Frequently Asked Questions
What is a banquet event order (BEO)?
A BEO is a detailed document used by hotels and event venues that outlines every aspect of an event, including food, beverage, room setup, and pricing.
Is service charge the same as gratuity?
No. Service charge is typically kept by the venue to cover operational costs, while gratuity is often distributed directly to staff.
How do I calculate cost per guest?
Divide the total banquet cost by the number of guests to find the per-person price you'll need to charge or budget for.
