Table Reservation Management

Use this section when your business takes table bookings and uses floor or timeline tools.

Recommended setup order

  1. Overview — you are here.
  2. Settings — configure booking windows, rules, and policies.
  3. Timeline — view and manage reservations in time slots.
  4. Summary — monitor reservation totals and status trends.
  5. Table Combinations — manage merged-table seating combinations.

Settings

Menu path: Settings (under Table Reservation Management)

Configure reservation rules: booking windows, party sizes, deposit settings, or integration options—fields depend on your tenant setup. Save changes before testing from the customer booking flow.

Timeline

Menu path: Timeline

Visual floor plan or timeline of tables: see occupied, reserved, and available slots. Often used by hosts to seat guests or adjust bookings during service.

Summary

Menu path: Summary

Overview of reservations for a date or range: counts, statuses, and exceptions. Good for shift handover and forecasting covers.

Table Combinations

Menu path: Table Combinations

Define joined tables (two small tables make one large party). Ensures the planner does not double-book seats that share a merged layout.

Menu path: Table Planner under Settings

Design or edit the physical layout of tables in the venue (positions, table numbers, shapes). The Timeline / floor view uses this layout.

Tips

  • After editing layout, verify Timeline shows tables in the right place before a busy service.
  • Train hosts on cancelling or moving bookings so the floor stays accurate.
