Feature Ideas

Have ability to control discounts by product. I may want to offer a percent discount on a room, but not have that same discount apply to food. Or I may want to allow 100% discount on a basic room reservation, but not allow that same discount on a full party. We allow certain groups to reserve rooms for free, but currently they could use that same code to book a party, which would be very expensive for us.

I want to see more reports and have them be much easier to read. Busiest time of the day, busiest day of the week, etc

Currently we can phone customers when their party is cancelled. Having a toggle-able automatic cancellation email would expedite our process whille creating a record of all our communications with customers! Currently we can re-write the invoice message and resend the invoice, but that creates a point where staff members could make a mistake.

Would love to be able to quickly look down the schedule page and see remaining balances due (perhaps right next to the 'price' column?) without having to open each order individually. Would also love to be able to hide certain columns of the schedule page that we do not use (checklist/host) -- I know these items have a purpose, but we do not use them in our workflow and would love to be able to hide them to clean up the screen a bit.

When sending out the invoices with all the "rules" and information it would be nice if you could select on specific templates to send with it. I book banquets that want to see proof of their payment and I want to send them terms but their terms are different than generic parties. It is hard to adjust information for each individual banquet.

It’s hard keeping track of everyone in the party and if they filled out a waiver or not. I’d be helpful for there to be a guest list that shows if every individual guest filled out a waiver on each reservation.

This will help labeling customers and placing few categories to alert the staff (such as VIPs, had bad experience, blacklisted, employee)

WE NEED A WAY TO KEEP INVENTORY SO WE KNOW WHEN TO ORDER.

An employee created a one time schedule for a party reservation in July 2024 - the customer wanted to book for January 25 2025, but the employee accidentally set it for January 25 2024. This led to an unfortunate double booking. We should have caught it (ie it said Thursday instead of Saturday) but I think it would make a lot of sense if the system could prevent someone from adding a one time schedule for a date that's in the past - or at least pop up a warning box that says "This date is in the past, would you like to proceed?" or something to that effect. Thank you!

Would love to be able to open up a time slot that can ONLY be booked via a private link. Whenever we open a custom time slot for a customer during a non-traditional party time slot, we always have to tell them it could technically be booked by anyone who searches for that date. We think it'd be helpful to have a way to open a private time slot that can only be booked through a specific link that we email to the customer - not available to everyone who searches for that date.

Party center could be a super great product but the development team is too slow. It’s been over 2 months since online booking 2.0 and it still doesn’t work. There are so many important features we all want to see but no one wants to waste money on something that will never happen. Please move faster with developing these frills or please give me my money back.

I'd love it if there was a way we could save a customers payment information to the system so when they add on food, drink etc at a later date than when booking we can easily take care of it rather than calling the customers or having them pay on the day. Many customers at our facility will reserve a time, then want to add on closer to the party when they have a better idea of attendance.

Please have the option to add a credit card processing fee.

Every place I walk into does this, so why can't we?? This should have been implemented already.

We we send out the receipt to the customer, the customer takes the receipt to the front desk to pay. The only thing tying the receipt to the customer is the order number. So we have to look at the order number then search thru our active orders to find in PCS.
