How to Create a Manual Booking in Reservit Restaurant (Reservation Entry)

Article summary: This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to manually enter a restaurant reservation directly through your Reservit interface. You will learn how to accurately configure booking details, record customer information, and seamlessly link dining charges to a hotel room. Mastering this manual reservation feature ensures a smooth, highly personalized customer experience for both phone inquiries and walk-in guests.

The 5 key steps to manually create a reservation:

  • Initiate the booking: From your home page, click on "New booking" and select the desired date, arrival time, and total number of guests.

  • Select the dining area: Choose the specific dining room and the appropriate service period for the reservation.

  • Enter guest details: Input the customer's contact information. If you operate a hotel, you can also search for their room to easily connect the billing account.

  • Customize and confirm: Specify any special characteristics (such as a quiet table or gluten-free requirements), opt to send a confirmation email to the customer, and validate the booking.

  • Assign a table: Locate the newly created reservation in your recent bookings list to immediately attribute the party to a specific table on your floor plan.
