Bookings on the till
The board shows each table's next booking, holds a table as its guests are due, and lists who's arriving in the next hour.
Till Tables
- Tables · Bookings · Waitlist at the top switch between the board, the day's book and the waitlist.
- A table's tile shows its next booking ("8:30 · Lee · 2 · 72 min"). Close to the time a free table reads Held for 7:30; a bar fills as the guests at it run into the next booking.
- Arriving · next hour lists who's due, their allergies and occasions, and their table. Tap Seat at T2: their order opens with the party already set.
- Their table busy still? Seat… shows the tables free now and for how long.
- A strip at the top tells every till about a new booking, a cancellation close to the time or a guest running late. Show opens it.
Example
Priya arrives
"7:30 · Priya Nair · 4 · Confirmed · Nut allergy · Birthday · Held: T2 (4)". Tap Seat at T2: the order opens on T2 for 4, and the booking turns Seated on every till and in the back office.
