How do I add a new hall or chalet?

Everything in this module revolves around the venue: bookings are made on it, pricing is set for it, and it is what the public booking site displays. This is where you start.

Steps

1. Open Halls & Chalets → Venues — Figure 1 — then a new venue — Figure 2.
2. Enter the Arabic and English name and choose the venue type: hall, chalet or rest house.
3. Enter the capacity in people, the city, the address and the WhatsApp number.
4. Enter the base price, the full-day rate before any seasonal pricing rule.
5. Set the minimum notice in days; it stops a booking arriving hours before the event that you cannot prepare for.
6. Write the amenities and the description in both languages, and paste the Google Maps embed code.
7. Set the status to active and save.

Notes

• Capacity is not a marketing field; customers compare on it before they call, and overstating it comes back as a complaint on the day.
• A sensible minimum notice protects your setup team more than it protects the calendar.
• Do not delete a venue that has past bookings; set it inactive so its financial history survives.
• Saving the venue does not show it to customers — see “How do I publish a venue on the booking site?”.
