Questions operators ask
Clear answers before you choose reservation software.
Is a deposit the same as a minimum spend?
No. A deposit is money collected against the booking. Minimum spend is a commitment to spend at least a stated amount under disclosed terms.
Can deposits apply only to large groups?
Yes. Use conditions such as party size, date, service or selected inventory.
Are payment-processing fees included?
Payment-provider fees depend on the provider, country and contract and are separate from UpSalt’s booking model.
