Key Features

Event Booking & Timeline

Manage the full event lifecycle from inquiry to final settlement. Track deposits, milestones, setup/teardown windows, and client communications.

Banquet Event Orders (BEOs)

Generate detailed BEOs with menu selections, room setup, AV requirements, and service notes. Email directly to staff and clients.

Why Banquet Facilities Choose FreshTally

Banquet facilities operate at the intersection of hospitality and event management. You need F&B inventory control, kitchen prep planning, staff scheduling, client communication, and financial tracking — all working together for every event.

FreshTally's Event Pro module was designed for exactly this workflow. From the initial inquiry through final settlement, every operational detail lives in one system. Your kitchen sees prep lists generated from confirmed menus, your floor manager sees room layouts and BEOs, and your accounting team sees revenue and costs in real time.

Whether you host 5 events a week or 50, FreshTally scales with your operation — multi-room scheduling, consolidated purchasing, and profitability dashboards that show you which events are worth pursuing.

The Full Banquet Event Workflow in FreshTally

Inquiry to confirmation. Capture event inquiries, schedule site visits, generate proposals with menu options and pricing, collect e-signed contracts, and process deposits — all in one place. No separate CRM needed.

Event preparation. As the event date approaches, FreshTally auto-generates kitchen prep lists, bar setup lists, and staffing needs based on the confirmed BEO. Your team sees exactly what needs to be ready and when.

Day-of execution. Staff check off setup tasks in real time from mobile. Room layout is visible to setup crews from the FreshTally app. Last-minute changes are reflected immediately across all views.

Post-event settlement. After the event, FreshTally tallies actual F&B consumption against what was planned, generates the final client invoice, and reconciles payments. Profitability is calculated automatically — before you leave the building.
