Good to know
- A type with Custom table selection on can still offer a paused table, if the table is hand-picked in that type.
- For a few hours or days, use Block time on the Day Planner instead. See block tables or time.
- Hidden from day planner on an area only hides it from your view. It does not stop bookings, and makes them hard to find.
- FOH, Bookings Manager, Marketing and IT cannot see Tables or Combinations.
