Manage reservations

Learn how to handle POS and online reservations on the Eats365 POS.

This article discusses how to process reservations on the Eats365 POS, covering the steps to book a reservation, check existing reservations, cancel reservations, and attend to customers with reservations. 

If Online Reservation is enabled for your restaurant, you can manage online reservations just as you would reservations made on the POS.

Delete

Important: Make sure to enable Reservation from the Merchant Portal. Otherwise, you won’t be able to place reservations on the POS. To learn more about enabling Reservation, refer to Set up Reservation.

Book a reservation

Delete

Note: Once a customer makes a reservation online, the reservation should automatically appear on the POS.

To place a reservation on the Eats365 POS, follow the steps below: 

  1. Log in to the Eats365 POS. 
  2. At the top left, tap Dine-In to get to the Table Map screen. 
    Tip: You can set the Table Map screen as the default view from the General Preferences settings, so you won’t need to tap Dine-In every time you log in.
  3. At the top right, tap Reservation .
  4. Select the date when you want to place a reservation.
  5. Choose the Party Size.
    Note: Depending on how your Reservation settings are set up, the minimum and maximum Party Size range varies.

    Note: Depending on how your Reservation settings are set up, the available window for booking a reservation varies.

  9. Assign a table for the party. 
    Tip: If Assign Table is enabled, you may skip this step. When "Assign Table" is enabled, you are required to select a table after selecting Attend on the POS.
  10. If the customer has any special requests, you can add a note on the reservation. 
  11. Tap Make Reservation to confirm.

Manage a Reservation

Once a reservation has been successfully placed, you can check and manage the reservation from the Reservation screen.

Delete

Tip: To have an unread indicator of new reservation bookings on your POS, enable the “Manage Unread Bookings” setting under general Reservation settings. When this setting is enabled, the Reservation button on the Table Map screen will display the number of currently unread reservation bookings. A booking will only be removed from the unread count once a staff member opens the booking.

Delete

The cut-off time settings you’ve configured for the POS reservation function determine until when a reservation can be modified. For more information about cut-off time, refer to Set up Reservation.
