Reservations

A restaurant table reservations system on the same screen as your orders

GetDinerPOS has bookings built in. Staff record a booking with the customer, party, location, table, time and server; it shows on the bookings calendar for that location. When the party arrives, the table is ready and the order starts from the same system. Customers get a booking confirmation if you choose.

Do diners need reservations?

Not for the Tuesday counter crowd. But Sunday brunch, birthdays, after-church families and large parties need a booking, and a notebook by the phone doesn't tell the other branch you're full.

Bookings in the POS sit next to the tables, so the host sees who is coming and which booth is held.

For groups, every location keeps its own book, and you can see all of them from the owner login.

What reservations does not do

Knowing the edges helps you plan. If one of these matters to you, ask on your demo.

  • Guests book through your staff, or through the online booking calendar that comes with the bundle's CRM snapshot; there is no booking marketplace listing.
  • Deposits for bookings are taken through your payment processor, not by the booking screen itself.
