Products Overview

In EventKey, a Product refers to any individual item that can be included in an event package, menu, or setup—whether it’s perishable or non-perishable. Perishable products typically include food and beverage items such as scrambled eggs, bacon, Caesar salad, or filet mignon. Non-perishable products refer to event-related equipment and supplies like tables, chairs, linens, utensils, and serving trays. Products serve as the building blocks for packages and are used to define what is being offered to clients. Each product can be categorized, priced, and tracked to ensure accurate planning, quoting, and service delivery across all event types.
