Five Star Restaurant Reservations Pro stores each reservation as an rtb_booking custom post in wp_posts, with party size, date and time, status, and contact details written to wp_postmeta. The plugin's admin gives a clean booking list with status tabs and a small booking calendar, which is well suited to the host stand and limiting for any deeper review of covers, no-shows, or peak-hour pressure on the kitchen.

SleekView Charts treats the rtb_booking post type as a chart dataset. The booking date and time meta is pivoted into a real datetime column, party size into an integer column, and status into the categorical column the plugin already writes. A service dashboard pins covers tonight as a Number, charts party-size mix as a Donut, ranks booking sources or covers per hour as a Bar, and plots covers per day as an Area chart over the selected date range.

Every card runs aggregations through the indexes WordPress already creates on post type and post date, and meta-driven filters use wp_postmeta directly. A busy restaurant install with thousands of historical reservations renders the dashboard in well under a second.

Restaurant Reservations Pro handles the booking flow cleanly: the form, the confirmation email, the host-stand list. What it doesn't do is summarise. Owners and managers ask the same handful of questions every week: how many covers we ran, what share were no-shows, which hour got slammed, whether weekday demand is shifting.

Each question is one chart against the rtb_booking custom post dataset that already lives in WordPress. SleekView Charts gives that dataset a rendering layer, with cards that map cleanly to the operational questions: Number for the covers KPI, Donut for the status share, Bar for the hour ranking, Area for the trend. The booking list keeps owning the per-reservation record, the chart board gives the team the service-level view that pure plugin admin has never delivered.
