Event & Banquet Management

Introduction

Selling private dining, weddings and functions is a sales job that ends in a kitchen job. Someone enquires, you check the room is free, send a proposal, collect a deposit and then tell the kitchen and floor staff what to do. Event and banquet management software covers that route. It keeps a diary that stops double bookings, builds proposals and contracts with electronic signatures, and produces banquet event orders, the sheet that tells the team what happens on the day. Some products are for restaurants and bars with a function room. Others are built for hotels and large venues with room blocks and multiple properties.

Who needs it

Restaurants, bars, breweries and venues that take private events, and hotels with meeting space. It is worth having once enquiries arrive by email, phone and social media, and you lose track of who has a proposal or a deposit outstanding.
