Overview: Event classifications
Event classifications describe the different types of events that can be booked at a property. Examples include Breakfast, Dinner, Meeting, and Reception. Each event classification can be configured to automatically populate default information on an event, including:
- Start and end times
- Function room setup
- Post - This indicates if the event needs to display in the Event Posting report and on the reader board.
- Average checks - This is the amount that is most often charged for this event. For non-package events, average checks are used for forecasting revenue in reports until the BEO is detailed and the event is marked Done. For package events, forecasted revenue is based on the event's revenue breakdown.
- Event Classification Items - If the same items are always needed for an event, you can attach them here and they are automatically applied when an event is created.
The user can change these defaults, if needed, for each event.
Package event classifications
If your property sells packages, you can create package-specific event classifications that include the package's menus and items. Those menus and items are automatically added to the events, and the Included in Package checkbox is selected by default. If users need a different menu or item, they can always change the defaults. However, they need to manually select Included in Package for each new menu or item added to the event. For more information, see Overview: Package events.
