The Reservation Books
All outlets use reservation books that are the same in layout. A generic sample page of the reservation book is attached for your reference.
Every Reservation book will be divided into sections by overall seating plans and times.  This will avoid the risk of overbooking a particular restaurant during one seating, therefore minimizing service issues and preventing the kitchen from falling behind.  It will also provide an automatic feature where any person filling the book will be able to see if particular seating is full and at a glance recommend additional seating times.  This is the main difference between the reservation books in each outlet, as this will have to be customized based on service times and method of service and seating capacity in each outlet. 

Every Reservation book also has included with it a floor/seating plan of the restaurant.
