Booking Types - Allowing customers to pre-order from a menu at the point of booking/making an enquiry

← Settings - Booking Types FAQs
Once you have set up Collins Pre-orders, you can add Pre-order menus to a booking type to allow customers to pre-order food and drinks at the point of making a booking or enquiry.

To do this, go to

> Settings
> Venues
> Select your Venue
> Booking Types and select the booking type you want to add menus for
> Scroll down to Pre Order Settings 

Here you will be able to determine what payment is required if you're making this available while booking. Please note, no payment will be requested if it's only going to be enquiries coming through. You can also include service charge 

  

You can then activate whether the pre-order is available while the customer is booking, or after they've received the confirmation email. More information on this here. 

Then,

> Scroll down to 'Pre-order Menus'
> Click 'Add Menu Rules'
> select the menu you wish to add from the drop-down and then fill in any rules you wish to apply to this menu

SAVE

> you can add multiple menus for customers to select from if you wish.

PLEASE NOTE: The minimum order is setting a minimum monetary value the customer has to reach when choose from your menu. If they are only making an enquiry, we would recommend having this set to 0
