Event packages — the offers you sell repeatedly
The couple browsing at midnight doesn’t want a form. They want to see that the autumn tasting is ฿4,200 a head, includes a paired wine flight and the private room, and seats twelve to twenty-four. Then they shortlist you.
The rule
A package is a sales offer, not a booking. It quotes a price; the booking owes the kitchen a prep list. One package can be quoted to many bookings, and any booking can ignore the catalogue and quote line by line.
Creating one
- Event packages → + New package. A draft opens.
- Fill in the name, the URL slug, a one-line tagline and a longer description.
- Add a hero image and any gallery shots.
- Highlights — one tick per line, kept concrete: “4 courses”, “Glass of Champagne on arrival”, “Private room for up to 24”.
- Pick the pricing: per head multiplies by the booking’s guest count; flat fee charges one number regardless — right for room hire and buyouts.
- Set min and max guests to bracket the offer.
- Flip Status from Draft to Published.
A live preview on the right shows exactly what the visitor sees.
The two public toggles
- Show packages on public site — opens or closes the whole catalogue, so you can build a few before launching.
- Allow customers to accept quotes online — every quote you send carries a private link they can approve from their phone, no login. That’s what turns the catalogue into a funnel: they read, they request, you personalise, they tap accept.
How a booking uses one
Pick the package from the dropdown on a booking and it inherits the price, description, photo and highlights. Champagne Wedding at ฿6,000 a head with 40 guests becomes one ฿240,000 line.
From there add extras as separate lines — sommelier hire, valet, an extra hour of the room. The package is the spine; everything else sits on top.
Good to know
- Archive rather than delete when you retire an offer, so past quotes that referenced it stay readable.
- A published package appears on the public catalogue within seconds, provided the site toggle is on.
