Every assignment
Recommendations inform the team; the team stays in control.
The host workspace
Move between a detailed queue, a time-based calendar, and the table board without fragmenting the service picture. Search, filters, density, and attention states keep the important work visible.
Search by guest, filter by status or source, and isolate the bookings that still need a table.
Read the day by time and density before a rush becomes a surprise.
Match party size, section, and availability against the physical room.
Guest context
Keep contact details, occasions, seating preferences, dietary and accessibility notes, reminder choice, source, and customer history close to the reservation.

Dietary note
One guest has a nut allergy. Confirm with the kitchen on arrival.
Explicit lifecycle
The team can see exactly where a reservation sits and move it deliberately—from confirmation and table assignment to check-in, service, and close.
01
Turn an enquiry into a committed booking.
02
Choose a table or review a suggested fit.
03
Mark the guest arrived and seat the party.
04
Carry table and dining-session context into POS.
05
Complete, cancel, expire, or record a no-show.
Due reservations and linked visits put useful arrival context beside POS—without pretending the host stand and the bill are the same job.
Availability and planning
Check the requested slot, compare nearby availability, and review table-aware assignment recommendations. Pins, policies, and host judgment still decide what happens on the floor.
Nearby slots
Offer a workable alternative instead of a dead end.
Section-aware fit
Respect table capacity, room, and explicit pins.
Walk-ins
Timed reservations and walk-in parties have different promises. Give staff a dedicated queue for estimated waits, return-by times, arrival, seating, cancellation, and no-shows while preserving one view of demand.

Control and accountability
Reservations stay useful when rules are explicit, signals are explainable, and operational changes leave a trail.
Rules
Turn times, overbooking controls, auto-release rules, table sections, and service windows stay explicit.
Signals
Deterministic risk context highlights arrival drift, no-show patterns, reminder priority, and service pressure.
Ledger
Track amount, status, method, processor reference, due date, and notes in a processor-agnostic ledger.
