Events and Private Dining Requests
Put an event on your events page, and take private dining requests for the rooms you open to them.
Add an event
- Open your page from Edit your page, then choose More and Events.
- Press Add an event.
- Fill in the name, date, time, price, how many tickets, where it takes place and how long it runs.
- Set the last day for refunds and a description.
- Press Put this event on sale.
Adding an event needs your bank connected on the Payments screen.
An event in the main dining room or the whole restaurant pauses online table bookings there. An event in one dining area leaves the rest open.
The event shows on the host's day list with its times and room.
Share the address under Your events page. It is the page where guests find your events.
Cancel an event
Press Cancel, followed by the event's name, then confirm.
The event comes off sale and every ticket is refunded in full to the card it was paid with.
Open rooms to private dining
- In the page editor, choose Dining Areas.
- For each room, set Private dining to Can be booked privately.
- Add how many guests it holds, and a minimum spend if you want one.
- Press Save and publish changes.
Your page then links to your private dining page, where guests pick a room, date, time, party size and occasion.
Answer a request
Each request arrives in Messages and in your business email.
The conversation shows the date, party size, room and status, with Accept and Decline.
Accept and Decline mark the request. Write to the guest from the same conversation.
