On the Catering pace report, does the system subtract changes and deductions to show an accurate revenue number?
If an estimated revenue number is entered at the time of booking and then the guarantee number is higher, is the new revenue number pulled to the report?
Why is there a difference between events catering pace and Booking catering pace?
Answer:
The Catering Pace Report is based on Menu Items and all of the Revenue summaries are broken down into individual Revenue Groups or Revenue Categories. There is also a total of all Revenue Groups or Revenue Categories selected. You will see Revenue for definite, tentative and lost Bookings/Events with definite Revenue being compared to the budget.
The Catering Pace Report will pull the most recent Revenue from Menu Items on Bookings/Events meaning any changes you have made to Menu Items (dollar amount, attendees) will be the information shown on the report. Invoice Discounts, Taxes and Service Fees are not shown on this report.
If sourced by Booking (ie any menu items within the Booking) & revenue is based on Booking Date. If a Booking is over multiple days, it'll split the revenue evenly over each day. If sourced by Event, (ie any menus assigned to an Event), revenue is based on Event Date. If there is a discrepancy when running by Booking or Event it would either be due to the dates, or Menu Items that have been added to a Booking, but not allocated to a specific Event.
