    How to set up the reservations (seat-based or table-based)?

    We show you where you can set up how the reservations should be managed. Either seat-based or table-based.

    In this tutorial, we will show you where you can set up how the reservations should be managed. Either seat-based or table-based.

    Step-by-step instructions

     

    1. To access Table/Seat Settings, navigate to Settings in the left-hand menu and select Tables/Seats.
    2. If using a seats-based setup, enter the number of available seats in the provided field. This setup manages reservations based on the total number of available seats.
    3. To use a table-based setup, toggle the switch to enable it. This setup automatically assigns reservations to tables.

    Switching from a seats-based to a table-based setup will automatically assign all existing reservations to tables.

     

     

    1. If using the table-based setup, click the edit icon next to the area you want to manage.
    2. Edit the area’s name, choose whether it is selectable by guests during booking, set it active or inactive, and add or delete areas as needed.
    3. To manage tables, click the edit icon next to the table you want to manage. You can edit existing tables, set them active or inactive, choose if they are reservable online, add new tables, or delete them.
    4. Click the pencil icon to manage table groups. You can define which tables can be combined and set the minimum and maximum number of guests for the table group.
    5. After completing your setup, click SAVE to apply the changes.
    6. If you switch back to a seats-based setup, all table assignments from existing reservations will be removed.
