Total
Table
Management
Efficient table
management is so
crucial to the
success of any fine
dining operation
that every
Restaurant Manager™
TableService system
includes a basic
table management
screen. This
visually attractive
screen shows the
layout of every
table on the
premises and uses
color coding to
highlight the
current status of
each table: set and
ready for customers,
customers seated and
ready to order, food
and drinks served,
check presented,
check settled and
table ready for
clearing.
This basic table
management
capability can be
complemented with
Restaurant Manager’s
Reservations module,
to create a total
solution for
managing service,
waiting lists and
reservations. The
Reservations
module’s easy-to-use
design allows you to
quickly navigate
between booking
dates, change
reservation times,
guest counts, and
even seat bookings.
Tables can be
assigned to
particular sections
such as “smoking”
and “non-smoking”
and seating capacity
can be pre-defined.
The “Compute”
function is where
the real power of
the Reservations
module is unveiled.
When executed, the
compute function
displays a window
showing the time
each table is
expected to become
available and the
first customer on
the waiting list who
matches the seat
count and smoking
preference of the
table.
Managing
Reservations
When you install
the Restaurant
Manager Reservations
module you will
instantly and
dramatically reduce
errors in booking
reservations. You
will always have a
clear picture of
reservations versus
availability and the
system even notifies
you of discrepancies
between reservations
and capacity at the
time of seating.
Waiting
List
Management
Not only can you
more accurately
project wait times
for your customers –
you can better
organize your
overall seating
management and, in
fact, reduce queuing
time. For instance,
if a customer is
waiting for a
four-top in a
non-smoking section
with a twenty minute
wait, they may be
very happy to take a
four-top in the
smoking section that
is coming available
right away… just one
example of how the
Restaurant Manager
Reservations module
allows you to
improve customer
rapport, seat more
people, and of
course, increase
your sales.
