The booking module allows you to create and manage all booking requests for your venue and control various aspects.
To access the module go to the main menu via the icon and select Reservations.
At the first access, the display for "Week" is presented, characterized by the presence of a series of boxes, each of which represents the hourly intervals of the lunch and evening service.
Each box shows the start and end times of the service, the number of tables and the percentage of availability, the number of seats and the relative status as a percentage.
The screen is divided into columns, which show the days of the month and the active week, and rows that represent the reference times. A red line highlights the current day and time.
The weekly interval displayed is indicated at the top left; it is possible to switch from one week to another using the appropriate commands. The TODAY button, on the other hand, will allow you to return to the current week.
