One sheet for tonight so notes survive the shift.
A one-page sheet for a single service: time slots, covers, table vs party vs event, allergen and notes, deposit for private dining. Use it on Friday. If a note still dies between shifts, the diary is the problem, not the host.
- Time, covers, table / party / event, guest, notes, deposit
- Cover count and walk-ins vs booked
- Print it for Friday. Saturday belongs in one diary
What the host stand actually needs
Time, covers, guest name, and the note that matters. Double bookings, missed notes, and unclear cover counts are the diary chaos. A restaurant booking diary is that view live — this sheet is the paper version for one service.
Parties are not a sticky note
A 10-cover party is not a table. A 30-cover event is not a party. Private dining and party bookings belong in the same diary with a capacity and a deposit status.
