Approved packages & margin guard

Select a package to see its approved price, current margin and minimum. This fictional register uses package margin after assigned package costs, excluding VAT. It does not deduct displaced business or represent the whole venue’s operating margin.

Classic Wedding

Approved price / guest
R 1 295
Margin at approval

Current package margin

Minimum package margin

Review required. Assigned costs are R 18 more per guest than the approved allowance. Margin is 1.4 percentage points below the minimum. At unchanged costs, a price of at least R 1 320 per guest meets the minimum.

Illustrative cost review: 18 September 2026. Cost amounts here are inferred from the sample margins, not supplier invoices. In a real review, missing or outdated costs mean “Needs updated costs”, never a green pass.

Test a price or change the inclusions

Enter the proposed price and revised assigned cost per guest. Nothing changes in the approved register.

Special-date rules measure direct contribution separately. A strong package margin does not clear a space conflict. Repeat business may support a documented concession, but unconfirmed future revenue is not counted as earned benefit.
