Create and edit a booking type

Create it

1. Go to Bookings › Booking Types, then choose your venue.
2. Click New booking type.
3. Click Copy from defaults (copies hours, durations, party sizes, charges and cover limits from Main Settings).
4. In Basics, add the Name guests see, a Description, images and the venue's Brand kit.
5. Under Party sizes, set the smallest and largest booking.
6. Under Timing, set how long a booking lasts. Custom time-slot intervals spaces slots differently from the venue.
7. In Bookable Times, switch on only the days it runs and set the times. The plus button adds a second slot.

Check it worked

Click Web link on the type in the list and open the link to see what guests see.

Which times guests and your team see

• Guests see the times set in Bookable Times for the booking type they choose.
• When your team adds a booking by hand, they pick the time first and the Booking Type that runs then is picked for them. The list shows the types that run that day.

Track drinks-only guests

1. Create a booking type, such as Drinks, and turn on Custom table selection for the tables you use for drinks.
2. Turn off Affects daily covers so drinks bookings do not use up your dining cover limits.
3. Check Active is on, then click Save.

Reporting's By booking type then shows drinks covers apart from dining.

Good to know

• To cap this type's covers each day, save it, open it again and use Daily cover limits at the bottom.
• Party sizes set here override your Main Settings.
• Send the web link to guests to take them straight to this booking type.
• Missing party size online? See party size not showing.
• Only Admin, Moderator, General Manager and Reports can open Booking Types. Bookings Manager, FOH, Marketing and IT cannot see it.
