Create a reservation for tonight

A guest calls to book for tonight. Here is how to record the reservation from the Reservations view.

Add the reservation

1. Open Reservations and check that the date shown is tonight’s.

2. In the top right, click + Add, then New reservation.

3. Fill in the form from top to bottom: party size, date and time first, then the guest’s contact details — every field is described in The reservation form.

4. Click Create. The reservation appears in the day view with the Confirmed status.

Creating a reservation silently

The form carries an option that turns off automatic notifications for this one reservation — see The reservation form.

What about a guest already on site?

A guest who arrives without a reservation is a walk-in guest. Use + Add → Walk-in instead: enter the Party size and validate. The guest is seated immediately, skipping the confirmation step. To seat them straight from the floor plan, see Seat a walk-in guest.
