Open the Dining Rooms and Tables settings and click "Edit" (note that the floor plan feature will be available soon).  Add multiple dining rooms and tables, assigning tables to each area based on their size (number of people). Specify whether each dining area or table can be booked online. Don’t forget to save your changes. For further guidance, refer to our help page.

The system automatically adjusts reservation durations based on the group size, with larger groups receiving longer durations and smaller groups or lunchtime reservations having shorter durations.
The default booking length will be used as the primary setting.
For minimum turnover for phone reservations, we recommend selecting the shortest available value, such as 15 or 30 minutes, to allow flexibility for short reservations or quick blocks.
The minimum turnover for online reservations can match the default or be set separately; if the default time is unavailable, the widget can suggest shorter durations with a warning. Learn more about durations on our help page.

At the top of the Opening Hours page, select whether bookings should be available every 15 or 30 minutes. For example, you can choose time slots like 18:00, 18:15, 18:45, 19:00 for 15-minute intervals or 18:00, 18:30, 19:00 for 30-minute intervals.

Set up your weekly opening hours by marking your available times. If you're closed for dinner or want to block bookings for specific areas or times, simply click to mark those slots in red. For step-by-step instructions, watch the video tutorial.

These settings let you choose whether to use auto-arrival status or manually update reservations only after the guest arrives. You can also enable a statistics banner displaying the total number of guests and reservations, and decide whether to view the full day (from opening to closing) with all reservations or use a scroll view for larger cards. For detailed information with images and explanations, please follow this guidance.

The floor plan allows you to view your restaurant's layout and see booked tables for a specific time. You can also add reservations directly by selecting tables on the plan. Please note that the floor plan is currently being updated, and a new version will be introduced soon.

In widget settings, choose automatic reservation confirmation (recommended) or manual approval. Set the maximum number of guests allowed to book online and other limits, such as how many days in advance or minutes before the reservation time bookings are accepted. You can also set limits per time slot or day for online bookings; these limits don’t apply to phone reservations. Learn more about widget settings here.

The Widget Fields feature allows you to enable or disable specific fields to gather important information about your guests and their preferences.
