Create the booking type
Start setting up your booking type:
Click Settings, Sites, and choose your site.
Click Booking types.
Click Add Booking type.
You will then get a pop-up asking you to add a booking type name and then select how you want to create the booking type:
Blank: You will need to set up all the booking type parameters manually.
Template: This means you can create a booking type from a pre-existing template.
Once you select the template, you will see the different types of sites and booking types suitable for those venue types.
You can choose booking types typical for a:
RESTAURANT.
PUB.
BAR.
CLUB.
GROUP BOOKINGS.
Choose a booking type that is most suitable for your venue by clicking on it, and then Add booking type.
The booking type will then be copied over to your settings with all the parameters filled in for you to use as a base.
📌Note: All the parameters added are based on an example site, so make sure to go sense and check each section to see whether the parameters would apply to your site.
Things to verify
Availability: Check all earliest and latest booking times, min and max durations, min and max enquiry size, and booking policy.
Auto-confirm rules: if you decide to keep the rules, make sure to add Areas for this booking type for the feature to work.
Customer Payments: check this section, as some templates have been set up with card details or deposits at the point of booking.
Email templates: Make sure to amend the email templates and check whether you would like automated confirmation and cancellation emails.
You can copy multiple booking types one after the other.
⚠️Warning: Make sure to save your progress.
