Deposits are help on the guests credit card and sent back to the guest after they arrive at the restaurants. If they no-show then their card is charged the deposit amount. **Take deposits or pre-sell by packages and seating preference** Don't limit yourself to just deposits on all reservations. **Set up pre-payments by areas** of the restaurant, packages like brunch, fixed menus or events **or you can even sell addons for events and special occasions. ** **Example**: Its valentines day, and you need to take deposits for your different seating areas, as well as upsell flowers.
