Answers to the most common questions about this template.
It brings all the day’s bookings into one document: time, customer name, phone number, number of covers, table assigned, confirmation status, deposit paid and important notes. You no longer depend on scattered messages or a diary that is hard to check during service.
A useful booking should include date, service, time, name, phone number, number of covers, table or area, booking channel, confirmation status, deposit amount if any, allergies or preferences and internal notes. The template has all these fields so front of house and the kitchen work from the same information.
You can mark bookings as awaiting confirmation, confirmed, cancelled or no-show. There are also columns for the last confirmation call or message and the deposit. With that history you can spot patterns and apply clearer policies on busy days.
Yes. It is designed to work by service (lunch, dinner, brunch, event) and by area (dining room, terrace, bar, private room). You can filter by sitting, sort by time and check expected occupancy before giving out new tables, reducing the risk of overbooking.
The template is a free starting point for businesses that still take bookings by hand. Software lets you automate confirmations, connect online channels, see availability in real time and link bookings to customers, the floor and reporting. The template helps you get the process in order while you decide whether you need to go fully digital.
