerPoint and counting diners in Excel. Not because it’s badly done — it has been done that way for thirty years and it works — but because neither tool knows how big a table is, and that is why the plan never quite matches the room.
MisePlan does know. It works in real millimetres: drag a table where it doesn’t fit and it tells you while you’re dragging, not on the day of the set-up. And out of that same plan come the kitchen sheet and the set-up sheet, without typing anything twice.
The room is drawn once. After that it is reused for every event that passes through it, each with its own layout and its own guest list.
What you can check
No small print and no promises. Everything on this list is also written in the legal notice, the privacy policy or the cookie policy — documents that bind us.
-
A registered company, based in Barcelona
Registered name, tax number and postal address are in the legal notice, where the law requires them. This is not an ownerless brand or a website with no address.
-
Your data, in the European Union
The server and the database are hosted in Germany (Contabo GmbH). They do not travel outside the European Economic Area.
-
Every venue sees only its own
Accounts are kept apart by the database on every single query, not by the screen. A bug in the interface cannot show you someone else’s wedding.
-
No trackers inside the application
No advertising, no social network pixels, no external measurement tools. A wedding’s guest list feeds nobody.
-
Fifteen days’ trial, no card
No card is asked for to try it. When it ends the account turns read-only: your rooms and your lists stay where they are and come back when you subscribe.
-
In your language, and your team’s
English, Spanish and Catalan, both in the application and on the sheets that get printed. Everyone picks their own.
Who makes it
A team of designers and developers in Barcelona who have spent years building bespoke software for corporate clients: internal tools, commissioned by one company for one problem, used every day by people who have a job to get done and no patience for a program that gets in the way.
Two habits come out of that, and they aren’t learned building generic software. The first is going to watch the work before writing the code, because a bespoke commission is paid — and gets paid — for getting it right. The second is that the software adapts to how people work, not the other way round: with an internal tool there is no option of telling the staff to change their method.
That kind of commission costs what only a large company can afford. MisePlan is the opposite: the same way of working, within reach of any events venue — an estate, a farmhouse, a hotel, a catering company — with no bespoke commission and no six-figure quote.
The software is made and maintained here; it isn’t resold and it isn’t subcontracted. When you write to support, the person who built it answers.
