Halls that sell by the hour, and an event that keeps its own books
A hall is a room that sells by the hour. The diary per venue, the banquet event order, charges onto the same folio as the rooms, and — in the books — an event that is a ledger of its own, so a wedding booked in March and billed in November can say whether it made money.
The hall sells by the hourA venue with a diary, sold by the slot rather than the night, billed on the same folio as the rooms — because for a city hotel the wedding is often the larger revenue line.
The banquet event orderThe one document the kitchen, the floor and the client all work from — the menu, the timings, the setup, the equipment, the numbers — printed from the booking.
An event in the booksDeposits held as client money, every cost tagged to the event, and a margin read when the last bill is in.
