Run a paid retreat.
Wellness, leadership, creative — set a per-seat fee, gate capacity, collect dietary notes at RSVP, ship the daily run-of-show.
Act 1 — Co-editors
Most group trips are planned by one person who eventually resents it. Trepic invites everyone in as a co-editor rather than a viewer: full read-write access to the itinerary, the ability to add stops, edit notes, propose changes, and reply inline to a co-editor's suggestion. The lead planner stops being a bottleneck; the trip becomes a shared document that the people on it actually own. Viewer-only links exist too, for the parents and plus-ones who want to see the plan without changing it.
Act 2 — The guest manifest
Send a single RSVP link and let it do the work. Each guest's response writes to the manifest: capacity gating against the trip's seat limit, dietary notes captured at the moment of RSVP, room pairings the planner can edit before the booking goes in. There is no second spreadsheet and no screenshot of a group chat. When the manifest is full, Trepic tells you. When it isn't, Trepic tells you who hasn't replied — and lets you nudge them without leaving the trip.
Act 3 — Voting and expenses
Group decisions happen on the trip, not in a side thread. Co-editors propose date windows, candidate hotels, or route variants; RSVP'd guests vote; the result is recorded once. And once the trip is underway, the who-owes-whom tracker quietly does the math: anyone logs a paid expense, tags who it covers, and Trepic computes the running balance. The settle-up at the end is one transfer per pair, not a Venmo scavenger hunt.
Act 4 — Charge a trip fee
Some group trips are events. A retreat with a per-seat price. A reunion with a shared villa to cover. A school excursion with a deposit due. Trepic lets the trip organizer set a per-guest fee at any point — flat or tiered — and collect it through the RSVP link the same way capacity and dietary notes are captured. Guests pay when they confirm; the manifest reflects who has, who hasn't, and what's outstanding. No spreadsheet of Venmo screenshots, no chasing the cousin who's "good for it."
Who uses Trepic group trips
If two or more people need to land on the same itinerary, this is for you. A few shapes of trip it handles well:
Get everyone to the villa.
Multigenerational rosters with room pairings, shared expenses, and a single source of truth your aunt can read on her phone.
Friends, not a focus group.
Co-edit the itinerary, vote on the hotel, split the rental — without a 47-message thread about whether Tuesday or Wednesday is better.
Off-sites without the spreadsheet.
Manifest captures dietary, accessibility, and arrival windows. Voting picks the venue. Trip-fee collection covers the team contribution.
School excursions, alumni trips, cohort weeks.
Charge a deposit, gate by capacity, send one manifest to chaperones, parents, or program leads. Compliance built into the link.
Wedding parties + welcome weeks.
Bachelorette, bachelor, the weekend itself, the post-wedding mini-honeymoon with friends — every roster has a place to live.
40th, 50th, sabbatical, mid-life regroup.
The trips where it matters who's actually there. Trepic holds the guest list, the votes, and the table on night one.
Mission trips, pilgrimages, service weeks.
Approved capacity, required documents, fee collection, and a clear manifest for the host organization — without a fundraising spreadsheet.
Team travel + training camps.
Roster locks at capacity, paid-or-pending status on every seat, dietary notes routed to the catering bill before you arrive.
Why we built this
Group trips collapse not because the destination was wrong but because the coordination was. The capacity question, the dietary question, the room-pairing question, the who-paid-for-the-villa question — every one of them gets re-litigated in a thread, and the planner ends up with screenshots in a folder. Trepic absorbs that work. The thing you wanted to do with your friends becomes the thing you actually get to do with your friends.
