Walk-Ins
Tables that are opened in WaiterMate will not create a walk-in reservation in Now Book It .
This means that tables can still be used normally, for example; for staff meals, regular guests or guests who are waiting at the bar for a later reservation. Now Book It will not receive information about these tables, so it would be possible to have a genuine reservation allocated to a table that is occupied.
Deposits
If a customer pays a deposit on the Now Book It platform or Widget, then the deposit will be applied to the account in WaiterMate once the reservation is seated. This payment will automatically use the 'Now Book It' payment type (as shown below). These payments will also be visible in the 'Takings This Terminal Report' so that they can be reconciled.
Transferring Tables
If a customer moves to a new table in the venue, transferring the table should be completed in Now Book It.
In Now Book It, drag the reservation to the desired table, then confirm the update by selecting 'Move'. This will update WaiterMate and complete a table transfer including printing a transfer docket for any items ordered if this is enabled.
Auto Join Tables
It is possible for one booking to be made in Now Book It that requires multiple tables to be joined together. When the reservation is arrived, all allocated tables will be joined automatically.
