v. 5.8.0

🌟 New Features

Credit card binding

In addition to Prepay Deposit, we are now introducing credit card binding feature!

An option to mandatory bind credit card information of customers making an online reservation. When the customer is late or cancels the reservation, the restaurant can charge a percentage of the deposit fee. Not only will it greatly decrease the no-show rate, the quality of reservation management have greatly improved.

Restaurants can setup the terms of credit card binding at the backend, such as number of people and price. With the backend supporting multiple languages setup is a breeze.

Easily keep track of the latest deposit information on the iPad for every guest reservation. If the guest is late or cancel the reservation, it will notify the restaurant for deduction, the deduction amount can be customized, and the money can be safely controlled.

New mechanism to sync daily reservations

Ever have the times where the daily reservation are not loaded completely or not synchronized?With this new update we have added a complete optimization to the synchronization. We have added a refresh button at the top of the reservation page by the date, easily refresh the page at anytime.
