Print the day sheet

Print the day turns the day's reservations into a printable briefing: an overview page, the guest list and the waitlist. You choose what goes on the sheet and see a preview before printing.

Where to find it

Host App › Service View › List view › printer icon (Print the day) in the header. On smaller screens it is in the More actions (…) menu.

What it does

The Print the day window has three parts: what to print, the sheet options, and a live Preview.

• Start from a preset:
  • Host stand – guest list by shift, with tables, phones and notes.
  • Kitchen briefing – overview only: allergies, pacing and large parties.
  • Full briefing – every page and column, for the pre-service briefing.
  • Table copy – guest list without phones or notes.
• What to print: Overview page, Guest list, Waitlist (skipped automatically when nobody is waiting).
• On the overview page: blocks such as Headline numbers, Shift by shift, Arrivals chart, Allergies, Guest requests, Guests worth greeting, Large parties, Before doors open, Week ahead, Booking channels.
• Guest list columns (time, guest, covers, table, channel, booked by, phone, visits, status, allergies/notes, internal notes) and Waitlist columns.
• Group the guest list by shift, by time slot, or as one flat list.
• What goes on the sheet: Cancelled bookings (keeps the audit trail), Walk-ins (anything seated without a booking), Hide phone numbers (safe to leave a sheet on a table).
• Which shift: all shifts or one shift.
• Paper: A4 landscape or A4 portrait.

Good to know

• Your choices are remembered on this device. Reset to defaults restores the standard setup.
• "Before doors open" lists things to sort out first, for example reservations that still have no table, large unconfirmed parties, and parties on the waitlist.
• The sheet prints exactly what the day contains at the moment you print; reprint if bookings change.

Troubleshooting

The print button is not in the header It only appears in the List view. Switch to List first.

"Nothing to print" Every page is switched off. Turn on at least the Overview page or the Guest list.

The waitlist page is missing Nobody is waiting for that day, so the page is skipped ("Nobody is waiting today, so the waitlist page is skipped.").

The Print button is greyed out The preview is empty because nothing is selected. Turn on a page under What to print.
