🎉 Events
Events are the things you host — a tasting, a concert, a themed night, a workshop. They are published on your website as a programme and you can link to them from your newsletter.
You'll find them under Marketing → Events.
The module only appears for business types that have a programme — restaurant and event venue. For every other type it never shows up in the admin panel at all. See Pick your business type.
Creating an event
- Marketing → Events → Create.
- Fill in the Title.
- Set Starts at and Ends at (date and time).
- Add the Location — where it takes place.
- Write a Short description (shown in the listing) and Event details (the full page).
- Tick Published and save.
While Published is unticked you can prepare the event at your leisure — it won't show up on the website.
Links and call-to-action
An event can carry event links:
- Facebook event URL
- Instagram post URL
- Tickets URL — ticket sales through an external seller
- Event website URL
You can also set a custom button: a CTA label (e.g. "Reserve a seat") and the CTA URL it points to.
Events and reservations
An event does not create a reservation by itself — it is programme information. Guests book in the usual way through the booking form.
The exception is the event venue business type, which can sell tickets against the capacity of a specific event occurrence.
Tips
- Write the short description so it stands on its own — it appears in listings and often in the newsletter too.
- For a recurring event (e.g. "Tasting night"), create a separate record per date so guests see the actual day.
- After an event has passed, keep it published only if you want it to stay in the programme archive. Otherwise unpublish it.
