It is important to understand how this works in ResDiary.

When a Guest books online, they have an the option to un-select to receive news & offers by Email and by SMS. If you have a high percentage of online reservations, you may be surprised by how many people actually opt-out.

When a Guest books by Email or by Telephone, they may state that they do not wish to receive any news or offers from you by Email and SMS. When you are making the booking, you can un-select the Opt In boxes beside Mobile (HP) and Email, as below.

Never under sell your restaurant again with our improved rules’ settings. You will have complete flexibility to apply different rules by:

• Periods of the year
• Day of Week
• Service
• Time Slot

You can also apply automatic over-rides - variable by day of week. If your tables are not sold for a larger number of covers then the rule will no longer apply a pre-designated number mins before service starts. Also you can manually apply exceptions to any day, service or individual time slot!

Example: You have a table that seats 6 in your restaurant, and a diary rule to say 'don't sell this table to a party of less than 4'. You can now tell the diary that if the table is NOT sold 60 minutes prior to service, it can open up this table for smaller tables so you don't lose out on last minute bookings.

Settings - Rules

What are Rules used for?

Resdiary created rules  to ensure that restaurant managers can rest assured that the right decisions are made to maximize profit while protecting the quality of service. There are two types of rules:

1. Covers per table[s] restrictions  which ensure that tables of specific sizes are booked with the maximum numbers of covers thus ensuring the profitability of peak periods.
2. Table size by time restrictions  which ensure that large party bookings are only taken at the times that the kitchen and front of house staff can manage them and other guests in the correct manner.

Business Benefits

• Never under sell larger tables when there is customer demand and maximize the covers booked per table.
• Fill larger tables during shoulder times and maximize the covers booked per table per service.
• Restrict larger tables form being booked a specific times of your choice.
• Allow senior staff members to make sensible judgement and over ride the system restrictions.

How Rules Works

RULES can be accessed at   Settings> Rules  or by typing 'Rules' into the ResDiary search box.

Covers per table(s) restrictions

These rules can be applied to any tables size and allow a minimum number of covers bookable by  Segment  by  Service  by  Day of Week  and by  Time Slot,   (see the Segment/Service Table and the Adjustment sub page).

Example 1 :This rule means that Resdiary only allows bookings of 3 or more covers at tables with a capacity of 4 on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. (i.e.2 people can't book at tables for 4).

 By creating a cascade of rules all table sizes can be protected and thus never undersold by accident.

Here are some very useful tutorial videos:

1.  No 2's on 4's 

2. 5 or more on a 6 top during peak times only 

3. Tables by time restrictions

4. Rules Exceptions

Recently, I have noticed more and more comments from guests when they are booking online, that they are booking for 6 adults and 3 children, rather than booking for 9 Adults. For busy restaurants this could cause you a potential overbooking situation.

If you would like to add Children to your booking widget, please let me know. We can even add infants, but I imagine most of you will simply add a highchair to an existing table.

Just in case you hadn't noticed, after ResDiary's last release, you can now over-ride the Table Capacity  for future services and future dates. This is especially usually in Asia, where #restaurants are generally configured to seat Western people, but in fact these tables are often occupied by many smaller Asian people, giving you even more scope to boost business.

When we over-ride a table's capacity, ResDiary creates a secret "phantom" table and a secret join. The Join is only temporary and deleted after use. The Phantom table exists in your Diary settings as it has reservation data against it. We hope to filter out all these phantom tables from your view very shortly.

Resdiary.com continues to grow and drive reservations to you, as well as very high Google ranking. Using the ResDiary Review widget in your Post Dining Email to generate frequent reviews, which are also stored within the guest profile, you will not only receive 100% verified reviews, but you will find resdiary.com/Restaurant/MyRestaurant is very high in your Google listings. 

Our mission is to provide you with Free online reservations from your Top 10 Google listings. See here how to do more.

Your listing on resdiary.com is free and so are all the reservations coming from there. We also boost your social media activity to convert reservations to there.

Your listing has many search parameters, which you can update by going to Settings>Alter ...

In our latest release, we added the ability to print on an EPOS style Kitchen printer, the main details of a booking. This can be very useful to share info within the team or to pass on info for guest's special requests

We’ve just made it easier for you to make decisions quickly when seating guests during a busy service. Our improved table plan view will deliver an instant snapshot of your entire restaurant operation. No more scrolling to see all of your tables! We’ve optimised the table plan so you can see the entire screen on more devices, and a wide range of screen sizes, without losing functionality.

We have just added even more information available within the Booking History of a reservation. At a simple click on the booking, key information is easy at a glance, assisting you to manage your restaurant even more successfully.

ResDiary's Widget now supports the Thai language. 

The widget language is controlled by your guest's browser language, so if you guest's main language setting in their browser is  Thai, then they will see the widget automatically translated.

Recently, we also added Bahasa Indonesia and Japanese to ResDiary's already long list of over 20 languages

Here is a video to outline some of the many possibilities you have when taking bookings from a guest.

You can manually enter a deposit against a guest's booking and then manually updated when they pay the deposit by Paypal, transfer, Credit card, Stripe or whatever. You can track your deposits within each booking and from the Deposit report.

We can add deposits automatically to bookings , with automatic payment taken via Stripe.

We have tokenisation via Stripe and your booking widget. They are many parameters to this. It is basically like a secure online Credit Card Approval Form and only if you need to, do you charge the guest. This is already gaining lots of interest as a solution to reduce No Show bookings.
