Keeping track of your table reservations on an old-school booking sheet can be a daunting task, often prone to errors. Plus, taking bookings over the phone adds additional strain on your already busy staff. With an online table booking system, you can lift off some of the burdens whilst also increasing your operational efficiency, as well as customer satisfaction.
However, there’s a wide range of booking systems on the market, choosing between them can be a challenge.
So, how do you make sure a table booking system does what you expect and need?
Here are 11 key features (and some optional ones) to look out for that will help you pick the right one.
Calculate your average dining time per table to determine the right booking slot size.
Add some extra time to your slots to leave enough space in between each booking. This allows you to clear the table and get ready for the next customer.
Make sure to block larger online bookings (for events, parties, etc.) by setting a max. party size, i.e. < 10 pax. And be sure to offer an alternative contact method for those that don’t fit the regular options.
Leave some tables free during peak times to allow for walk-ins and take them off your online bookings.
