How to use it
- Pick the date or service period if selectors appear at the top.
- Click a table or booking card to see actions the product allows (book, seat, cancel — wording on screen is final).
- Drag-and-drop may be available for moving bookings — release only when the highlight shows a valid table.
Status change in timeline
Use this flow when you need to update booking progress from the timeline view.
- Open the booking card on the timeline.
- Select Status (or the status action shown in the action menu).
- Choose the next status based on guest progress.
- Click Save / Update to apply the change.
Common status sequence (use the statuses shown in your UI):
- Request -> Accepted -> Arrived -> Seated -> Completed
- Cancelled and No-show are terminal statuses for dropped bookings
If a status option is not visible, check reservation permissions and current booking rules in Settings.
Permissions
Floor and timeline tools are for host or manager roles with reservation access.
