Adding blackout dates

Add dates when your venue is unavailable for reservations.

To prevent reservations during private events or on high-demand holidays, you can make booking unavailable by adding a blackout date. We recommend setting blackout dates at least 30 days in advance to reduce the likelihood of unintended reservations. 

NOTE: We ask that you do not add blackout dates on dates you anticipate high volume. Instead, we suggest setting aside a few seats from your inventory for Avvail reservations on these dates ahead of time. 

STEPS TO ADD A BLACKOUT DATE:

1. Navigate to the Settings tab at the bottom of your dashboard.
