Understanding the Service view
Learn how to find, review and manage your restaurant’s bookings from the main Service view.
The Service view is the main screen used to manage your restaurant’s bookings. It shows all bookings for the selected day and gives you quick access to the most frequently used booking controls.
Bookings for the selected day
The List groups bookings by arrival time. Each booking shows the number of guests, the guest’s name, the booking source and its current status.
Select a booking to open and manage its details.
Change the date or restaurant
Use the arrows, the Today button or the date selector to move to a different service day.
The heading shows the total number of bookings and covers for the selected date.
If your account manages more than one restaurant, use the restaurant selector at the top of the screen to change location.
Main booking controls
