Different agendas for different people
The team needs to consult service bookings without relying on scattered messages.
Your restaurant reservations, with the dining room under control
A daily agenda, tables and a waitlist so your team works from the same service.
Hostelella brings restaurant, bar and café reservation management into the same app as staff shifts, purchasing and invoices. Check the day, filter by service and review table occupancy at the time you need.
Managers record bookings, walk-ins and waitlist entries. From each reservation they can confirm, mark arrival, assign a table, seat guests and complete the service. Team members can consult the agenda according to their permissions.
This agenda is for internal venue operations. It is not a public online booking engine or a hotel PMS. Reservation data belongs to the business and is not published on the website.
How to organise reservations
Set up services and tables
Managers add the services and tables used by the venue.
Record each arrival
Create a booking, record a walk-in or add an entry to the waitlist.
Coordinate the agenda and dining room
Check the day, filter by service and update each reservation's arrival, table and status.
When bookings live in paper notes and messages
Arrivals and waiting guests without a shared view
Bookings and walk-ins need clear tracking throughout service.
Overlapping table assignments
Before assigning a table, you need to know whether it is occupied at that time.

Questions about reservations and tables
Can I manage restaurant reservations and tables?
Yes. Hostelella includes a daily agenda and a dining-room view to manage reservations, services, tables, walk-ins and the waitlist. Managers can create bookings, assign tables and update their status; the team can consult the agenda. It is an internal operations tool, not a public online booking engine for guests.
Can guests book online?
The current module records and manages reservations within the business. It does not include a public online booking engine for guests.
Can I manage walk-ins?
Yes. Record a walk-in or add an entry to the waitlist, then track its status during service.
What happens if a table is occupied?
If the table is occupied at that time, Hostelella asks you to choose another one. It does not overwrite the existing reservation.
Who can create or change reservations?
Managers, admins and owners can create, edit, update statuses and configure services or tables. Other team members can consult the agenda.
