Reservations, made simple

Overview

Take table bookings straight from your site with a booking form that drops into any page, post, or builder — no redirects to a third-party platform.

What you can do
Good to know

The form adapts to your site’s own fonts and colors by default, with dedicated style controls if you want more. Booking rules live under LimaBook > Settings.

Tables, areas & occasions

Overview

Organize your floor the way you actually run it — by area, by table, and by the occasions your venue hosts.

What you can do
Good to know

Auto-assignment always checks area preference first, then finds the right table size within it. Manage these under LimaBook > Tables, Areas, and Occasions.

A dashboard built for the working week

Overview

See what’s coming up at a glance — bookings, trends, and the reservations that need attention today.

What you can do
Good to know

A history view keeps completed and past bookings out of your active list without deleting anything. Find these under LimaBook > Dashboard, Reservations, and History.

Customer records that stay useful

Overview

Every guest who’s booked with you, kept in one searchable place.

What you can do
Good to know

Customers are tracked individually, even when a shared email covers multiple guests. Find this under LimaBook > Customers.

Emails that go out without you thinking about it

Overview

Confirmations, reminders, and staff alerts, handled automatically once you set them up.

What you can do
Good to know

Reminders and staff notifications are configured separately, so you can tune each to how your team actually works. Find these under LimaBook > Communications.

Closures & calendar sync

Overview

Block out the dates you’re not taking bookings, and keep your reservation calendar visible wherever you already look at it.

What you can do
Good to know

Closed dates simply stop appearing as bookable — no manual form editing required. Find these under LimaBook > Calendar and LimaBook > Closures.

Reports & exporting your data

Overview

Your reservation and customer data, ready to leave the admin screen whenever you need it elsewhere.

What you can do
Good to know

Exports respect whatever filters or date range you’re currently viewing. Full-site export/import lives under LimaBook > Diagnostics.

Make it look like your site, not a plugin

Overview

Style controls that adjust the booking form’s colors, layout, and shape to match your venue’s own branding.

What you can do
Good to know

The form is built to inherit your theme’s fonts and general feel by default — the presets are a shortcut, not a requirement. Find these under LimaBook > Styles.
