Five Star Restaurant Reservations Pro stores every reservation as a custom post type, with the booking status mapped to the WordPress post_status column. Reservations cycle through Pending, Confirmed, Closed, and Trash. Each post carries postmeta for diner name, email, phone, party size, table assignment, requested date and time, and any dietary notes the diner submitted with the form. The default Five Star admin view is a wide WordPress list table with a status filter and a search box.

SleekView reads the same posts rows directly, with the joined postmeta exposed as columns. The natural group field is post_status, which maps cleanly to the four Five Star statuses. The board renders one card per reservation, with the diner name and party size on the headline, the requested date, time, and table assignment on the meta line, and a small dietary notes badge in the corner whenever the diner added a note to the booking form.

Drag a card from Pending into Confirmed and SleekView updates the post status, fires the Five Star action hook for the confirmation email, and the front-of-house tablet picks up the change on its next refresh. Trash works exactly as the WordPress trash does, with the same recovery window. Closed marks reservations that have already happened so reporting and reviews can run against a clean dataset of completed bookings without the noise of pending requests.

Five Star Restaurant Reservations Pro builds its admin on top of the WordPress list table, which is functional, dense, and slow to scan. Restaurant teams ask one question first when they walk in for a shift, how many reservations need confirming for tonight, and a list of fifty rows is the wrong shape to answer that question quickly. A kanban board with Pending and Confirmed as the two biggest columns answers it in one second.

Everything else stays Five Star. The booking form continues to write postmeta, the confirmation email engine continues to fire on status change, the reports module continues to read from the same posts table. Drag writeback is a faster way to do the most frequent Five Star action, not a replacement for any of it.

The capacity total per column adds a small bit of new information that matters for any host running a service, which is whether the Confirmed column already holds enough covers to fill the kitchen for the night, or whether Pending still has enough on it to risk holding back on confirming until later in the day.
