🍽️ How to Manage Restaurant Bookings from Your Phone or Tablet Using the Five Star Restaurant Manager App

Managing restaurant reservations is one of the most time-sensitive parts of running a busy service. This week, we are highlighting an update that makes this even easier: the newest enhancements to the Five Star Restaurant Manager mobile app, now featuring colour-coded booking statuses for instant clarity at a glance.

If you use our Restaurant Reservations Ultimate plugin, the mobile app allows you to manage all of your bookings directly from your phone or tablet. The goal is simple: give restaurant owners and managers a faster, more efficient way to keep on top of every upcoming service.

What’s New: Colour-Coded Statuses

The latest update introduces a fully colour-coded reservation list. Each booking now displays its status visually, helping you identify new, confirmed, cancelled, or seated reservations. This saves time during busy rushes and reduces the chances of mistakes when several bookings are coming in at once.

This new design also improves staff visibility. Whether you are managing reservations yourself or your team is handling them during service, it is now easier to stay aligned and make sure every table is accounted for.

Who Can Use the Mobile App

Access to the Five Star Restaurant Manager mobile app is included in the Restaurant Reservations Ultimate plan.
