Hi folks,
I know some of you sell food and beverage in Tessitura. This is something we are about to start and I think I have it mostly figured out, but wanted to post here to see if anyone else had some thoughts or different ways of doing.
Let me know what you think :) I haven't setup much yet, so still have time to make changes!
Production Season - CAFÉ
Performances - 1 per each 'category' of items we are offering (ie: Beverages, Food, Add-ons, etc..)
Price Types - Variety in each 'category' such as Coffee, tea in Beverages; Cookie, muffin in Food
Price Zones - to Define sizes in options such as Coffee, Tea, etc...
My current thought is to only have a single performance for the full year...but I am so used to building one for every single day...that I am not sure if that's a good call. But it seems excessive to build 365 of each category. Thoughts?
Also, I was trying to cut down on price types a bit, and considered making one performance per item and instead using price types that are more general like 'small' or 'item' to avoid having tons of price types to manage. So for example under 'Coffee' performance there would be 'small' 'medium' 'large' price types and under 'Cookie' performance there would be 'item' price type. But this doesn't work at all if I want one of these per day so I moved away from it...but it might be a better option?Anyways, this is a bit all over the place, but hoping it might spark some thoughts or ideas.
Hi Derrek, we don't do this but there are many orgs that do, so they would be better sources; however, I would lean towards creating a facility called Cafe, then have each section be a category like Bev, Food, Add-ons; then price types for all your different items, then zones for sizes. I would still do a performance for each day you are open which would make reporting easier. I would think this could be set-up using quicksale. Cheers.
