If you are working with dining reservations in your restaurants and allocate reservations to dining tables, you can use attributes to let the customers select what kind of dining table they want when they make a reservation. This includes characteristics such as window tables, quiet tables, tables accessible for the disabled, and so on. When you allocate a dining table to the reservation, the available dining tables are filtered according to the dining table attribute values selected.

The dining tables are set up per dining area.

Note: It may be enough to create only one dining table attribute that includes the necessary options that are applicable to all your dining areas. If any of the options do not apply to all dining areas, it is better to create separate attributes with the correct option values and select the appropriate attribute for each dining area.
