Which of the following will NOT be found on a BEO?
- Date of the function
- Location of the function
- Number of people to set for
- Name of the keynote speaker

Correct Answer

A. Name of the keynote speaker

Explanation

A BEO (Banquet Event Order) is a document that outlines all the details and requirements for a specific event or function. It includes information such as the date, location, number of people attending, and food and beverage requirements. However, the name of the keynote speaker is not typically included in a BEO. This is because the BEO focuses more on logistical and operational details of the event, rather than specific individuals who will be speaking or presenting at the function.

A convention that takes over an entire city is called:
- A buy-out
- A city-wide
- A clean-sweep
Correct Answer

A. A city-wide

Explanation

The term "city-wide" refers to something that encompasses or affects the entire city. In the context of the question, a convention that takes over an entire city would indeed be referred to as "city-wide" as it involves the participation and impact of the entire city. The term "buy-out" does not accurately describe the situation as it implies purchasing or acquiring something. Similarly, "clean-sweep" does not fit as it typically refers to a thorough cleaning or a complete victory in a competition.

The two main purposes of Registration include (check two options below):
- Convey information about your event to your attendees
- Lay out and book your meeting space with the hotel
- Help get ideas to create your event identity and objectives
- Get specific information from your attendees to help book the meeting or event
Correct Answer(s)

A. Convey information about your event to your attendees
A. Get specific information from your attendees to help book the meeting or event

Explanation

Registration serves two main purposes: conveying information about the event to attendees and obtaining specific information from attendees to assist in booking the meeting or event. By registering, attendees are informed about the event details, such as schedule, location, and any updates or changes. Additionally, registration allows organizers to gather important information from attendees, such as dietary restrictions or accommodation preferences, which can be used to book the appropriate meeting space or event facilities.

A. Free food fair that is open to the public

Explanation

The group of people who do not need to register for an event is the one attending the "Free food fair that is open to the public".

This is different from the Trade Show and Corporate Internal Meeting, which may require registration for attendance.

Correct Answer

A. What space the hotel has available for your meetings

Explanation

The question asks for a type of report that cannot be generated from registration software. The correct answer is "What space the hotel has available for your meetings." This answer is correct because registration software is typically used to manage attendee information, such as arrival and departure details, dietary requirements, and badge names. However, it does not typically provide information about available meeting spaces at a hotel.

BEOs, which stands for Banquet Event Orders, are detailed documents that outline the specific requirements and instructions for a banquet or event.

- True

Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The statement suggests that if there is no one available to work at the desk, the planner can do it themselves. However, the statement also mentions that it is a great place to sit and get caught up on your work. This implies that the planner may be tempted to use the desk for their own work rather than attending to other tasks. Therefore, the correct answer is false, as it is not a suitable solution for the planner to work at the desk themselves.

One of the most difficult things to fix about a venue is:

It is also more challenging to address service issues as they involve the behavior and attitude of the staff, which may require training or hiring new employees.

- What is on your entertainment's rider
- How much time you have to set up and what the curfew is
- What else is going on in or around your venue the same date as your event
Correct Answer

A. What is on your entertainment's rider

Explanation

The question asks for something that is NOT a consideration when choosing a venue. The correct answer, "What is on your entertainment's rider," is a consideration that is not necessary when choosing a venue. The entertainment's rider typically includes specific requirements and requests for the performers, such as technical specifications, dressing room requirements, and hospitality needs. While it is important to consider the entertainment's rider when planning the event, it is not directly related to the selection of the venue itself.

- Determining the potential dates of your event, sending out RFPs, going on site inspections, and contracting the space
- Sending out RFPs, determining the dates, contracting the space, and doing a site inspection
Correct Answer

A. Determining the potential dates of your event, sending out RFPs, going on site inspections, and contracting the space

Explanation

The most common order of steps in choosing a venue is to first determine the potential dates of the event. This is important in order to ensure that the venue is available on the desired dates. The next step is to send out RFPs (Request for Proposals) to potential venues, allowing them to provide information and pricing for consideration. After receiving the proposals, the next step is to go on site inspections to physically assess the venues and determine if they meet the requirements. Finally, once a suitable venue is identified, the last step is to contract the space, securing it for the event.

If you have 200 people staying in a hotel for four nights each, and 100 people staying an additional night, how many rooms nights will you have?

Correct Answer
900

Explanation
If there are 200 people staying in a hotel for four nights each, that would be a total of 200 * 4 = 800 room nights. Additionally, if 100 people are staying an additional night, that would be 100 * 1 = 100 room nights. Therefore, the total number of room nights would be 800 + 100 = 900.

If you sign a hotel guest room contract for 350 people to stay for four nights each but on the final night you actually use 1300 rooms, what's your attrition?
- 350 rooms
- 350 room nights
- 100 room nights
Correct Answer

A. 100 room nights

Explanation

Attrition refers to the difference between the number of rooms contracted and the number of rooms actually used. In this case, the contract was for 350 people to stay for four nights each, which would result in a total of 350 room nights (350 rooms x 4 nights). However, on the final night, 1300 rooms were actually used. Therefore, the attrition is calculated by subtracting the actual number of room nights used (1300) from the contracted number of room nights (350), resulting in an attrition of 100 room nights.

If you sign a contract for 1400 room nights by your ___________ but actually use 1375 room nights, then your __________ is __________ room nights.
- Cut-off date, attrition, 25
- Contract, overage, 25
- Attorney, contract, 1375
Correct Answer

A. Cut-off date, attrition, 25

Explanation

When signing a contract for 1400 room nights by a cut-off date, there is an agreement in place. However, if only 1375 room nights are actually used, then the attrition comes into play. Attrition refers to the difference between the contracted number of room nights and the actual number used. In this case, the attrition is 25 room nights, indicating that 25 fewer room nights were used than initially agreed upon. Therefore, the correct answer is "cut-off date, attrition, 25."

Correct Answer

A. No-show, reinstate

Explanation

If you have a reservation for the first night in a hotel but expect that person to still arrive the next day, then you need to reinstate that person with the front desk of the hotel. This means that even though the person did not show up for the first night, their reservation is still valid and they will be able to check in the next day.

- Cut-off date, attrition
- Pick-up report, attrition
- Cut-off report, incidentals
Correct Answer

A. Pick-up report, attrition

Explanation

A pick-up report is a document that tracks the number of guest rooms used each night at a hotel. It provides information on the occupancy rate and helps in forecasting future demand. The term "attrition" in this context refers to the number of reserved rooms that go unoccupied or unused. Therefore, asking for a pick-up report that shows if there is any attrition helps the hotel management to evaluate the effectiveness of their room reservations and identify any potential revenue loss.
