SleekView Kanban for Vik Booking
Vik Booking keeps reservations in custom database tables. SleekView Kanban reads those tables directly, groups bookings by status, and lets staff drag cards between pending, confirmed, checked-in, and cancelled to update the underlying reservation record.

Vik Booking reservations as cards, not table rows
Vik Booking stores reservations in its own custom database tables, with the vikbooking_orders table holding the booking ID, guest name, total, dates, and status. The status column tracks pending, confirmed, checked-in, and cancelled as the four core states the plugin supports across its hotel and venue setups out of the box.
SleekView Kanban points at vikbooking_orders and renders one card per reservation. Cards group into four columns by status, and drag-and-drop updates the status column directly through the WordPress REST API endpoint that Vik Booking exposes for its own admin screens. The change is immediate, single source of truth, and respects existing role checks.
Card fronts show guest name, dates, and room or service. Filter the board by service, by room, or by arrival window, save filtered views as URLs, and pin different boards to the front desk and the housekeeping office. Status writes inherit the plugin's role mapping, so no extra permission setup is required for staff.

Comparison
Vik Booking admin list vs SleekView Kanban
Vik Booking orders list
- Default Vik Booking screen is a list of reservations with small status text in a sortable column
- Status changes require clicking into the reservation, picking a state, and saving the row
- No live count of reservations sitting in each state across upcoming arrivals and stays
- Bulk actions cover delete and trash but not status transitions across many reservations at once
- Filters do not persist across reloads, so front desk redoes the same scoping every morning
SleekView Kanban
-
Drag a card and the
statuscolumn invikbooking_ordersupdates in one move - Column counts double as a live occupancy gauge visible from across the front desk area
- Filter on room or service and save the result as its own URL for per-team kanban boards
- Cards surface guest, dates, and room together so triage takes one glance per row, not several
- Inherits Vik Booking role and capability mapping, no extra permission layer to maintain
Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for Vik Booking
Status columns mapped to Vik Booking states
SleekView reads every distinct value in the status column and surfaces them as kanban columns. Whether you use the four core states or have added a custom status through the Vik Booking developer hooks, the board renders them automatically and lets you choose which to display today.
Drag updates the reservation row
Every card move writes through the same REST endpoint that Vik Booking exposes for its own admin screens. There is no second data path, no sync layer, no risk of the kanban telling a different story than the orders list. One write, one source of truth, one consistent state.
Per-room or per-service saved boards
Add saved filters on room or on service term, then save each result as its own named board with its own URL. Pin one board per team so the front desk, housekeeping, and the manager office each see the slice of reservations that matters to their role during the day.
Audience
How venues use the Vik Booking kanban
Independent hotel front desk
Reception opens the board first thing, calls every pending reservation to confirm, and drags each one into confirmed as the call ends. Cards slide into checked-in as guests arrive. The team knows which guests are in the building and which are still en route without a second screen.
Housekeeping turn schedule
Housekeeping pins a board filtered to checked-in reservations sorted by room number. As they finish each room they drag the card into a custom turndown-complete column, which gives the manager a live view of how the cleaning schedule is progressing across all floors of the venue today.
Manager occupancy dashboard
The manager pins the full kanban to an office monitor and uses column counts as a live occupancy gauge. When confirmed grows faster than checked-in clears during peak season, they bring in extra staff or open more rooms before the queue at reception starts to build up.
The bigger picture
Why a kanban fits Vik Booking venues
Vik Booking is a comprehensive reservation engine that handles hotels, vacation rentals, and event venues with the same plugin core. The orders list table that ships with the plugin is built for record retrieval, which is the right shape for inspecting a single reservation but the wrong shape for running a busy shift. Reception staff need to triage pending requests, confirm upcoming stays, check guests in, and reconcile cancellations during a single day.
A list sorted by date does not show that flow. A kanban does. The pending column is the queue of requests that need a confirmation call.
The confirmed column is the arrivals coming over the next few days. The checked-in column is the guests in the building right now. The cancelled column is the capacity that has freed up.
Because SleekView writes directly to the same database column the plugin already uses, the kanban is not a parallel system. Every drag goes through the Vik Booking REST endpoint that powers the standard admin screens, so audit logs and capability checks behave the way they always did. Reception works the board, housekeeping works the board, and the manager reads column counts.
The kanban replaces the orders list as the screen that the whole venue team keeps open during a shift.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Vik Booking
Yes. SleekView reads from and writes to the vikbooking_orders table directly through the Vik Booking REST endpoint. Every card move updates the same status column the plugin uses for its own admin screens, so there is only one source of truth for every reservation in the system.
Yes. The board titles are display labels that SleekView stores separately from the actual status values. Rename pending to awaiting confirmation or checked-in to in residence, and the kanban uses your language while the underlying data continues to store the standard Vik Booking status values.
SleekView Kanban uses the same capability check that Vik Booking applies on its own edit screens. If a user can change a reservation through the plugin's admin, they can drag a card on the board. Users without edit rights see the board in read-only mode with drag handles hidden from view.
Yes. The card editor lets you pick any column from the vikbooking_orders table, including the room number, the rate plan, and the guest note field. A common layout shows guest and arrival date on the front, with room and rate on the second line and the note revealed on hover.
Yes. Reservations imported by the Vik Booking channel manager land in the same vikbooking_orders table that direct bookings use. The kanban renders them identically and lets you filter by source if you need separate boards for direct, OTA, and walk-in reservations across your front desk team.
Each reservation appears as a single card regardless of stay length, with the check-in and check-out dates surfaced in the card meta. If you need a per-night view, save a second board that groups by date instead of status. The same data feeds both views without any duplicate record creation.
Yes. SleekView reads every distinct value in the status column, so any custom status you have registered through the Vik Booking developer filters appears automatically as a new kanban column. Choose which columns to display on the active board and hide the rest without losing them from data.
The board uses optimistic updates with conflict detection. If two staff members drag the same card within the same second, SleekView resolves the conflict by accepting the first write and showing the second user a notice that the reservation has already moved. They can refresh and retry on the latest state.
