Reservation settings control what guests see in confirmation emails after they book a table — policies, dress code, check-in rules, and more.
Open the sidebar, click Settings, then Reservations. On that page, scroll to the Reservation settings section (chit and printer info are in Printers & receipts on the same page).
Reservation settings
Reservation note — Rich text added to confirmation emails when customers purchase a reservation. Include anything they need at the door: age requirements, dress code, check-in time, cancellation policy, beverage minimums, and who to contact with questions.
The more complete your note, the fewer surprises at check-in. See Venue Details for general venue info; this field is specifically for post-booking email copy.
Example topics to cover:
- Check-in deadline and ID requirements
- Beverage minimums and how tax/gratuity apply
- Cancellation and refund policy
- Venue rules (arrival together, no outside bottles, etc.)
Click Save when you've updated the note.
Reservation Substatuses
Add custom substatus labels staff can assign to a reservation in addition to its status — useful for night-of workflows like "waiting on deposit," "needs host," or "ready to seat."
Web only for now. Reservation Substatuses are available on TablelistPro Web. Mobile app support is coming soon.
- Open Settings → Reservations.
- Scroll to Reservation Substatuses.
- Click Add substatus, type a label, and repeat for each option your team needs.
- Click Save.
Once configured, staff can set a Substatus on a reservation from the reservation slide-out, see it in the Reservations list, and filter by it.
