Going live

What Go live does

It makes your booking page public. Before you press it the address exists but shows nothing to a guest — the page reports that it cannot be found. After, the same address shows your venue and takes bookings.

Only an owner can press it. A manager or host working through setup will see the checklist but not the button; the last step is the owner's.

What has to be done first

The checklist counts the required steps and links to each one. Four things must be true:

• Your email is verified — the link we sent when you signed up.
• Your venue profile has a name and address.
• At least one active table exists, because availability is computed from your tables and nothing else.
• At least one shift on at least one day.

Turn times come with a sensible default already in place, so that step arrives ticked. Brand your booking page and Embed on your website are marked Optional and genuinely do not hold you up.

Before you press it

Two minutes that save an awkward first week:

• Look at the page as a guest would. The direct link is on the branding tab. Check the name, the address and the first time offered look like your venue.
• Try a booking for this week. If the times offered surprise you, that is your turn times or your shifts talking, and it is much easier to fix now than to explain to a guest later.

Going live does not send anything to anyone. No announcement, no email to past guests — it simply opens the page.
