Reservations
One reservation system. Two restaurant-controlled pricing models.
Seatd Reservations connects guest booking, the Host Stand, and the Floor Map. Fixed and Dynamic use the same operating system; the difference is how the access price is determined.
Reservation model 01
Fixed Reservations
Fixed is built for restaurants that take reservations for most of their guests and want a consistent access price on the most desirable times, premium tables, or high-demand experiences.
The restaurant decides every rule.
- Which reservation times remain free
- Which times have a price
- Which tables or sections qualify
- The fixed access price
- How many premium reservations are released
- Which days use paid access
- When paid access is paused

What arrives at the restaurant
A paid reservation is still a real reservation inside the same operating workflow. The host sees the guest, time, protected table context, and next action.
