BOOKING OPERATIONS

Make the booking diary easier to trust.

A useful diary is more than a list of names. It gives the team enough context to make good decisions before and during service.

Keep the essentials visible

Guest count, contact details, booking time, notes and order-ahead information should be easy to find without opening several disconnected tools.

Table capacities and existing assignments help the team balance the room while keeping the guest experience in view.

Booking durations, opening hours, kitchen hours and service phases should reflect how each venue actually works.

A short pre-service review can surface large parties, unusual timings, order-ahead details and gaps in the diary before they become surprises.

Clear edits and notes help the next person understand what changed and why, particularly when several team members share responsibility.

The best booking experience is based on rules the venue can genuinely deliver, not availability that creates avoidable pressure on the floor.
