MembersFirst Holiday Help Center

Whether you offer take-home orders every holiday season or plan to for the first time this year, your MembersFirst website can help you take the entire ordering process online. There are options anywhere from a simple request form, to a more robust option with automated price calculations.

Due to increased demand, limited staff, or a combination of these, you may be looking to limit orders per pick-up day/time. To do so, first create your take-home form, then use MembersFirst Enhanced Registrations to create an event (or daily events) with time slots. Link to your form from the event's post-registration "Thank You" page, as well as the email confirmation. Finally, direct members to access online orders by registering through the website calendar.

Configure events with time slots, member-only registrations, waitlists, and even a registrant "lottery" to keep things fair when seating is limited.

You can also send automated emails a specified number of days (1 week, 2 days, 1 day, etc.) before your event and dining reservations. These reminders can include special instructions, and any other information members and guests should know. If this information changes over time, you can easily update the message. In addition, if your Club has the MembersFirst Mobile App, you can include a Push Notification sent at the same time as your emailed reminder.

As the seasons change, your dining configuration may need to be updated. Whether you are closing your outdoor dining venues, utilizing indoor "flex spaces" to accommodate additional tables, or adjusting your headcount allowance, you will want to make sure your Dining Reservations reflect the Club's current offerings.
