Creating Events from a Templates

Catering templates provide a combination of events and defaulted resources that you can use to quickly create events for a block. You can select pre-configured catering templates provisioned with events and potential resources. The events and their resources are priced separately, unlike a Catering Package where a total price per person is defined for the events and resources.

After the catering template is booked, regular event management capabilities are available to add, delete, move, cancel, copy and update events.
