As a restaurant group, one of the largest challenges Park South Hospitality faces is scheduling events across multiple venues. Amedia Creative is excited to announce the completion of the Park South Event Manager, to aid in the creation an organization of events for the company.

Equipped with a multitude of features, this application will provide Park South with all the tools they need to effectively and easily keep track of their events. Each venue will allow events to be displayed in one of two ways: by list or by calendar. Users are only allowed access to the events posted in their assigned venue(s) whereas administrators can view, schedule, and edit events across all venues. Events are further separated into two categories: Leads and Contracts (or Approved Events). Contracts are events that have been finalized whereas Leads are working events that have not yet been approved. For each event, users may enter a title, a date from an interactive calendar, the number of people, the venue, details – even attach a contract. Additionally, there are a number of options for menu items such as food, drinks, and desserts. To avoid costly errors where data is overwritten and information is lost Amedia has implemented versioning for the leads, allowing a new version of the event to be created each time a change is made. Previous drafts are saved, should they need to be referenced later on. To improve communication within the manager, users are given the opportunity to post comments for each event which includes the date of the post and the username of the person posting it. After an event is approved, users also have access to automatically generated PDFs of the contract, a version for internal use and a version specifically for the client.

With the implementation of this new Event Manager, Park South Hospitality will be able to monitor all their events in one arena, increasing productivity and awareness within the company.
