# Reservations

**Scenario:** in the mid-afternoon lull, you want to confirm tonight's
bookings and add the party of four you just promised a regular over the phone.
Both live in **Reservations**.

## Finding a booking

- **Date** — defaults to today; arrows page through days, **Today** jumps back.
- **Status filter** — show only pending, confirmed, seated…
- **Search** — type a name, phone number, or reference to find someone across
  all dates.

## How statuses flow

Every booking moves through these statuses, matching the badge colors in the
list:

| Status | Meaning | Next step |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pending | A new booking at a review-first restaurant | Press **Confirm** (the guest is notified) |
| Confirmed | The booking stands | Press **Seat** when the guest arrives |
| Seated | Mid-meal | Press **Complete** when finished |
| Completed | Meal finished | The guest's visit count accrues automatically |
| No-show | Never arrived, never cancelled | Recorded on the guest's no-show history |
| Cancelled | Cancelled by guest or restaurant | — |

Click any booking to open its details: date and time, reference, phone
(tap to dial), visit and no-show counts, the guest's requests (children,
dietary needs, occasion), and **Internal notes** visible only to staff —
"window seat", "waited long last time, send a small dish" go here.

## Phone bookings and walk-in registration: New booking

**＋ New booking** at the top right: pick the date, time, and party size, fill
in name and phone, and set the source to "📞 Phone" or "Walk-in". The system
auto-assigns a fitting open table; if the day genuinely can't fit the party it
warns "no tables left this day" — the booking is still created and you assign
a table by hand.

## Reading risk and source

- **No-show risk** (Pro) — pending and confirmed bookings are flagged
  low / med / high based on the guest's history and the booking's shape
  (large party, last-minute). A high-risk large table is worth a quick
  confirmation call before holding it.
- **Source** — where the booking came from: web (booking page), google,
  phone, walk-in… paired with your [booking links](/en/docs/booking-link) it
  shows which channel works hardest.
- Guests you've [blocked](/en/docs/customers) show ⛔ next to their name and
  can no longer book online.
