Taking bookings for quiz nights and live music
A quiz or a band fills the room, and the people who book ahead are the ones who actually turn up. Setting each night up as an event gives you a cap on numbers, an optional entry price and a page your regulars can find.
Add the night as an event
Go to Events and menus, then Add an event. Name it, for example "Thursday Quiz". Fill in Date, Times and Capacity (covers). If you charge entry, put it in Price a head (optional). Use Description to say how it works: team size, prizes, food served until. Press Save event. An event is for one date, so add one for each week you want to list.
Share the room, or take it over
If the quiz runs alongside normal diners, leave Close normal table bookings for this date and time unticked. For a ticketed gig where the whole room is for the band, tick it.
Deposits for ticketed nights
For paid gigs, fill in Deposit a head on the event. You need Deposits set up with your own Stripe account first. Deposits are on Pro.
Team size
Quiz teams are groups, so check Largest party online under Tables is big enough for a full team, for example 8.
Drinks to the table
If you use Order and Pay, teams can order from a table QR code without leaving their seats during the quiz round.
Tell your regulars
Share the event on your booking link. If your Mailing list is switched on for sending, you can email people who agreed to hear from you. See building a mailing list the right way.
