 Private Events vs. Club Events

2. To charge for Club Events with multiple attendees/payees, such as a New Year’s Eve Gala or a Mother’s Day Brunch, servers would create POS tickets for the individual member charges or you could set up an event in Event Manager on your Clubessential website calendar and individual POS tickets would be automatically created for each attendee.  

1. It is still recommended to use the Banquets & Catering software to schedule Club Events on your calendar,

1.  add service details to the event,

1.  and to produce internal event orders.
