The booking cut-off time determines how long in advance a guest can book a table.

This can be applied at various levels:

• Session i.e. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
• Schedule i.e. Monday to Friday
• Period i.e. 7 days in advance
• Time i.e. 15 minutes before session starts
• Menu type i.e. A la carte, offers or both
• Offer type i.e. a specific offer

A Priority can also be added for specific dates.

A cut off time can be applied to new bookings, booking cancellation or both.

To create a booking cut-off time rule, from the main menu, select Availability and then Booking Rules.

In the Booking Cut off Time / Period section, click on the Add Cut off Time / Period button.
