Managing resources, tables and floor plan

What resources are

Resources are anything that can be assigned to a booking or a service: tables, chairs, courts, beach umbrellas, rooms. Setting them up properly helps you avoid overlaps and gives you a clear picture of availability.

Step 1 — Create the resources

• Add each table or resource with a name and its capacity (e.g. Table 4 = 4 seats).
• Group resources by area or room (indoors, outdoor seating, terrace).

Step 2 — Organize the floor plan

Arrange the resources to mirror your real dining room. A tidy floor plan helps staff see at a glance what's free and what's taken.

Step 3 — Link resources and bookings

When a booking comes in, Puntify suggests the resources suited to the number of guests. You can assign the table automatically or choose it manually yourself.

Step 4 — Services and operators

If you offer appointment-based services (hairdresser, beauty…), link resources to operators: that way each booking takes up the right person and the right station, with no clashes.

Tip

Update the floor plan whenever you change the room layout: the availability shown to customers will always be realistic.
