Use the Host App calendar

The Calendar is the Host App's home screen. It shows every reservation and block for one venue and one day. Each resource (lane, bay, court or table) has its own row down the left, grouped by resource type, and the day's hours run across the top.

Get around with the dock

The dock at the bottom of the screen takes you to every page. It hides while a reservation or the Create screen is open.

Help under More opens a sheet with two tabs: Help links to the most-used help articles, and Legend explains the colors and icons on reservation cards.

Pick the venue, day and resources

1

Select your venue

Tap the location picker in the top-left corner and choose a venue. It lists every venue your account can access.

2

Set the day

Use the arrows on either side of the date to go back or forward one day, or tap the date to pick from a two-month calendar. Today jumps back to the current day.

3

Filter the resource types

Tap All resources in the top-right corner and untick any resource type you don't want to see. The button then shows how many types are on, for example 2 of 3.

The other controls in the top bar:

In the bottom-right corner, the arrow buttons scroll the day an hour earlier or later, and Zoom out and Zoom in make each resource row shorter or taller. On a tablet-sized screen only the zoom buttons appear. To set a zoom level that sticks, see Set your Host App preferences.

Create from an empty slot

1

Tap an empty slot

Tap a free slot on a resource's row to start there. To cover a longer time or several resources, drag across the slots instead. On a touchscreen, press and hold first, then drag, so a normal swipe still scrolls. A selection stays within one resource type.

2

Select what to create

A menu opens showing the time and resources you picked. Choose one of the options described below. A slot that has already passed shows a message instead, because you can't create in the past.

If your venue has Quick Book presets, each one also appears in the menu under its own name. Tapping a preset books the selected slot in one go with that preset's package and guest details. Presets and Quick Block are set up in the admin dashboard on the venue's Host tab; see Configure host settings for a venue. For more on blocks, see Block time in the Host App.

Open a reservation

Tap a reservation card to open it. The card shows the guest and their phone number, the package, Time, Duration, Guests, Resource and any balance due. From here, Check in checks the party in, Actions lists everything else you can do to the reservation, and View details opens it on the Check In page. See Check in guests and Modify or reschedule a reservation.

Change a resource's status

Resource status used to live on the Floor page. It is now set from the calendar.

1

Tap the resource's name

In the left column, tap the name of the resource you want to change, for example L1. Its status menu opens.

2

Select a status

The current status has a check mark. Your choice applies straight away.

Under the statuses, Bussing is a switch that marks the resource as being cleared or reset between groups. It doesn't change the status. Create opens the Create screen with this resource already selected.
