Blocking Outlet Buyouts (or, Privatizing Events)

Sometimes, you may have a customer who wants to hold a big lunch or dinner in a function space that’s usually shareable with other events, for example, the restaurant.  Or perhaps they want to take over the entire roof deck restaurant and pool area for an evening drinks reception. 


In Thynk, we call this ‘privatizing’ an event because you are specifying to your operational teams, and confirming to your client that the specific space has been made 'private'.

Best Practices for Blocking Outlet Buyouts

  • If your hotel tends to use outlet buyouts/or exclusive use, it’s important to denote this on the booking event for operational and for reporting purposes.

  • If your system has not been configured to show you the ‘privatize event’ checkbox, please contact your Thynk Admin. They will be able to add it to the relevant page layout, and they can also contact Thynk Support.
