    Before I buy the premium plugin, I have 4 questions. Please answer according to their number:

    1. Can the plugin be used to create restaurant reservations? Specifically, can people book a restaurant table and specify the number of seats they want?
    2. Can it be used to book restaurant events? The restaurant offers event party space rental, so users need to select the date and specify the number of people for their party.
    3. Why is there no option on the frontend for people to search and cancel their existing appointments like other booking plugins?
    4. I see the plugin supports email notifications and reminders. Can the plugin support phone notifications and phone reminders? This plugin (https://wp-sms-pro.com/product/wp-sms-booking-integrations/) lists your plugin and says both can be integrated to send SMS texts. Have any of your clients tried it before?

    Hello.
    Firstly please note, this forum is only about the support of Booking Calendar Free version. If you will have any questions about the paid version, then contact here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/contact/

    Please check answers to your questions bellow:

    1. Relative restaurant reservations.
      You can define different booking form fields at the WP Booking Calendar > Settings > Booking Form page. You can have there number of visitors for the booking, as well.
      1.1. Probably you need to make the bookings for specific time. Bookings for specific time-slots possible even in the Booking Calendar Free version. Such bookings for specific times are limited to specific restricted time slots, which you can define at the Settings > Booking Form page. When a booking is made for a specific time slot, that slot becomes unavailable for other visitors on the selected date in the current calendar.

      1.2. But in case if you need to have only one calendar and at this calendar show as available specific date(s) or times until number of bookings reached the maximum capacity of your restaurant ( It can be number of tables), then you need to check the Booking Calendar Business Large version. In the Booking Calendar Business Large version, you can set capacities for your booking resources either for the entire day or for specific times within a day. This means you can control the number of bookings allowed for each day or for specific time slots. Learn more about this feature https://wpbookingcalendar.com/overview/#capacity
      For example, you could specify that your booking resource can accommodate up to 10 bookings per day in a specific calendar. Alternatively, if you use time fields in the booking form, each time slot can accommodate up to 10 bookings per day. This flexibility allows you to manage bookings effectively, whether they are for full days or specific times. Explore this feature in the live demo https://bl.wpbookingcalendar.com/
      For detailed instructions on configuring capacity and availability for booking resources and to watch a video about this feature, refer to this article https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/capacity-concept/
    2. Please check point #1.2 where explained about the capacity for the calendar and number of bookings.
    3. Users who made the bookings at your website, received the email notification about the booking and in the content of such emails can be “secret” links for editing own booking or cancel own bookings. Such feature available in all paid versions. Please check this FAQ instruction how to configure ability to edit or cancel own booking(s) of visitor, who made these booking(s) or support sending of payment requests: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/configure-editing-cancel-payment-bookings-for-visitors/
    4. Unfortunately, Booking Calendar does not support phone notifications and phone reminders, yet. Sorry. I was not try to use the WP SMS. You need to check with support of this WP SMS, is they fully support the WP Booking Calendar ( https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/ ). Please check what support we are providing here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/what-support-do-you-provide/

      Also please note, email reminders supported via our other plugin – “Email Reminders”, which have native integration with latest versions of Booking Calendar plugin. Please check more here https://oplugins.com/plugins/email-reminders/
      But currently we do not provide support or help with configuration with
      “Email Reminders” plugin. Thank you for understanding.

    Kind Regards.
