Multiple catering choices when reserving a room

Hi,

 

Has anyone implemented catering as a service in WSD but needed to allow the user booking the room/catering the ability to choose from a menu at time of booking?

 

For example when booking a room, add extra services>catering:
Choose subcategory: Finger Food

Choose Item: Finger Food (2 per person)

At this point it would be great to display the choices the user can choose from to confirm. 

 

Has anyone done anything like this?

Hi @Larissa5 

 

OOTB there is no option to add when a service item should be fulfilled. However, I found this 'deliveryTime' field that is the same as Start date, and probably with some customisation, you can set it up.

If you found another way on this, can you also share it with us?

 

Thanks,

Florin

Hi Florin.  This was descoped in the end and OOTB method was maintained.  But essentially what we wanted was a further set of choices where you could choose the items to include on the buffet to generate a more accurate cost. 

 

For example:

Choose subcategory: Finger Food

Choose Item: Finger Food (2 per person)

     (requirement)...be presented with a list of further options to multi-select choices e.g.

  • Finger sandwiches
  • Vegetarian pastries
  • Miniature dessert selection

The cost could then be calculated based on those choices. 

Thank you for your help though but if you have any other thoughts please feel free to share.

Hi Larissa, 

Not sure if this is still an issue, but we are using catering as an extra service with reservations.  We set it up as follows:

ADD EXTRA SERVICES 

Workplace Service

Catering 

Category:

Snacks

Subcategory:

Chips 

Trail Mix

Granola Bars

Fruit Bowl

 

I agree it would be nice to be able to multi-select choices but currently our users have to choice one item then use the "Select another catering item" to add additional items.  

 

Thanks!

Tiffany

Hi @Tiffany Aldridg 

Thank you for this.  It's no longer an issue and I think to get around it would have involved some customisation, which we were trying to avoid. Since you also think it's a good idea I think we should add it to the ideas portal. 

Thanks again for your input!
