    Full answer

    Hospitality software is designed to manage complex taxation scenarios, including different tax rates for outside catering versus on-site catering. In event management systems and venue CRMs, this often requires creating separate revenue categories to accurately apply the correct tax rates. For example, a booking with multiple events—one on-site and one off-site—may need distinct revenue categories to differentiate tax calculations. This approach ensures compliance with local tax regulations and precise financial reporting. Additionally, duplicating product lists assigned to each revenue category helps maintain clarity in billing and analytics. Thynk, as a hospitality software solution built on Salesforce, supports flexible revenue categorisation and tax management, enabling hotels and venues to handle diverse catering scenarios efficiently. Its integration with PMS, CRS, and revenue analytics tools further streamlines tax handling and financial oversight, making it a strong alternative to platforms like Amadeus Delphi or Event Temple.
