Areas
Area management
Areas help you to subdivide your restaurant. By separating the areas, e.g. restaurant, beer garden and bar, you have a structured overview in the cash register and can also evaluate sales by area, for example. You can decide for yourself whether you want a complete overview of all areas or just a specific area.

Backgrounds for areas
A background image can be used to provide better orientation in the booking interface of the table plan. This allows your service staff to use features as a guide and find their way around the plan more quickly. A background image can be a floor plan or a graphic you have created yourself. (As a rule, the background is only intended for internal use and should serve as support during service)
Linking an area to a cost center
You have the option of linking an area to a cost center. This allows you to separate the areas in the cash register. A waiter can then, for example, open his shift in a cost center and only see the table plan selected for the cost center.
Switch area individually selectable (online widget)
If there are different areas in your business where reservations can be made, e.g. restaurant, beer garden (in summer) and an event room, you can enable the selection of the desired area via the widget during the online reservation process. This allows your guests to enter more precise details when making an online reservation and select the desired area themselves online.
Description of an area
To provide your guests with additional information about the respective areas, you can add further information in the description. The information in the Description column is provided both in the widget and in the emails sent by the system to confirm a reservation/booking.
The Description column is a hidden column and must be shown for editing: Show or hide hidden columns
Example of how to use the description
You can use the additional information to inform your guests: For example, for outdoor areas (e.g. beer garden or terrace), you can indicate that these areas are only available in sufficiently "good" weather, because there may be no rain protection and the area remains closed on such days. This information is visible in the widget when making a reservation/booking and also in the confirmation emails as a note for your guests.
