How to set up booking types, duration and cool down

Booking types are the kinds of bookings your venue takes, for example a standard table or private dining. Each booking type has its own rules, including duration and cool down.

Create a booking type

1. Go to Reservations → Settings → Set booking types.
2. Create a new booking type, or open an existing one.
3. Enter the name and the rules for the booking type.
4. Save.

Set the duration

The duration is how long a booking holds a table.

1. Open the booking type in Reservations → Settings → Set booking types.
2. Set the Duration, for example 1.5 hours.
3. Save.

A duration that is too short can allow bookings too close together. Check your durations from time to time.

Set a cool down

A cool down is a break between two bookings on the same table, for example time to clean and reset the table.

1. Open the booking type.
2. Set the Cool down.
3. Save.
