See every booking laid out against the tables and times you have available, and manage them without leaving the screen.

Steps

  1. Go to Bookings - the Timeline is the default view, showing your tables down the left and time across the top.

  2. Use the room tabs (such as All Rooms, Dining, Blue Room) to filter which tables are shown, and the date picker to move between days.

  3. Each booking is colour-coded by booking type, shown in the legend at the top right (for example Dinner, Lunch, Sunday Roast).

  4. To move a booking to a different table, drag it from its current row and drop it onto the new table's row.

  5. Click on a booking to open its details on the right: guest name, party size and current status (such as Overdue, with how many minutes over).

  6. From the details panel you can Seat guest, Request pre-order, Extend +15m to give the table more time, Move table, or Mark blocked to take the table out of service.

  7. Tap the pencil icon at the top of the details panel to edit the booking itself - its date, time and party size.

Tips

Extend +15m is useful when a table is running over but the guests haven't finished - it buys them a bit longer without you having to edit the whole booking.

Mark blocked takes a table out of service for new bookings - handy for a table that's broken, being cleaned, or reserved for staff use. Use the same button again to unblock it.

The banner at the top reminds you that you can drag a booking straight onto another table, and that a booking's time is edited from Booking Details rather than by dragging.
