Automated Data Entries from Incoming Phone Calls
When a customer calls to make a reservation, the system can automatically recognize the phone number and cross-reference it with the data already stored in your database.

If the phone number matches an existing customer, the app can automatically retrieve and fills their data into the new reservation, including their name, phone number, and any other relevant information.

Quick Print of The Reservations
Our app includes a button in the Administration module that allows a quick printing of reservations for a specified time period - whether it be for the day, week, or a customized period.
