A dining time says how long a party keeps its table. ResRes uses it to decide when a table is free again.

Add a dining time

  1. Open Setup → Dining times and choose Add dining time.
  2. Set Smallest party and Largest party, for example 1 to 2.
  3. Set Dining time (minutes), for example 90.
  4. Optionally set Turnaround (minutes). This keeps the table free after the guests leave, for clearing and resetting. Guests aren't shown this extra time.
  5. Under Applies to, choose All services or one service.
  6. Choose Save dining time.

Repeat until every party size you accept is covered, for example 1–2, 3–4, 5–8.

Checking for gaps

If the checklist lists a gap such as "Dinner: 9–12", add or widen a rule for that service until the gap disappears.
