RESERVATION DESK · Workflow idea

Confirm the table, time, and guest count before telling anyone it is booked.

For a restaurant team, organize a customer’s reservation request and compare it with the current table and booking records. Availability can change between lookup and confirmation, guest counts can be misread, and cancellations may affect another party. Protect contact details, confirm date, time zone, party size, and accessibility or allergy requests with staff, and send a booking confirmation only after the restaurant verifies and approves the exact reservation.

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A voluntary reservation request, a current table schedule, and an authorized host

“Prepare a clear reservation option without confirming a table that has not been verified.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Organizes incoming reservation requests, checks table information, and prepares a booking or change for review.

  1. Confirm permission to use the message or calendar

    Check the owner’s access, the intended date range, and the approved audience.

  2. Verify dates, time zones, and event details

    Compare extracted information with the original request and check recurrence or daylight-saving effects.

  3. Keep private meeting details minimal

    Omit sensitive descriptions, locations, and attendee information unless needed.

  4. Check for conflicts and changes

    Review current availability, cancellations, and duplicates before proposing an event.

  5. Get owner approval before changing or sharing

    Require the calendar owner to confirm the exact event, recipients, and invitation.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A proposed booking with date, time, party size, source check, and host approval status.

The handoff

A proposed booking with date, time, party size, source check, and host approval status.

Keep in mind

A stale availability sheet can cause double-booking. Verify the live schedule and guest details with staff before confirming, modifying, or canceling a reservation.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Explain calendar access and intended use

State which event fields are read, where a digest goes, and how long it is retained.

Limit calendar permissions and recipients

Grant only the access required and keep summaries private by default.

Test time zones and recurring events

Validate boundary dates, daylight-saving changes, and event updates.

Keep calendar writes owner-approved

Do not create invitations or change schedules until the owner confirms the details.
