Workflow blueprint

Restaurant table management should explain every change between reservation and release

A table-state timeline, not lawful-capacity advice, arrival proof, food-service confirmation, payment settlement or guest-dispute resolution.

Version the floor, preserve party requests, attribute host actions, carry orders through table transfers and release the table only with visible exceptions.

TL;DR — Version the floor, preserve party requests, attribute host actions, carry orders through table transfers and release the table only with visible exceptions.
1

Publish a dated floor edition

Identify active tables, combinable areas, capacity claims, blocked seats and the manager responsible for changes.

2

Separate reservations from arrivals

Keep party size, requested time, contact purpose, accessibility note, confirmation and host acknowledgement in sequence.

3

Trace seating and order links

Relate table assignment, transfer, linked ticket, service delay, staff note and orphaned order exception.

4

Review checkout and table release

Preserve split request, payment-provider report, unresolved complaint, cleaning handoff and final release action.

Page-specific decision aid

A floor edition, table state, reservation, party arrival, seating, transfer, order link, service note, payment report and release timeline

The timeline follows a party from a confirmed reservation to host arrival, seating, a table move and a split-bill request. An orphaned ticket and provider-status conflict remain visible when the room team prepares the table for its next use.

  • A confirmed booking is not physical arrival.
  • A seated state is not completed service.
  • A gateway status is not cleared payment.
Scope first

What Codeblix would confirm before implementation

This page is an operational blueprint. The final workflow, screens, permissions and integrations depend on your current process and agreed implementation scope.

  • Floor and table identifiers carry editions
  • Booking and physical arrival remain different states
  • Transfers never detach active order evidence
  • Guest identity capacity accessibility food preparation service payment settlement tax and dispute conclusions excluded
