Catalog items

Learn how to add Catalog items to your venue

Through MeetingPackage, you can also easily boost your additional sales related to meetings and events. This you can do in the catalogue. The items listed in the catalogue will be shown to the client at the time of making the request/booking and they can easily add them to the order without having to separately enquire for them. 

 

 

Choose Catalogue from the left side menu. If you manage multiple properties, you can choose which venue you are adding the catalogue items for from the drop down menu.

 

From the tabs you can choose, what kind of sales items you are listing. On the “Menu” tab you can list entire menus, such as coffee break, lunch and dinner. You can add a new item from the blue plus icon below  the listing. If you don’t want to enter the items manually, you can also import your additional sales items from a CSV file.

 

To list your items manually, after adding a new row from the plus sign, start by typing the menu name. You can add a more detailed description of the menu by clicking “Edit” on the description column.

 

Add the description by typing in the field on the pop up window.

 

Determine the quantity of this item available to be ordered. In case you have unlimited quantity, check the box for it. Alternatively, you can leave it unchecked and type the number of available items in the text field. Fill in the price info and the VAT percentage. You need to fill only one of the price columns and when you enter the VAT percentage, the system automatically calculates the price in the empty column.

 

From the “Unit” column, you can use the drop down to choose, whether this item is charged per person, hour or unit. You can also choose, which meeting rooms this menu is available to be ordered in. When you tick the box for online, this menu will be shown to the clients at the time of making the request. If you want to especially boost the sales of certain items, you can tick the box for promoted and these items will show first to the clients on the list

 

You can also add service times for when this item is available for clients. Click edit on the Service Time column and determine the times and the available weekdays in the pop up window. Close the pop up by clicking OK.

 

After you are ready with listing your menus, remember to save from the green button.

 

On the Menu Items tab, you can add individual menu items, such as bottled water, fruits etc. Click the tab to fill in the items. You can add the items to the list the same way as you did with the menus.

 

On the Miscellaneous tab, you can list other sales items, such as equipment that are rented for a charge.

 

On Services tab, you can list different services that are available at your venue for the guests for an extra fee.

 

At the Accommodation tab you can  let the clients know that you offer accommodation services that can be added to their meeting offer. You can fill in your accommodation capacity for different room types and add a description of the rooms. The pricing details will not show to the clients, because room prices usually change constantly so no need to fill those at all. When you tick the box in the Online column, the clients will see at the time of booking, that you also offer accommodation and they can request the price and availability for the quantity of rooms they need.
