Use Case(s)

A Club may wish to allow their Members to register for Dining Reservations utilizing the on-line Reservations system.  Additionally, the Club may also utilize the Clubessential Office Product, with Food and Beverage POS fully implemented in their Dining facilities.  In addition to allowing the Members to make reservations online, the Club is interested in assisting Members who call-in or walk-up with making a Dining Reservation.  Daily, the Club would also like the Food and Beverage areas of their Club to have integrated visibility and editing capabilities to the Dining Reservations, be able to easily convert the reservations into POS dining tickets; assign tables and servers to the Reservations, add items to the Tickets, and ultimately charge their Members.  The Unified Suite provides the Club with the ability to meet their goals.

Review Dining Room Status

To review the status of the open Dining Room tickets, click on an open (Yellow) ticket to launch the “Ticket Audit Preview,” screen.  

The food ordered can be viewed, and therefore an estimate of when the table may be available could be obtained.  

In the example below, entree salads were just ordered, so it is likely the table will not be finishing up in the very near future.
