Preferences
The Preferences tab is used to manage time slots displayed to customers when they book tables online and when you are making reservations. Once you've bulk created time slots, you can edit by weekday and, if applicable, session.
The Preferences tab, after initial setup, is not often needing any further amendments.
When your site is first set up, the person(s) responsible for building your site will define these settings either on your behalf, or with you when you undertake training.
