From the details page of a reservation you can decide to increase/decrease its own time of stay.

Enable this option to allow the customers to self-confirm their reservations through an apposite link received via e-mail. The self-confirmation is used only in case the reservation doesn't require a payment. Applies only in case of PENDING default status.

Keep Tables Locked For
This setting is used to calculate if a table is available for the reservation or not. In case you are using the program with a Deposit to be left, the saved reservation will have a certain status (given by the configuration of the payment method chosen). When the status is Pending, it means that the reservation needs to be paid (or accepted manually from the administrator section) in order to become Confirmed. This setting defines the number of minutes for which the system should keep the tables of a Pending Reservation, as locked so that nobody can choose a table that is being reserved by another client.

Enable Cancellation
Enable this value if you want to allow your customers to cancel their CONFIRMED reservations by themselves from the order details page. When a customer cancels a reservation, the administrator(s) and the customer will receive a notification e-mail.

Cancellation Reason
Choose if the customers have to specify a reason before to cancel a reservation. The possible options are: Never, Optional, Always Required.

Choose the Possible option (recommended) to allow the customers to proceed with the checkout as guests or as logged users.

Safe Distance
The containment measures of COVID-19 require that a certain distance is maintained between people who are not part of the same family. When this option is enabled, the system will ask to the customers whether all the members of the group belong to the same family. If not, the system will search for larger tables so that the distance can be maintained.

Distance Factor
It is possible to define here the factor that will be multiplied by the number of selected people in order to search for larger tables. It is suggested to specify a value between 1.5 and 3. Lets take the 1.5 amount as example. While searching for a table for 6 guests, in case they do not belong to the same family, the system will search for a table for 9 guests (6 * 1.5). In case the result returns a decimal value (e.g. 7 * 1.5 = 10.5), it will be rounded up to the closest integer (e.g. 7 * 1.5 = 11).

Minimum People
Defines the global minimum number of people that can be accepted. By default it is set to 2.

Maximum People
Defines the global maximum number of people that can be accepted. By default it is set to 20.

Courses can be ordered from the summary page of the reservation, once the status will be confirmed. It is also possible to allow the ordering only when the group actually arrives at the restaurant. This can be accomplished by assigning the Arrived code to the reservation. Otherwise, the ordering will be automatically allowed at the check-in time.

The ordering of the dishes will be allowed as long as the bill is open.

In case the reservation has been assigned to one or more menus, it will be possible to order only the dishes that belong to those menus. Otherwise, all the menus available for the check-in date can be used for ordering.

Edit After Transmit
Allow the customers to edit the transmitted dishes as long as they are not under preparation. Turn off to block modifications once the products have been transmitted to the kitchen. This way, once the customers will hit the button to send the ordered items to the kitchen, they will be more allowed to edit them.

Keep Orders Locked for
This setting is used to calculate if a take-away order is available for reservation or not. In case you are using the program with a Deposit to be left, the saved order will have a certain Status (given by the configuration of the payment method chosen). When the Status is Pending, it means that the reservation needs to be paid (or accepted manually from the administrator section) in order to become Confirmed. This setting defines the number of minutes for which the system should keep the order of a Pending Reservation as "locked".

Min Cost per Order
This is the minimum cost per order. It means that, to confirm an order, the total cost in the cart MUST be equals or higher than the specified amount.

The dropdown next to this setting lets you choose whether this restriction should apply to pickup orders, delivery orders or both.

Meals per Interval
The maximum number of meals that your restaurant can prepare in a single interval (No Preparation meals are not counted). This is the main setting for the availability calculation of takeaway order.
For example, if you can handle 15 (preparation) items per interval and you have currently 10 items to prepare @ 7:00 pm, an order with 6 preparation item won't be able to select the delivery time at 7:00 pm (because 10 + 6 > 15).

Max Preparation Slots
The maximum number of slots to check by going backward in case the ordered meals cannot be booked for the selected date and time. All the exceeding meals will fill the previous time slots recursively, as long as they can fit and until this limit is reached.

The selected option indicates the number of time intervals that you can allow for preparing the meals in advance. The higher this amount is, the greater the possibility of receiving more simultaneous orders will be.

By taking the example mentioned within the previous setting, ordering at 7:00 pm will be allowed as long as the N previous time slots (together) are able to handle the preparation of 6 items. In case the exceeding meals are distributes in the previous slots, the system will warn the administrator that the preparation should start a bit early.
