Ande is an employee entertainment platform that helps the Cloudflare team recruit talent and run entertainment programs.

Cloudflare is one of the world's leading providers of security and performance for the internet.

About Cloudflare

Cloudflare protects and accelerates internet properties for millions of customers. As the company grew, client dinners, partner events, and recruiting hospitality became a cross-team program — not a handful of one-off reservations.

The Challenge

Entertainment lived across inboxes, cards, and local restaurant relationships. Approvals lagged. Finance could not see spend until receipts arrived. Teams needed a way to scale hospitality without adding coordinators.

  • Streamlining internal processes
  • Scaling entertainment programs globally
  • Keeping every booking inside policy
Ande has been an incredible partner for Cloudflare. Their team is incredibly responsive and helpful, and the platform replaced a pile of manual follow-up.

Why Ande

Cloudflare chose Ande to put discovery, booking, payments, and compliance on one workflow so hosts could move quickly and finance could close the books.

  • Preferred hospitality partners with corporate rates
  • Approvals and policies before the reservation is made
  • Receipts coded and ready for the ERP

The Results

Teams book dinners and events in the same place they report spend. Coordinators spend less time chasing paper, and hosts stay with guests instead of vendors.

  • Less administrative time on each entertainment program
  • A single view of client and partner hospitality
  • Faster close for finance

Looking Ahead

Cloudflare continues to expand entertainment programs with Ande as the system of record for how the company gathers.

  • More teams booking through the same policies
  • Deeper venue partnerships in key cities
  • Richer reporting on hospitality ROI
