A practical buying guide

Venue enquiries, group bookings and daily run sheets

How can a bar or event venue organise enquiries and the daily booking diary?

VCMP Encore is the relevant product for guest enquiries, bookings, a diary and run sheets. My Venue handles screen content, while SOLO POS addresses the counter. Begin with the enquiry-to-event process you need to support.

A useful demonstration, step by step

  1. Map the stages between a new enquiry, a confirmed booking and the event itself.
  2. Bring your booking types, areas, group sizes and any payment requirements.
  3. Build a sample day's run sheet with the exact fields the floor team needs.
  4. Agree which existing records must move and how the first live service will be checked.

  • Combined and per-venue requirements
  • Diary and area allocation
  • Deposit and confirmation workflow
  • Run-sheet fields and any till handoff

A booking-system replacement should be evaluated against complete workflows. Do not assume identical features or automatic migration from another supplier.
