Instead of having guests pick a date then time, have them pick a day and then show them what times are available

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.

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.

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

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.

When a guest books a party online, they come across the "policy" section. We have a policy about "non-refundable deposits". They must accept this policy before moving on with the booking. It would be nice if "proof" of acceptance of this policy would be included in the event order somehow. So many guests said "I never read that when booking online" as most just click through things fast. The way it is now, we have NO proof that they even selected that option online because there is no record of them doing it. Not even the "activity log" shows that they have accepted the policy.

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 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.

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.

Adding a toggle for the Host option would help because with the current layout, Hosts are automatic and on the invoices we send it says "Hosts: Not yet assigned". I would not want guests to have the expectation of having a Host. It would also benefit for our larger groups that are not here for birthday parties but field trips or company events.

Right now when a customer’s reservation times out without payment or being completed without a deposit, an email is sent to us saying that the customer did not complete their booking. It would be nice for an automatic email to be sent to them saying “We noticed that you started, but did not complete your online reservation. Is there anything we can help you with? “ We’ve had several customers that thought their reservation went through and without us following up, they would’ve shown up without a room or activity available.

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!

when checking in members, I think it would be helpful if it stated whether or not the client is a member when we type in their name. Right now it’s hidden under their account information. I think it’d be helpful if we could see a check beside their name if they are a member
