The new table grouping/combination feature is not compatible with the old plugin. If you wish to update the plugin on your website, please integrate the widget from V3 version widget integration.
How Grouping Works When Searching for Available Tables:
- Available tables: The system first looks for available individual tables.
- Groups in the same dining room: If no individual tables are available, the system checks for table groups and prioritizes booking groups within the same dining room.
- Groups in different dining rooms: If no tables or groups are available in the same dining room, the system will check groups from different zones (if any is).
You can set the reservation length by groups in the reservation duration settings. Read more.
How to create table groups:
- Log in to the updated V3 system via admin.tablein.com.
- Open the Table combination settings.
- Click "Add New Group" in the upper right corner.
- Enter a name that will make it easy to identify the groups.
- Select the number of people - specify the minimum and maximum number of guests that can reserve a table in that group. For example, if you can add an extra chair, you can enter a larger number.
- For example, you have two two-person tables, but when combined, they can seat 4 to 6 people.
- For convenience, the system calculates the capacity of the selected tables at the bottom.
- Save the group.
Note: The same tables can belong to multiple different groups.
Removing Groups
If you need to remove a group, you can do so easily without affecting any existing reservations.
