Today, we released six new features as part of iteration 4.1 of the SevenRooms iOS app. Here’s what it includes:
(Note: This feature applies to dining accounts only.) We don’t have to tell you that this one’s huge; most of you have been asking for it for a while. Here’s what grid on mobile lets you do:
Scenario: A new guest is about to arrive, and you’re left without any context. Who are they? What do they look like? Where do they work? You need this information to personalize your greeting and service. Solution: This feature initiates a Google Search fly-out from the Reservation and Client slide-outs, so you don’t need to close your app and open an internet browser window. Seconds saved on each guest turns into hours saved per day.
Scenario: A regular calls into the host stand and wants to book their favorite table for tonight. The best way to do this has been to add a new reservation and then choose the table from there. It wasn’t easy to search and book availability for that one table from the get-go. Solution: Now, you can select their table on Floor Plan and search and book availability specific to that one table. Just double-click on the client’s favorite table, and you’ll see an “Add Future Reservation” button. Note: You also have this option on Grid, too!
(Note: This feature applies to dining accounts only.)Scenario: Before, when a party left a table, the fastest way to mark the status was in two steps: first click on the table, then click on the “Seated” status to find “Left.”Solution: Now, you can mark them as “Left” using the new button right within in the table card. No need to click into the list of statuses. You just got a shortcut!
