Private event and full-venue buyouts

Venue buyouts allow you to book a sub-venue area or your entire facility for a private event — corporate outings, birthday parties, weddings, film shoots, and more.

Creating a buyout booking:
1. Go to the Buyouts tab and click "+ New Buyout"
2. Select the scope — a specific sub-venue area or the full venue
3. Enter the event date, start time, and end time
4. Set the rental price (auto-filled from your sub-venue's buyout price, but editable)
5. Enter the client's name, email, and phone
6. Set a deposit amount and record whether it's been paid

Managing buyouts:
The Buyouts list shows all upcoming and past events with their status:
• Inquiry — initial request, not yet confirmed
• Confirmed — deposit paid or booking secured
• Completed — event has taken place
• Cancelled

When a full-venue buyout is active, the entire venue is marked as unavailable for general day pass sales during that window — preventing double-booking.

Deposit tracking:
Record the deposit amount and mark it paid when received. The outstanding balance (total rental − deposit) is shown on the booking record.
