Since we started using Resos, we have found the flexibility of the product and customer support incredible. It's very user friendly and easy to manage in-house which is a huge plus!
Shape every service, spread the demand
Lunch, dinner, brunch, the gap when the kitchen resets – each gets its own settings, its own seat caps, its own booking interval. Resos lets you build separate seatings inside one day, so guests never crowd the 8pm slot, the kitchen never blows up at the same minute, and the slow half-hour either side starts pulling its weight. One day, several services, one flow that holds.
Seatings that match how you actually cook
Lunch, dinner, a break in between
Run lunch from noon to three, close the booking page while the team resets, and reopen for dinner at six. Guests see what is bookable, the kitchen gets the breathing room it needs, and you stop fielding requests for tables at 4.30pm.
Push covers off the 8pm rush
Cap how many tables can book the busiest slot and release the rest at 7.30pm and 8.30pm. Guests still get the night they want, the kitchen stops sending forty plates at once, and the half-hour either side of peak finally fills up.
90 minutes at lunch, two hours at dinner
Set the table time that matches how guests actually eat each service. Lunch turns at 90 minutes, dinner holds for two, the tasting menu blocks the seat for three. Each seating runs on its own clock, so no service borrows time from another.
Save room for the door
Cap online bookings at ten tables during lunch if you know the rest of the room fills with walk-ins. Resos blocks new online reservations the second the cap is hit, and your team keeps the seats your locals expect to walk in and find.

Seatings connect your restaurant opening hours, booking limits, and service rules. Set up lunch, dinner, brunch, or a tasting menu separately, then control exactly when guests can book and how much online demand each service accepts.
Keep regular hours and one-off changes accurate
Set default opening hours for your normal week and add more than one opening hour on the same day when lunch and dinner need separate rules. Special opening hours override the normal schedule for a specific date, so you can extend a holiday service, run a private event, or mark a closed period without rebuilding the rest of the week.
Guests only see times that are available for online booking. Your internal opening hours can include preparation time before service or a break between seatings. Follow the guide to default and special opening hours for the current settings and video walkthrough.
Control bookings, guests, and online capacity
Set a maximum number of bookings, guests, or both for an entire opening hour or for each time interval inside it. A dinner service can accept 80 online guests in total, while the busiest half-hour has its own lower limit to protect the kitchen from one large arrival wave.
Limits apply to online availability, so you can deliberately keep part of the room available for walk-ins and phone bookings. When the selected cap is reached, Resos stops offering that opening hour or interval online. See how to set booking and guest limits.
Match duration and the last bookable time to each service
Each seating can use its own booking interval and duration. Lunch might run in 30-minute intervals with a 90-minute table time, while dinner uses a longer duration. Resos uses the opening hour and duration rules to show the last bookable time that still fits inside the service.
Set up custom seatings and review duration rules by party size before opening the schedule to guests.

Adjust availability when service changes
If walk-ins fill the room or the kitchen needs breathing space, close online bookings for the rest of the day or for a specific interval. Reopen them when capacity returns. This gives the team a quick operational control without changing the recurring opening hours. Learn how to close and reopen online bookings.
Pair seatings with the visual restaurant table plan when availability should also follow specific tables and areas.
