Release 1.36
Reservation timeline color coding
Add a color to a reservation to identify important information at a glance such as an allergy or VIP customer. Select a reservation in the Back Office timeline view to assign a color.
Printer names
Give printers a name so that they are easier to identify when sending receipts to them. In the App settings, select the printer and give it a name!
Printer jobs
It is now easier to control which receipts go to which printer. In the App settings, select the printer and assign the printer jobs to a printer.

Walk-ins in the timeline
Walk-ins are now shown in the reservation timeline in the Back Office. By integrating walk-ins alongside pre-booked reservations, you can make informed decisions about seating arrangements, staff allocation, and overall service efficiency, ensuring a smooth dining experience for guests.

Release 1.34
Confirm reservations with prepayments
Now you can send reservations with prepayments to guests when they enquire by email or call. This puts a hold on their table for a short period of time but won’t be fully confirmed until they complete a prepayment.
Lock in each guest, regardless of how they’ve booked. Sending through a prepayment with a deadline means your guests are committed to coming. This significantly reduces the chance of costly no-shows which can often come through email and phone calls.
Helpful for large groups. Set up special services with your group pricing already in place. When the guest pays for the reservation upfront, you cut down admin time spent checking for bank deposits and picking over payment details, giving more time to tailor the experience for your guests.
Inventory storage locations
Cut down time spent hunting for that bottle of wine you just know is hiding around in the cellar somewhere with Inventory storage locations. You can create places where inventory lives, from as broad as ‘warehouse’ to as detailed as ‘warehouse > row 13 > rack 6 > bin 15’, and have it tied in straight to your sales.
This not only cuts time spent searching but helps manage customer disappointments. Don’t sell that unique bottle of wine, only to have to go back sheepishly to the table to apologize that it actually isn’t available.
Plus you can keep track of your total inventory, understanding which products are where and moving them across to restock in time for service.
