Working with the module

Five tasks, one module.

Guests book online

A free slot, directly on your website.

Guests select date, time and number of people in the booking widget. The available times are based on your booking rules and the determined availability. You embed the widget in your website or share the direct link.

LidoOS Copilot

AI for guest messages

Make guest messages easier to write.

The Copilot drafts texts for confirmations, reminders and cancellations in the reservation view using the stored reservation data.

Your starting point

Select a reservation and “Confirmation”. Guest name, date, number of people and stored wishes are included in the text suggestion.

You decide what gets used.

Confirmation text generated in the reservation module for a fictional reservation.

This is what the Copilot does here

  • Drafts confirmations, reminders and cancellations.
  • Uses guest name, date and number of people; for confirmations also stored special wishes.
  • Includes the chosen reason for cancellations.

This is what it doesn’t check

  • Whether a table or a suggested alternative slot is actually free.
  • Whether special wishes can be fulfilled or allergies and intolerances are considered.
  • Whether the chosen cancellation reason is accurate.

The right occasion is already covered.

Choose confirmation, reminder or cancellation. If you cancel, you also provide a reason. You don’t need an idea library; the message types are directly selectable in the reservation.

The text remains a suggestion to edit and copy. Text generation doesn’t send any messages or change reservation status.

Plan tables

You see where your guests are sitting.

The table plan assigns your tables to the rooms. You see reservations and table status and can overview the seating for the service. You adjust the room layout and seating to match your restaurant.

Welcome guests

From confirmed slot to occupied table.

Open the reservation, read the guest’s wishes and mark their arrival. After the visit, close the process. Cancellations and no-shows can also be recorded.

Overview of the day

Your team knows who’s coming next.

In the overview you’ll find today’s reservations and the next arrivals. The list can be filtered by date, status and area. This helps you find the right process even during service.

In combination with the till

Reservations reach the till. And the status comes back.

Nova provides rooms, tables and seating to LidoOS POS. Once the reservation bridge is enabled for your business, bookings travel to the till and status changes travel back to Nova.

  • Nova → POS: every reservation from Nova appears as a connected reservation at the till, with guest name, party size, time and notes. Changes and cancellations follow.
  • During service: the till shows guest name, notes and party size for the reservation right at the table.
  • POS → Nova: arrival, seating, cancellation, no-show and completion set by the team at the till update the Nova reservation. If the transfer fails, LidoOS catches it up automatically.
  • Limit: walk-ins created only at the till do not appear in Nova. The bridge has to be set up for your business.

Also in the module

  • Direct booking

    Guests choose date, time and party size in the booking widget. Embed it on your website or link to the reservation page.

  • Rules and capacity

    Opening hours, booking notice, group sizes and available seats define the booking options.

  • Calendar and floor plan

    Manage tables, areas, assignments and occupancy, including bookings received by phone.

  • Waiting list

    Record interested guests when full, offer released capacity and convert a waiting-list entry into a reservation.

  • Confirm, change, cancel

    Track booking status. Guests can change or cancel using their personal link within your rules.

  • Guest notes and arrival

    Keep internal notes and record arrivals or no-shows for the team.

  • Optional deposits

    With configured payment and deposit rules, payment becomes part of booking. Manage payment status and refunds.

  • Reminders, lists and reports

    Configured messages remind guests. Reports and exports support planning; connected printing provides booking slips and daily lists.

What you need to get started

For restaurants managing service periods, seating areas, phone bookings and walk-ins.

Maintain opening hours, capacity and rules. Messages require delivery setup; deposits require an active payment provider. CRM and printing require their corresponding activation and connections.

The limits

Good planning needs well-maintained details.

Opening hours, booking rules and table capacities must match your operation. Special wishes are notes, not guarantees. Online reservations and automatically generated texts don’t replace team coordination.

Packages

Reservations are included from Starter.

The Reservations module is part of Starter, Professional and Enterprise. Scope, additional features and current terms can be found in the shop.

Short answers

Good to know

Can I use my existing website?

Yes. Link to the booking page or embed the widget. A Nova-built website is not required; integration and mobile display should be checked for your site.

What happens when two guests want the same table at the same time?

The offered times come from your booking rules and the determined availability. Once a slot is taken, the widget no longer offers it.

Can I manage phone reservations together with online bookings?

Yes. You enter calls in the same form and see them in the same overview as online reservations, with status, area and wishes.

Are the guests and reservations shown real?

No. All views come from the demo restaurant Via Palermo with fictitious people and transactions. They show the interface, not occupancy.

Via Palermo is a demo restaurant. Names, email addresses and shown business processes are fictional.

Build the right setup for your business.
