# Corporate Workshop Bookings: Quotes, Headcounts and Payments

A company asks for a workshop for 14 people, then changes the group to 18 and requests an invoice. Staff need to know which quote was accepted, whether the room is confirmed and how many sets of materials to prepare.

Keep those records connected as the booking moves from enquiry to delivery.

## What a corporate booking actually involves

1. **Inquiry.** Headcount, a date range, a budget, sometimes a purchase order number.
2. **Hold.** You block a date while the buyer gets approval.
3. **Quote.** Per-head price, room fee, add-ons like drinks or extra materials, tax.
4. **Deposit.** A card payment or a bank transfer against an invoice.
5. **Details.** Names, dietary needs, accessibility, arrival time.
6. **Final headcount.** Usually different from the quote.
7. **Balance.** Charged or invoiced before the event.
8. **Delivery.** Staff know what to prepare and for how many.

Check which steps the product covers and which remain with sales or accounting.

## What the software has to do

Hold a date without selling it. Make the agreed price and collection point explicit. Take a deposit by card and record the balance due. Collect participant details from the buyer or from each participant. Let the headcount change and recalculate. Show staff the final list.

## Carry the agreement into Gomry

Once the group and scope are agreed, an Event can hold the booking's ticket classes and capacity. Test approval-required tickets if you need a review step, while checking payment behaviour separately. Approval does not by itself establish a room hold, a revised quote or an automatic deposit conversion.

Keep the accepted total, deposit received and remaining balance under the booking reference. If a separate ticket class is used for a later payment, check how staff reconcile it and prevent a buyer from selecting the wrong payment. The [deposit guide](/blog/event-software-deposits-payment-plans/) provides the records needed.

Test how a group buyer supplies participant information and how staff receive subsequent changes. Keep invoicing and purchase-order requirements in the accounting workflow that supports them.

The final staff brief should identify the confirmed date, headcount and agreed additions. Use the [private-booking checklist](/blog/private-event-booking-software-studios/) to verify the handoff.

## Questions operators ask

**Should corporate events be instantly bookable?**
Only if your price per head and your room fee are fixed. If you negotiate, keep approval on.

**What makes a quote clean?**
One line per item, the headcount it was priced on, the deposit, the balance due date, and what happens if the number changes. Put it in the approval message so the buyer accepts it before the deposit is taken.

**Can the buyer fill in details for the whole group?**
Test form delivery with a group buyer. Decide which answers the organiser can supply and which participants need to provide.

Take one current enquiry through the quote and final-headcount stages. Have delivery staff prepare from the confirmed record, then reconcile the payments with the person handling invoices.
