Restaurant Table Reservation Book

Restaurant Table Reservation Book is an offline app (one HTML file in a zip) for the person who answers the phone and keeps the book. You enter the tables with their seats once. For each booking you type the guest, date, time and party size, and the app lists only the tables that are free for that sitting and large enough. A grid shows every table across the service so the gaps are easy to see. Guests who cannot be seated go on a waitlist, and the app tells you when a table frees up for them.

The problem it removes: The book is a paper diary or a chat history, two parties get the same table at the same time, a party of two sits at a table for eight, and nobody is sure which table to offer when someone rings at the last minute. This app keeps one book for the floor, refuses a double booking, suggests the right table and shows the nearest free times.

What is inside:

• Floor of tables with seats, an optional smallest party, and an area such as Window or Terrace
• Service grid for one day: every table across the time slots, a bar for each booking, and a plus on a free slot to add a booking there
• Booking form that lists only the tables that are free for the sitting and fit the party, and refuses a double booking when saved
• Find a table: choose date, time and party size and see the free tables, or the nearest times with a free table
• Waitlist for a day with a one tap button to book a table that has freed up
• Status for each booking: Booked, Confirmed, Seated, Completed, No show, Cancelled, with covers and the most covers at one time for the day
• Confirmation message text with the guest name, date, time and party filled in, ready to copy and send yourself
• Checks for double bookings, party size that does not fit its table, bookings with no table, unconfirmed bookings for today and tomorrow, past bookings never closed, and bookings outside the opening hours you set
• Printable reservation sheet for the day
• Example data you can load in one click, a Start here guide and an Honest limits panel
• JSON backup and restore, CSV export, and CSV import with a check of every row before anything is added

Who it is for: owners, hosts and managers of small restaurants, cafes, lounges and private dining rooms who take bookings by phone, message or at the door and want one clear book for the floor.

What it is NOT: It does not take online bookings, send messages or reminders, take deposits or card details, or connect to any booking website or phone system. It records what the person using it types. Table sizes and the length of a sitting are numbers you enter and nothing here knows your venue's safety or capacity limits. It is not legal, tax or accounting advice, it is not connected to any government system, bank or messaging service, and it does not file or send anything by itself. UAE e-invoicing is not part of it.

Verified by us: scripted tests in Chromium (107 checks through the real screens: adding, editing and deleting records in every table, required-field messages, backup then clear then restore, CSV export then import, keyboard order, print layouts rendered to PDF, no horizontal scrolling at 375 and 1280 pixels, no network requests) and no calculated fields to cross-check. Safari engine (WebKit): smoke test passed; Firefox: could not be launched. Not tested: Firefox beyond what is stated here, and no real printer was used (print layouts were checked as PDF).
