Online reservation system setup

Define your zones and tables, draw the floor plan, enter opening hours and closures, and let customers reserve from your site.

2 min de lecturaÚltima actualización: 2026-08-30

The reservation system allocates a resource: a restaurant table, a five-a-side pitch, a hotel room, an event hall. That is what separates it from appointments — an appointment sells a person's time, a reservation sells a place. Setup starts with defining the resource.

Antes de empezar

  • The Reservations plugin enabled
  • A list of the resources you allocate (number of tables, pitches, room types)

Pasos

Las pantallas son ilustrativas; los datos de tu panel serán distintos.

  1. Paso 1: Define zones and tables

    On Rezervasyonlar → Bölgeler & Masalar, define zones first (Garden, Inside, Terrace), then the tables in each with their capacity. Get capacity right: it is the only thing stopping a party of six being seated at a four-top.

  2. Paso 2: Draw the floor plan

    On Kat Planı you place tables in their real layout. This is not only cosmetic: on a busy evening, seeing which table frees up when is far faster from a plan than from a list.

  3. Paso 3: Enter hours and closures

    On Saatler & Kapanışlar, define your weekly service hours and add closures for holidays, private events or maintenance. On a closure day the system accepts no reservations at all.

    29 October — closure defined, no reservations that day.

  4. Paso 4: Configure reservation settings

    On Ayarlar you set the reservation duration (how long a table is held), the earliest and latest booking window, whether approval is required, and whether a deposit is taken.

  5. Paso 5: Add the reservation section to your site

    Add the reservation section from the page editor. When a customer picks a date, time and party size, the system finds a suitable table; if none is free, that time is not shown.

  6. Paso 6: Run the dashboard and reviews

    Rezervasyonlar → Panel shows the day's occupancy. The Değerlendirmeler page collects the ratings and comments customers leave after their visit.

Consejos

Do not inflate capacity

Overstating table capacity to raise occupancy ends with a party you cannot seat. The system matches strictly on the capacity you enter.

Inactive is not deleted

Set tables under renovation or seasonally closed to inactive rather than deleting them; past reservation records stay intact.

Preguntas frecuentes

Can I take a deposit?
Yes. With a payment provider connected, a deposit can be charged at reservation time.
Can the customer choose their table?
It depends on your settings. The system can pick automatically, or let the customer choose a zone.
Can I use this for pitches or rooms?
Yes. Define pitches or rooms instead of tables; the logic is identical — resource, capacity and time window.
