Attitude
At the beginning, restaurant received reservations via online reservation widget from the restaurant website. Guests used to book a table that way anytime they wanted without calling to the restaurant. Information about these reservations was sent to restaurant´s mailbox. Staff had to accept them manually and write them down in classic paper reservation book. This made restaurant management slower and slower and staff had extra work.
BookioPro helped us to improve whole reservation system without our effort. We are now able to exploit restaurant capacity to the maximum and gain more money

Challenge
From the BookioPro online reservation system the restaurant was expecting saving time and clear and transparent reservation overview. After few months restaurant management realized that BookioPro gave them more.
Results
When looking at the online reservation system, the staff automatically knows when it is possible to accept another phone reservation. BookioPro shows the nearest available date and staff doesn’t have to send customers away – this helps the restaurant to improve a table management. Thanks to better reservation overview, waiters can seat more walk-ins. Restaurant Café Imperial appreciates the fact that BookioPro automatically checks free capacity (online reservations via online reservation widget). If the capacity of the restaurant is full (during the most frequent time), BookioPro suggests the closest available date to the guests. BookioPro ensures effective and efficient table management during whole day. It helps to improve restaurant planning, because the guests can select the length of their visit via online reservation widget.
