📕 ADDITIONAL NOTES Free: This status signifies that a table is available for reservation, directly tied to the average meal duration set by the restaurant. It indicates that either the previous reservation has finished and sufficient time has passed, or the expected duration of a meal allows the table to be ready for another booking. This ensures the table can be booked without overlapping existing reservations and maintains a smooth transition between customers. Example: If a restaurant has an average meal duration (average_stay take a look to Services section) of 90 minutes and a table is booked from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM, the table's status will change to Free at 7:30 PM. This means it is now available for a new reservation starting from that time. The system uses this average meal duration to determine when a table becomes available again, helping to manage bookings efficiently and avoid scheduling conflicts.

Group tables: This feature allows you to combine smaller tables to accommodate larger groups. When creating a group table, you must specify the minimum and maximum number of guests that the grouped tables can accommodate. It’s important to note that grouping tables does not increase the overall availability of the restaurant, as the same number of seats is being used—only distributed across different tables. Additionally, you can choose which tables to group based on their proximity, as some tables may be closer to each other, while others may be in different sections of the restaurant.

Example: A restaurant has tables for 2, 4, and 6 people. If a group of 8 wants to book, the user can group two tables for 4, as long as they are close to each other, or combine a table for 2 and a table for 6 if they are near each other. When creating the group table, the user specifies that the minimum and maximum guest numbers are 8, ensuring the reservation is handled correctly. The availability of the restaurant remains unchanged, as the group table simply combines existing tables.
