Customer Form Settings: What Diners Can Do
Customize the exact diner-facing experience so your online booking form aligns with your floor capacity and kitchen throughput.
Party Size Limits (Min / Max Pax)
Set the minimum and maximum party size that can reserve online without staff approval (e.g., 1 to 10 guests). Parties larger than your maximum are prompted with a friendly message: 'For groups larger than 10, please call our reservations team directly.'
Dining Turn Times & Time Slot Increments
• Default Turn Time: How long each table is reserved (e.g. 90 minutes for 2 pax, 120 minutes for 4+ pax).
• Slot Increments: Offer booking times every 15 minutes (18:00, 18:15, 18:30) or 30 minutes (18:00, 18:30, 19:00).
• Last Booking Buffer: Minimum minutes before kitchen close that a booking can be made (e.g. 60 mins before close).
Date Display Mode: Slider vs Calendar
TableStruck offers two distinct date selection styles:
• Date Strip Slider (Default): Horizontal scrolling date strip optimized for mobile devices and quick same-week bookings.
• Month Calendar: Full interactive calendar dropdown ideal for destination dining and advance event bookings.
