Aharo's reservation workflow can prepare for reservation-platform handoff while keeping staff approval as the initial operating model.

What Aharo should handle for OpenTable

The integration layer should stay behind the restaurant approval step so staff can catch unclear calls before anything reaches the kitchen or POS.

Capture party size, date, time, name, phone, and notes.

Route large parties or unclear booking requests to manager callback.

Keep restaurant approval before customer confirmation.

Plan reservation-platform handoff after voice flow validation.

Setup path

How the restaurant would connect this workflow

This is the practical onboarding sequence Aharo should use before enabling live order handoff.

Step 1

Configure reservation rules in Aharo setup.

Step 2

Review availability and large-party thresholds.

Step 3

Confirm or reject reservations from the dashboard.

Step 4

Add external reservation handoff after the call flow is stable.

Fallback

No restaurant should be blocked by POS access

If the POS is unavailable, partner-gated, or not ready, Aharo can still run the call-order workflow with approval, tablet alerts, and print-ready pickup tickets.

This fallback is important for Indian restaurant operators because many stores either use unsupported POS systems or cannot wait for certification before testing voice order intake. Aharo should let them start with manual Kitchen Mode, then move to POS push when the integration is ready.
