The gist
Reservations gives your venue a public booking page and a single place to manage every request. Guests book online, you confirm with one tap, and confirmation emails send automatically.
Open Reservations
2 steps · where everything in this guide happens
- In the left sidebar, open the Venue section.
- Click Reservations.
On desktop the sidebar is a slim rail on the left — hover over it to expand the labels. On mobile, tap the menu button in the top-left corner first.
You'll land on today's view. Use Today, and the Previous week / Next week arrows in the date navigator, to move between days.
Set up your floor (first time)
4 steps · once per venue
Before you can seat guests at specific tables, set up your floor plan once.
- On the Reservations page, click Set up your floor.
- Click Add section and name it (for example Indoor, Terrace, or Bar).
- Add tables to each section (for example Table 1).
- Repeat for every area of your venue, then close the drawer.

- Confirmed — accepted; the guest has been emailed.
- Seated — the guest has arrived and been given a table.
- Completed — service finished.
- Cancelled — the booking was called off.
- No-show — the guest didn't arrive.
