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.
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.
Avant de commencer
- The Reservations plugin enabled
- A list of the resources you allocate (number of tables, pitches, room types)
Étapes
Les écrans sont illustratifs ; les données de votre panneau différeront.
Étape 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.

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.
Étape 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.
Hours & closures
Day Service Hours Tue–Thu Dinner 18:00 – 23:00 Fri–Sat Dinner 18:00 – 00:30 Sunday Lunch + dinner 12:00 – 23:00 Monday Closed — 29 October — closure defined, no reservations that day.

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.
Étape 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.
Étape 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.

Conseils
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.
Questions fréquentes
- 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.
