What you need to know

You can create different print templates for various use cases (for example, one list for the kitchen, another for reception, etc.). Each template can be customized: displayed information, column sizes, and more. The print list is available in PDF or CSV format. Customizing print templates is not included in all subscription plans.


1. Set up print templates from the web application

Customize print templates

From the Print templates tab, you can edit, duplicate, preview, or delete a template.
  • Go to Settings > Service & Reservations > Reservation list > Print templates
  • Click New template or select an existing one to edit.
  • Give your template a name and choose the document type (PDF or CSV for new templates).
  • Customize the content: select the format and statuses you want to print.
  • Choose the fields to add to your template. Fields on the right column will appear on your print template.
  • Adjust column widths if needed.
  • Click Save.

Common cases
