Table management

Turn tables faster, fill every seat

Track every table, every time slot, every combination from one screen. Resos shows guests only the tables you mark as available, combines two-tops into a four-top when the floor demands it, and lets you rank your best seats so they get booked first. The room runs tighter, the team has less to remember, and no booking slips through because two services disagreed on what was free.

How it works

A floor plan that thinks ahead

Floor plan with available tables highlighted and time intervals visible
Live availability

Guests only see real openings

Every online booking pulls from the tables you have actually marked as available right now. Block a section for a private party, close the terrace in the rain, or shorten an interval, and the booking page updates the same minute. Nothing oversold, nothing double-booked.

Smart combinations

Combine two-tops into a four-top automatically

Mark which tables can be joined and Resos handles the rest. When a party of four asks for 8pm and the four-top is taken, the system pairs two two-tops you have flagged as combinable. Walk-in covers stop being lost because the math did not work on paper.

Table priority

Book your best seats first

Give the window seat priority 10 and the back corner priority 3. Resos fills the high-priority tables before it touches the rest, so guests get the experience you want them remembering. The quieter corners only come into play once the room is full.

Set turn times that match the menu

Set a 90-minute interval for lunch and two hours for the tasting menu, and Resos reopens the table the moment the booking ends. Finish a guest early and the slot is back on the booking page. More covers per service, without anyone hovering over plates.

Why use a table management system?

With Resos you get a restaurant reservation system for table management so you can easily keep track of your tables, available times, and areas in the restaurant. Prioritize which tables to book first and what times are available so guests get the most out of their visit.

Turn tables faster and get more guests

When you use Resos’ table management system, you track which tables are available. When a guest wants to book a table, the guest only sees available times for the tables you have registered as available.

With table management, you can manage the amount of time your tables are available. Also, you can manage how long the table is booked so that more guests can book a spot in your restaurant. If a guest finishes ahead of time, you simply complete the booking so that the table is available again and new guests can book.

Manage and combine your available tables

We have developed a restaurant system for table management that is simple and easy to access. You can register all your tables in the system and make the tables combinable with each other. If you no longer have an available four-spot table and a guest is booking for four people. The system combines two two-spot tables that you have already registered as combinable. This way no bookings will be lost and you will always have control over which tables are available and which tables are booked.

Let guests book your best tables first

With table management, you can give each table a priority. Tables with priority 10 will be booked before tables with a priority of 1-9. That way, your best tables will be booked first. This will give guests the best experience. Do you have the most beautiful view of the water? Or is there the least noise at the back of the restaurant? Make sure that these tables have top priority.
