Reservations Setup Wizard: Part 2. Blocks and Table Assignments

Description: Review how to set up blocks and table assignments in the Reservations Setup Wizard below.

---

Step 1. Setting Up Blocks

First, set up your blocks. Each block must be set up individually. On the screen below, click on the day you want to set up a reservation block.

Please note: The dinner block for every day has been turned on by default. If you are not open or do not want to take reservations during dinner on a certain day, select the day and turn the dinner block off manually.

Step 2. Activating Blocks

To activate the blocks during which you would like to take reservations, turn the block on (1).

• To deactivate a block, turn it off.
• For each block you turn on, you must specify the hours during which you want to take reservations (2).
• Repeat for every block you turn on for that day.

Step 3. Assigning Tables for Blocks

The last step is to determine how many tables you want to set aside for every block you have turned on.

In order to assign the number of tables you want to set aside for reservations in an individual block, click on the “up” or “down” arrows located on the right.

• Repeat this for every Table Size in that block.
• Repeat this entire step for every block you have turned on.

Step 4. Saving your Reservation Blocks and Table Assignments

When you are finished accurately updating your reservation blocks and table assignments for every day, you may save your work and move to the next section of the Setup Wizard.

• To save your work and move to the next section in the Setup Wizard, click Next (1).
• You may return to this section anytime during the setup wizard. To return, click Reservation Blocks and Table Assignments. (2)

Step 5. Timezone

Click the Time Zone dropdown to select the appropriate time zone.

Step 6. Intervals

The interval feature allows you to choose how often you want to accept reservations in a given hour.

• You can choose to accept reservations every 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
• Helpful tip: Consider your average traffic and table turnaround times when choosing how often you want to accept reservations.

Click the Interval drop-down and select the appropriate interval option.

Once finished with this step, proceed to Reservations Setup Wizard: Part 3. Table Turnaround.
