Questions about switching
How do we bring our guest data over from SevenRooms?
Export your clients from SevenRooms as a spreadsheet and bring it into the switch tool's spreadsheet import. They come in as clients, ready for their allergies and preferences. Calisto has no direct SevenRooms connector.
Does Dine run the till and the kitchen too?
Yes. The Register holds the folios by table, the kitchen display fires each ticket to its prep station, and stock, recipes and food cost sit in the same app.
How do private dining and events work?
Experiences, Private dining keeps each room's F&B minimum. A wedding or a buyout runs in Dine's Events section, from the inquiry and the quote to the function sheet.
