If your customers request a reservation online, you can impose a deposit for guest counts over a certain number, e.g. $5 per person for reservations of 15 people and more.
This deposit will be taken as soon as a customer places the request for their reservation.
Set up deposits
Go to Reservations > Reservation Configuration
Scroll down to Deposit (or go to Settings)
Enter the Minimum Guest To Charge Deposit.
Enter the required Deposit per Guest. Alternatively, you could fill in a Deposit per Reservation if you want the deposit amount to be the same regardless of the number of guests.
Click Save.
When placing a reservation online, your customer will be prompted to enter their card details for any reservation that requires a deposit.
