Events management

As it is called, this feature allows users to create their own events for special occasions, which is great to make the places became more appealing.

Users can make different events for different places. For example, if a user has two active places in the site, he then can create a “20% discount” event for his restaurant on weekends while creating another “Free buffet” event for his hotel.

Besides, this is not just about “discount”, it can also be considered as a notification to remind the customers about your places.

    There’s something wrong with the “Share Bar” in the Demo: when you scroll down, the bar doesn’t stops before the footer. Just access any profile and scroll ’til bottom and you’ll see.
