SleekView Kanban for Restaurant Table Booking
SleekView Kanban reads the Restaurant Table Booking reservation table, groups every reservation by its status, and lets you drag a card from Pending to Confirmed, Seated, or Cancelled with the change written through the plugin's own update path.

Front-of-house reservations stack up in a flat list
Restaurant Table Booking stores every reservation as a row with a status column whose values include pending, confirmed, seated, cancelled, and no-show. The default admin lists those reservations as a flat table sorted by reservation time with the status as a small column per row, which works for a quiet bistro and falls apart on Friday night when every table is turning.
SleekView Kanban reads the same reservation table and treats the status column as the natural axis to group by. Each card surfaces the guest name, the party size, the requested time, the table assignment, and any note from the booking. Columns mirror your real Restaurant Table Booking statuses, so the pending stack and the seated stack each read as a single number rather than as labels scattered across rows.
Drag a card from Confirmed to Seated when the guest arrives and SleekView calls the same Restaurant Table Booking update path the admin uses, which marks the table as occupied so the public booking form stops offering the same slot. Drag to No-show after a grace period and the table is released back to the pool. Per-shift boards keep the floor manager focused on tonight's seating without the back-office noise.

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for Restaurant Table Booking
Group by any reservation status
Use the built-in Restaurant Table Booking statuses or any custom value your front-of-house workflow has added. SleekView lists every distinct value in the column and renders one board column per status, with counts that update live as you drag.
Drag to change reservation status
Move a card from Confirmed to Seated when the guest arrives and SleekView calls the same Restaurant Table Booking update path the admin uses. Table availability and any SMS hooks fire so nothing in the lifecycle silently breaks.
Configurable card fields
Pick which reservation fields land on each card: guest, party size, requested time, table assignment, deposit status, or any custom intake-form field. Times format themselves and table IDs resolve into readable labels.
Audience
Workflows the kanban view unlocks for restaurants
Daily reservations queue
Start each shift on the Pending column, scan new requests, drag the ones that fit into Confirmed. The board doubles as the host's checklist for tonight's service and the confirmation email fires automatically.
Live floor view
Open the board on a tablet at the host stand, drag arrivals into Seated as parties come in, drag no-shows after the grace period. Tables stay accurate so the floor team knows what is occupied.
Deposit and no-show recovery
Filter to the No-show column at the end of the shift to keep deposits or send recovery offers, drag to Cancelled once you have closed the loop, and keep the recovery flow auditable for the manager.
The bigger picture
Service runs on a board, not a list
A restaurant floor is a real-time system: confirmations come in, parties arrive, tables turn, no-shows free up seats for walk-ins. Restaurant Table Booking captures all of that already, but the default admin lists reservations in time order with status as a small label, which is the wrong axis for the question hosts actually ask, which is who is seated right now and which tables are about to turn. The board view fixes this by making the only state that matters, the reservation status, the primary axis of the screen.
You can see at a glance how many tables are confirmed for the next slot, how many are currently seated, and how many no-shows have just released seats back to the pool. Cards make individual bookings legible at the level of guest, party size, time, table, and any allergy or anniversary note. Drag is the natural verb for marking a table seated when a party arrives, and because SleekView writes through the plugin's own update path, every drag still triggers the confirmation emails, the table availability changes, and the SMS hooks you already configured.
The list view stays available for the back office while the host stand finally has a board for service.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Restaurant Table Booking
Every value the plugin writes to the status column: Pending, Confirmed, Seated, Cancelled, and No-show. Any custom status you have registered through a snippet or extension appears as its own column the moment a reservation lands in it, with no manual mapping required.
Yes. SleekView calls the same update path the admin uses, so the reservation row changes, confirmation emails fire, table availability refreshes, and any SMS or webhook hooks you have configured trigger exactly as if you had used the standard interface.
 SleekView offers an optional confirmation prompt on drags that release a seated table, and any drag can be reverted by dragging back. The table availability refreshes to whatever the final state is, so the floor team never sees a flicker between values.
 Yes. SleekView reads reservation state on a short interval and reconciles drags against the live record, so if a colleague has already seated a party on their screen, you see the new state before your drag conflicts. Optimistic updates revert cleanly on rejected writes.
 The primary grouping is status, but each card surfaces the table assignment, party size, and requested time, which gives you the same context the booking screen does without leaving the board. Saved filters scope a board to a single shift or floor.
 Yes. SMS gateways and deposit add-ons hook into the same status lifecycle the board writes to, so SMS messages, deposit captures, and refunds continue to run on drags. SleekView never bypasses the plugin's own functions, so behaviour stays consistent.
 Yes. Save a filtered view per shift, floor, or location and SleekView renders one board per saved view. Column counts and writes are scoped to the rows in that view, so the floor manager has a focused screen while the owner has an all-shifts board.
 Yes. SleekView only loads cards for the columns currently visible and paginates older reservations into a scroll-on-demand tail. The board reads and writes on a short interval so the host stand sees status changes from the kitchen and the floor without manual refresh.
