RippleA conference is a group booking with a room count, a room block and a ballroom — usually in three systems.
When the function space, the catering and the room block belong to the same account and the same folio, the sales team quotes from real availability, the operations team sees what is coming, and the organiser receives one coherent bill.
What events and meetings will cover.
From the first enquiry to the final invoice.
- Spaces and capacity
- Each function space with its capacities by layout — theatre, classroom, banquet, reception.
- Time-slot availability
- Spaces booked by the hour, half-day or day, with set-up and break-down time held.
- Packages and catering
- Day-delegate rates, menus and equipment built into packages.
- Quotes and proposals
- Proposals priced from real availability and sent for agreement.
- Deposits and billing
- Deposits taken against the event and charges posted to the same folio as the stay.
- Other bookable resources
- Spa treatments, tables, activities and equipment with their own time slots and capacity.
What hotels can do today.
Extras and services — food and beverage, spa, transport, activities — can already be added to a stay and charged to its folio. That is posting a charge, not booking a resource: the events offering adds what posting cannot, which is spaces, time slots, capacity and quotes.
