In the fast-paced world of events and hospitality, efficient communication between venues and vendors can be a game-changer.
Hivey was born from a deep understanding of the challenges faced by these businesses and a commitment to providing a streamlined, user-friendly solution.
Where the Idea Came From
The spark for Hivey ignited in 2017 when our CEO and Co-Founder, Tyler Rowland, worked as a taproom manager.
The scheduling process back then was a logistical nightmare.
Endless phone calls, emails, and manual coordination consumed valuable time that could have been better spent enhancing the customer experience.
Later, transitioning into corporate catering revealed the potential of recurring partnerships between businesses.
Restaurants relied on consistent revenue, while companies appreciated seamless, stress-free events.
It became clear that small businesses, especially mobile vendors like food trucks, needed a simpler, more reliable way to secure these opportunities.
By 2020, the shift to the tech industry provided the tools and insights needed to build a platform that could tackle these inefficiencies head-on.
Combining years of hospitality experience with cutting-edge software development expertise, Hivey was designed to simplify the lives of venues and vendors alike.
