With
DIGITAL DINING's Reservations module, your hosts
no longer need to “look or the book” or scribble notes
on pieces of paper. DIGITAL DINING Reservations
helps you take reservations faster while eliminating
guesswork and reducing mistakes. Pending reservations
instantly appear on the host register’s wait list.
Thanks to
its complete integration with the POS program, hosts can
control tables and availability times without the hassle
of double entries or transferred information. Special
requests are no problem. Hosts can instantly check the
availability of special requests, like ”a table for four
near the fireplace.” And our extensive customizable
reports allow managers to plan ahead to meet the needs
of their customers.

Helpful Alternative
Suggestions
If a customer makes a
request that is unavailable, the POS will notify you
when you enter the reservation and automatically suggest
other options. This allows you to inform customers and
immediately offer alternatives that may suit them. |
|
Special Events
Digital Dining allows you to define special events
in the back office. When hosts create a reservation for
an event, they simply select the pre-defined event from
a list and the POS will automatically apply the event's
data to the new reservation. You can also include
special instructions with each new event, which the POS
automatically adds to each reservation. |
|
Reservation Reporting
Digital Dining's extensive definable reports allow
you to filter and sort reservation information any way
you need it. You can design reports that help you
prepare for large parties, special requests, or special
events. You can also use reports to analyze
cancellations, "no shows," and table information. |
|
Handles Special Requests
You can define special requests, such as “smoking
preference,” “special location,” or table types." When
hosts receive a special request, they can search for
applicable tables by simply selecting the predefined
request from a list. Also, you can attach miscellaneous
notes to a reservation to remind the host of any extra
information when the guests arrive. |
|
Completely Integrated
The Reservation
module works hand in hand with the Table Management
module, the Host Register, and the Wait List. This
allows the POS program to access a customer’s
information from other sources (such as frequent diner
records or house accounts) and apply it to a
reservation. When a customer is seated, the POS
automatically applies the customer's information to the
new check. The customer's information (name, frequent
diner number, or special request) follows the entire
transaction, from the reservation to the table to the
final payment.

You can associate
tables with customized properties, such as
"smoking preference," "specific location," or
"type of table." You can create any
characteristic you need and apply it to any

can quickly search for tables that have one or
more of these characteristics. |
