The event calendar entry and dispatch area is used to enter all event appointments. Here you can enter basic event information, prepare the event quote, email or print an event quote, email or print the event contract, create the kitchen cut-sheet, and ultimately bill the client.

The event entry mechanism allows quick entry to prepare the event price quote and then create the customer billing invoice.

When the event is completed, customer invoices can be produced. Invoicing can occur prior, during, and after the event. Receipts can be designated as deposits to help in accounting for deposit activity. Printed invoices will show total amount billed to date for all invoices of the event plus receipts to date with an amount remaining due.

Catering Event Calendar

The main work area of the program is the catering event calendar area.

Customer Event Entry

Event Entry is used to enter event calendar, price quotes, billing information and later to invoice the event. Time sheet entries and document imaging of the event documents are recorded in the work order.

The accounts receivable area is used to enter customers, cash receipts, and miscellaneous transactions. Invoices from the invoice entry area update the open item receivable files. Cash receipts are applied to these unpaid invoices. Summary and detailed aging reports can be run by customer number or alphabetical by customer name. On screen inquiry allows a quick review of a customer account transaction history. Customer statements can be printed in customer number or name order.

The accounts payable area is used to enter vendors, vendor invoices and checks. Vendor invoices can be entered with detailed line item general ledger distribution. Checks may be generated with computer checks or manual checks. Computer checks are dot matrix pin fed or laser printed in either a pre-printed or all-purpose check. Check entry can derive from open invoices in the payables open file or from direct entries that are non-AP. Aging and cash requirements reports are available in both summary and detailed form sorted by either vendor number or vendor name. History is maintained for both invoice and check entry.

The payroll area is used to enter employees, their associated deductions, and payroll checks. You may generate computer printed checks and/or enter manual checks from your checkbook. Use the manual check entry to pre-calculate your payroll checks if you continue to keep your payroll on your checkbook. Computer checks can be printed in a pre-print format or all-purpose format ( use the same check for accounts payable ) in both dot matrix pin feed or laser printed checks. Full history of all checks is maintained to make easy work of quarterly reporting and end of year work. Laser or Pin-fed W-2’s can be printed. One very useful feature at the end of the year is the ability to start a new payroll year without clearing the past year’s entries. This is very helpful when all reconciling entries have not been made in the first few weeks of January and you need to generate the first payroll of the new year. Last year’s W-2 reporting can be printed even after a new year has begun. Withholding is calculated for federal and all states. If your company has city withholding required, you can enter the needed tax rates in the city tax tables.

The general ledger area is used to enter accounts and transactions. Multiple balance sheet and income statement layouts are allowed. Layout control allows complete flexibility in output. Trial balance reports can be printed in both summary and detailed, with or without monthly subtotals, and with all accounts or starting and stopping at designated accounts, and within a stated day range. The general ledger allows continuation into a new year without closing the prior year. Monthly detail is not released until the end of the year closing. It is possible to continue posting of entries with several years entries still available for trial balance, balance sheet, and income statement printing. This is very useful to the companies who have to make adjusting entries at the end of the year, but need to start the new year.

All in all, this is one of the most complete and easy to use systems for the catering and event planning industry that can be found. Over the next few years, enhancements will be made to constantly improve the system and help us better serve your company. Your suggestions are always welcome, so keep us informed of your company’s needs.
