Reading the service floor
The book is one row per table and one column per fifteen minutes, so a glance tells you what is seated, what is coming, and where the gaps are.
This is the screen your staff live on. It opens on today, and the date controls at the top move you around.
The grid
One row per table, one column per fifteen minutes. A booking is a bar sitting across the time it occupies — start to finish, worked out from the turn time for that party size. Empty space is exactly what it looks like.
Blocked time shows as a ⛔ bar with your reason on it. Anything blocked cannot be booked over.
The header
The header carries the running count for the day — bookings and covers — which is the number worth glancing at before service rather than during it.
Beside it:
- A grid / list toggle.
- More ▾, holding Day sheet, Block a table and Seat a walk-in — the things you need a few times a night.
- + New reservation, for a booking taken over the phone.
When list view is better
The grid answers “what is happening in the room”. The list answers “who is coming next”, in time order, and is easier on a phone. Most hosts run the grid on the stand and the list in their pocket.
Opening a booking
Click any booking to open its drawer: the guest, the party, the table, any deposit, and the buttons for what can happen next. Escape closes it and puts you back where you were, so you can move down a busy service without reaching for the mouse.
