If you frequently host a certain kind of event at your facility, you can use the Package Configuration feature to define a standard set of resources from your setup, staffing, catering and beverages tables.

For example, if a company hosts many business meetings at their facility, they could create a special “Morning Meeting” package, which will always include rental of a projector and screen, coffee and doughnuts, and hire of a setup crewperson.  Weddings are also common events at many facilities.  A facility may want to set up several wedding packages containing standard catering, beverage and decoration options, rather than having to create a custom combination of resources for each customer.
