Banquet Minimum & Private Room Yield

Equity Growth Partners

Every private booking closes seats you would have sold to walk-ins. The right minimum is not a round number; it is the walk-in contribution you give up plus the margin you want for the trouble. Price the room from that, day by day.

Event Request

Food and beverage the host is proposing per person.

The Room

How full those seats normally run on that day and daypart.

Economics

Server, bartender, and captain hours assigned to the event beyond the normal floor.

Charged to the host. Enter the share the house keeps after tip-outs in the next field.

How much better than the displaced walk-in business an event has to be to be worth the coordination.
