Hostbook Special Events showing live event capacity, reservations, payment status, and guest check-in

What changes

Event inventory should belong to the room, not live in another spreadsheet.

Special Events connects the offer guests see to the tables, seats, timing, capacity, and operating decisions your team must protect during service.

Publish one focused event page

Give each event its own shareable booking link, description, schedule, availability, and venue-branded guest journey.

Manage deposits without overpromising

Create complimentary or deposit-required holds, track pending, paid, waived, refund-needed, and refunded statuses, and keep staff in control.

Run the door from the guest list

Invite parties directly, manage seat counts and notes, scan party-level QR codes, and check in the full booking together.

Protect the room around the event

Reserve selected tables, block overlapping reservations, carry physical-seat identity across alternate layouts, and keep remaining capacity accurate.

How it works

From setup to service, every step stays reviewable.

Public and staff-created bookings share one capacity count

Table conflicts are checked before publishing changes

Payment statuses are staff-managed in the current release

Cancelled paid deposits surface refund-needed work
