REQUESTING PACKAGE ITEMS
If your venue uses packages, some bookings may include items that can be requested during the event. These items will appear under the “Details” category.
Depending on your venue’s flow, some or all included items may be requested when the guest checks in. Items not requested at the door remain available for order during service.
To request an included item:
- Tap the tick next to the item you wish to order.
- If applicable, adjust the quantity (e.g., one of two bottles of champagne).
- Tap “REQUEST PACKAGE ITEMS” at the bottom of the screen.
REQUESTING MENU ITEMS
During the event, tables may need additional service items like fresh glasses, ice, mixers, as well as food and beverages.
⚠️ Stay alert to your table’s supply of glasses, ice, and mixers — these can become blockers to consumption and service.
To request items:
- Browse the menu and add desired items to the cart.
- Tap “View Cart” at the bottom of the screen.
- In the Cart screen, you can:
- Adjust item quantities
- Add notes by swiping left or right on an item
- If payment is required, tap “Confirm Payment”. Otherwise, tap “Request Now”.
After placing an order, a banner at the top of the screen will confirm: “Your order was successful.”
