How can I keep track of how long guests have been seated?

In your reservation settings, you decide how long guests can stay, for example an hour and a half. To manage turnover time effectively, you can set rules for the duration of table reservations. When guests get close to the end of their allotted stay, their table turns orange. Once they are overtime, the table turns red. Learn more about seating availability.
