Finding a free table
If there is no free table available for the selected time period, the buttons for time shift +- 30 MINUTES will be displayed in the right part. By tapping on these buttons you change the time period specified in the left part (18:00 on the image below) by 30 minutes forward or backward. By changing the time, you will see free tables that meet the selected reservation parameters.
So you can use the buttons (time shift forward or backward) to find the nearest free table meeting the specifications in the left part and create the reservation immediately.

We recommend leaving some time distance between individual reservations, because customers are not always punctual. |
