Custom Events: Tailored Reservation Management for Special Occasions

While shifts are ideal for regular, recurring schedules, custom events are designed for one-time or non-recurring occasions. With Alex Reservations, you can create and manage events for specific dates, offering your customers unique experiences while maintaining control over reservations.

What Are Custom Events?

Custom events allow you to set up reservation schedules for specific days, distinct from your regular shifts. These events cater to unique or special occasions that don’t follow a recurring pattern.

• Flexible Scheduling: Define exact dates and times for your event.
• One-Time Setup: Configure all event-specific settings without affecting your regular shifts.

Examples of Custom Events for Restaurants

1. Seasonal Dinners: Host a special winter menu for a limited-time dining experience.
2. Holiday Events: Celebrate Christmas, Valentine's Day, or New Year's Eve with exclusive reservations.
3. Wine Tastings: Organize a one-night-only wine and food pairing event.
4. Live Music Nights: Set up bookings for evenings with live bands or entertainment.
5. Cooking Classes: Allow customers to reserve spots for a chef-led cooking session.
6. Private Events: Manage reservations for a corporate dinner, wedding, or other private gatherings.

Features of Custom Events

• Unique Date Configuration: Set up the exact dates and times for the event without repeating schedules.
• Custom Capacities:
  • Limit reservations based on the total number of seats available.
  • Assign specific tables for the event and automatically allocate them during booking.
• Event-Specific Payments: Require upfront payments or deposits for high-demand events to secure reservations.
• Detailed Time Management: Specify the duration of each reservation and control table turnover for multi-seating events.

Advanced Customer Options

• Preferred Area or Table Selection: Allow guests to choose seating areas (e.g., VIP section) or select specific tables from the floor plan.
• Special Instructions: Add custom fields for guests to provide details, such as dietary preferences or additional requests.

Benefits of Custom Events

2. Improved Customer Experience: Offer tailored booking options for exclusive events, making your restaurant stand out.
