What is POS Restaurant Table Reservation?

Online and in-house table booking that flags reserved tables on the POS floor plan and prevents double-booking — built for your restaurant. Built to order by ECOSIRE for Odoo 17, 18, 19 — indicative price from $999.00 USD; request a quote for a scoped proposal.

Key Features

New `restaurant.table.reservation` model linking native `restaurant.table` and `restaurant.floor` records to customer, party size, time slot, deposit and special-request fields
Server-side double-booking prevention via a SQL exclusion constraint plus an `@api.constrains` overlap check on start/end windows — enforced at the ORM layer, not just the UI
`@api.depends` computed status field (free / held / seated / no-show) that keeps website, back office and POS in sync from a single source of truth
OWL/JavaScript patch to the POS floor-plan screen that colours and badges reserved tables for the current service window, with party size and booking time on hover
Public online reservation page (Website + QWeb controller) that generates bookable time slots from your opening hours, turn-time and capacity rules
Party-size, deposit and free-text special-request capture (allergies, high chair, celebration, seating preference) on both the online and back-office forms
Optional deposit collection through your existing Odoo payment providers, with the paid amount recorded on the reservation and reconciled against the eventual POS order
Automated email + SMS confirmations and reminders driven by Odoo automated actions and `ir.cron` scheduled jobs, using your own SMS gateway credentials
Explicit walk-in vs reserved handling: seat walk-ins on truly free tables and warn hosts before occupying a table held for an imminent booking
No-show and cancellation workflow with status transitions, timestamps and optional deposit-forfeit logic, plus an audit trail via Odoo chatter
Manager dashboard and list/calendar/gantt-style views of upcoming reservations, filterable by floor, service period, status and party size
Role-based access via `ir.model.access.csv` groups and record rules (host, manager, online customer) so each user sees only permitted bookings
QWeb-printable reservation sheet / daily booking manifest for the host stand and the kitchen pass
Full XML-RPC / JSON-RPC exposure of the reservation model so bookings can be read or created by external channels and reporting tools
Configurable turn-time, buffer and maximum-covers-per-slot settings so availability matches how your dining room actually runs

About this Product

POS Restaurant Table Reservation is a build-to-order Odoo module that ECOSIRE designs, develops, installs and supports for your full-service restaurant — it is not an off-the-shelf apps.odoo.com download, and there is no instant download. We build the module against your exact floor plan, service periods and confirmation channels, then deploy it on your Odoo 17, 18 or 19 instance (Community or Enterprise) with a typical one working week lead time.

At its core the module introduces a new restaurant.table.reservation model that links Odoo's native restaurant.table and restaurant.floor records to a booking record capturing customer, party size, requested time slot, deposit and special requests. Availability is enforced server-side: an SQL constraint plus a @api.constrains check on overlapping start/end windows makes double-booking impossible at the ORM layer, not just in the UI. A @api.depends-driven compute field derives each table's live status (free, held, seated, no-show) so the same truth is shared by the website, the back office and the POS.

On the POS side, a small OWL/JavaScript patch to the floor-plan screen colours and badges every table that has an active reservation for the current service window, showing party size and booking time on hover so your host can seat guests without flipping to another screen. Walk-ins are handled explicitly: staff can seat a walk-in on any genuinely free table, and the module warns before seating a table that is held for an imminent reservation.

The public booking page is delivered as a Website/QWeb controller that exposes bookable time slots based on your opening hours, turn-time and capacity rules — customers pick a slot, enter party size and requests, optionally pay a deposit through your existing Odoo payment providers, and receive an automated confirmation. Odoo automated actions and scheduled ir.cron jobs send email and (via your SMS gateway) text confirmations and reminders, and flag no-shows. Everything is secured properly with ir.model.access.csv groups and record rules so hosts, managers and online customers each see only what they should, and the whole booking dataset is queryable through Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API for any downstream reporting or integration you need.

What you get

  • Complete, installable Odoo module (custom addon with `__manifest__.py`, models, views, security, controllers and data files) targeting your Odoo 17, 18 or 19 version and Community/Enterprise edition
  • Deployment and installation on your instance (or a staging copy first), including POS floor-plan integration and website booking page wiring
  • Configuration of your floors, tables, service periods, turn-times, deposit rules and confirmation templates to match your restaurant's real operation
  • Connection of email and your chosen SMS gateway for confirmations and reminders, tested end-to-end with sample bookings
  • Written admin and staff documentation covering how to take, edit, seat and cancel reservations, plus how walk-ins interact with holds
  • A live training session for hosts and managers (recording provided) so your team is confident before go-live
  • Post-launch support window (bug fixes and adjustments) with the exact duration agreed in your quote
  • Source code handover with clear licensing so the module is yours to keep and extend

Who this is for

Full-service restaurant owner / general manager

Runs a dining room where covers, turn-times and no-shows directly drive revenue. Wants online and phone bookings, deposits on peak nights and a clear view of the floor without adding a separate reservations subscription on top of Odoo.

Front-of-house host / maître d'

Works the host stand during service and needs to see at a glance which tables are reserved, held or free right on the POS floor plan — seating walk-ins confidently without accidentally giving away a table booked for 8pm.

Restaurant group operations lead

Oversees several venues on one Odoo instance and needs consistent reservation rules, role-based access per location and booking data available via API for group-level reporting and forecasting.

Frequently Asked Questions about POS Restaurant Table Reservation

Is this an instant download from the Odoo App Store?

No. This is a build-to-order module. ECOSIRE develops it against your specific floor plan, service periods and confirmation channels, then installs and configures it on your Odoo instance. There is no instant download — you receive a working, deployed module and its source code.

How long does delivery take, and what is the lead time?

Typical lead time is one working week from a confirmed scope, depending on how many floors and service rules you have and whether deposits and SMS are in play. We agree a scope, build on a staging copy, review it with you, then deploy to production and train your team. Rush timelines can sometimes be accommodated — ask when you request a quote.

What support and updates do I get after launch?

Every build includes a post-launch support window (its exact length is stated in your quote) covering bug fixes and reasonable adjustments. Because the module is delivered as source code you own, you can maintain or extend it freely afterwards. We also offer ongoing support and version-upgrade retainers if you'd like ECOSIRE to keep it current as you move between Odoo 17, 18 and 19.

Which Odoo versions and editions does it work with?

We build for Odoo 17, 18 or 19, on either Community or Enterprise. The reservation logic and website booking page work on Community; the POS floor-plan integration uses Odoo's Point of Sale app. We confirm your version and edition during scoping and target the module precisely to it.

Can it really stop double-booking?

Yes. Availability is enforced on the server, not just in the browser. We add a database-level constraint plus an `@api.constrains` overlap check on each table's start/end windows, so two overlapping reservations for the same table are rejected at the ORM layer regardless of whether they come from the website, the back office or the API.

Does it handle walk-ins and deposits?

Both. Hosts can seat walk-ins on any genuinely free table and get a warning before occupying a table held for an imminent reservation. For deposits, customers can pay online through your existing Odoo payment providers when they book, and the paid amount is recorded on the reservation and reconciled against the final POS order.
