📆 Revision Date:

The Banquet Menu feature in EventKey allows you to efficiently share curated or customized menus with your clients directly from the Event Record.

You can select from pre-loaded banquet menus or tailor a menu based on the client’s specific needs, using the available templates. Once finalized, the menu can be sent directly to the client for review—streamlining communication, saving time, and ensuring accuracy.

This tool helps standardize offerings while allowing flexibility for custom events, making it easier to manage client expectations and deliver consistent, high-quality service.

Navigate to Home > Event Management

EventKey Dashboard (Home Screen)

To begin, navigate to the Dashboard and use the Search box to locate the event.

Enter the full or partial Event Name into the search field. The system will display a list of matching events, or, if there is an exact match, it will appear directly.

Once you’ve identified the correct event, simply click on the event name to open it.
