Take deposits when the booking needs one
Ask for a deposit as part of the reservation flow for the tables or services where you need more commitment before the guest arrives.
Deposits and payment protection
Protect your busiest tables before service starts.
Basil keeps deposits and reservation details in the same operational flow, so you can protect selected bookings without asking the team to reconcile a separate payment process.
Apply for early accessUse pre-authorisation for added protection
Basil Payments supports pre-authorisations alongside deposits, giving you another way to handle the payment step for selected reservations.
Keep the follow-up work together
Handle refunds and split payments in the same payments area, and offer gift cards without losing the booking context.
