Guests prefer to book a table in advance over walking-in and waiting for the table. For example, a couple would prefer to book a table in advance or a group would like to book a party in advance for better arrangement. This results in a fair amount of paper-work and communication between the guest, reception, floor manager and kitchen planner.
You can easily manage the table booking and waitlist for the current shift or for a future date. While booking, a preferred table and wait staff can also be assigned with guest name, contact detail and other guest preferences. The reserved get displayed on the POS screen in the booked time frame. Each reservation is displayed in an easy-to-use scheduler and available at the POS screen.
