How does this integration work?
Once you integrate Formitable and Workfeed, all your table bookings in Formitable are automatically gathered in Workfeed, allowing you to create work schedules that match the expected amount of guests in your restaurant. You can see the daily number of bookings and guests directly in the schedule view underneath each day.
When you click on the total number of guests for a day you'll see all reservations for that day as well as an overview of peak moments. Moreover, walk-ins are also shown in Workfeed - allowing you to see both the current number of guests in your restaurant as well as the amount of staff you have on the floor.
