Real-time availability
Overview
Availability is computed live: open slots, current pace, and settings like turn time, maximum cover, and pacing rules all contribute. When slots are gone, they disappear from the booking flow immediately.
How it works
Every time a guest opens the booking flow, the backend computes available slots from the floor plan + booking settings. Slots update in real time as bookings come in or are cancelled.
Core concepts
Turn time
how long a table is held per booking.
Pacing
the max bookings per 15-minute window.
Cover cap
maximum covers for a slot.
Usage & workflows
Automatic front-of-house load balancing; reduces over-booking and no-shows.
Example
A busy Saturday closes out by 6pm; the booking flow automatically redirects late arrivals to the waitlist or the following day.
