How to set Reservation Time and Reservation Time Slot?

The RestroFood Table Reservation Add-on supports both:

• Single Branch Restaurant
• Multi Branch Restaurant

You can configure reservation opening hours and reservation time slots easily from the admin settings.

Reservation time settings control:

• When customers can place reservations
• Available reservation times
• Day-wise opening and closing schedules

Single Branch Reservation Time Setup

If you are using a single branch restaurant, reservation time settings are managed globally from the RestroFood settings panel.

Navigate to Settings

From your WordPress admin dashboard:

RestroFood → Settings → Delivery Settings → Delivery/Pickup

Here you can configure the reservation schedule for your restaurant.

You can use the global Day Based Time option for reservation time settings. Or use the Different Reservation Time option for reservation time settings.

Multi Branch Reservation Time Setup

If you are using a multi branch restaurant, reservation time settings are managed separately for each branch.

Navigate to Branch Settings

From your WordPress admin dashboard:

RestroFood → Branches → Add/Edit Branch

You can use the global Day Based Time option for reservation time settings.

You can also use the Different Reservation Time option for reservation time settings.

Each branch can have its own reservation schedule and timing configuration.

This allows different branches to operate with different opening hours and reservation availability.

Day Based Reservation Time Setup

Inside the branch time settings, you will find Day Based Time Set Options.

Using this feature, you can configure reservation availability separately for each day of the week.

Example:

• Monday

• Saturday
• Sunday

Each day can have different reservation times and schedules.
