Next Available Booking (NAB) Option

Explaining how to help customers find other booking times

Customers booking via the widget now have the ability to search for the next available date if the original date chosen has no timeslots in any service due to either blockouts or bookings exhausting table availability. Venues are able to enable/disable this feature from the Admin panel, and when enabled it will show the next date which is available for booking based on the pax entered.

Enabling Next Available Booking

  1. Go to Admin >Widget Settings

  2. Check the tickbox for ‘Enable next available booking?’

If the date chosen has no availability then the following will be presented to the customer with the next date in the venue which has availability for the number of pax in the booking. Customers can then use the arrows to navigate through each of the dates in the future which are available for bookings:
