Closing Online Bookings for Specific Days

Date exceptions allow you to block off areas and shifts for certain dates so that online bookings cannot be made

To quickly close off a date for online bookings, log into your Dineplan account and follow the below easy steps:

  • Click on the Exceptions tab from the black vertical option bar on the left.

  • Click Add date exception at the top right.

  • Give the Exception a Name (For internal usage) and an Online Name ( What the guests sees on the widget).

  • You're able to select a Single Date or Date Range from the drop down.

  • All shifts and areas are marked as disabled by default (a blue circle with white tick). Select the shift(s) that you'd like to leave open. A blue circle with a white tick means that it has been blocked.

  • Exception Notes allows you to add internal notes.

  • Enter your name and click Add Exception.

Exceptions are used to close a date or time that you are usually open. If you want to open up your restaurant for different trading hours on a particular day for an event or special occasion, you will use a Custom Date
