All reservations sync automatically with the restaurant’s host tablet, helping staff manage bookings efficiently and deliver a smoother guest experience. ## **Step-by-Step Instructions** --- ### FAQs **What party size is selected by default?** The app defaults to a party of two, as this is the most commonly booked reservation size. **Why don’t I see my preferred time available?** Available times are based on the restaurant’s real-time availability. If a specific time is unavailable, the app will display the closest available options. **Can guests add notes to their reservation?** Yes. Guests can include notes such as birthdays or special requests during the reservation process. **Where can guests view upcoming or past reservations?** Guests can view all upcoming and past reservations in the **Activity** tab within the GoTo app. --- ### Tips - If a newly created reservation does not appear immediately, refresh the Home screen or navigate to the **Activity** tab. - Ensure the restaurant has **Reserve** enabled in the Reserve portal for the **Reserve** button to appear. - Availability and time slots are controlled by the restaurant’s reservation settings and capacity rules. - Guest notes entered during booking will display on the host tablet to assist staff with service preparation. --- ### Related Articles - [How to Download the App | GoTo Place](https://help.spoton.com/space/SK/4026630242) - [How to Search for a Local Restaurant | GoTo Place](https://help.spoton.com/space/SK/4027154511) - [How to Place an Order | GoTo Place](https://help.spoton.com/space/SK/4026892425)
