📌 Step-by-Step: Managing Pre-Orders or Reservations with Jugl

Step 1: Create a Pre-Order or Reservation Form

📍 Access the Forms Section

  • Go to Forms and click “New Form +”.

📝 Customize the Form

  • Add a title and description to clarify its purpose.

    • Example Title: "Pre-Order Request Form" or "Table Reservation Form."

    • Example Description: "Reserve your spot or product by completing this form."

📋 Include Key Fields

  • Short Text: Collect names or booking references.

  • Date Selector: Let clients pick a preferred reservation or delivery date.

  • Dropdown/Multi-Choice: Allow selection of services, products, or time slots.

  • Paragraph (Long Text): Capture special requests (e.g., Allergies or Preferred Seating).

💡 Example: A restaurant’s reservation form might include:

Date: “Select your reservation date.”

Time: “Choose your preferred time.”

Special Requests: “List any dietary restrictions or seating preferences.”


Step 2: Automate Task Creation for Pre-Orders or Reservations

Set Up Task Details

  • Define task parameters under "Set Task Details":

    • Task Title: Example: "Reservation for [Client Name] on [Date]."

    • Description: Auto-populate notes from the form submission.

    • Board Assignment: Assign to "Upcoming Reservations" or "Pre-Orders."

    • Priority Level: Mark urgent bookings or VIP clients as High Priority.

🗂 Break Bookings into Actionable Steps

  • Add subtasks like:

    • “Confirm Client Reservation”

    • “Prepare Materials or Items”

    • “Complete Reservation or Delivery”

💡 Why It Helps: Ensures that every booking and pre-order is tracked without missing details.


Step 3: Track Progress Using Views

📊 Organize Boards by Workflow Stages

  • Structure Kanban boards with columns such as:

    • For Reservations: “New,” “Confirmed,” “Completed.”

    • For Pre-Orders: “Ordered,” “Processing,” “Shipped.”

🔍 Filter Tasks for Quick Insights

  • Sort reservations by client name, date, or urgency.

Update Task Statuses as Bookings Progress

  • Move tasks across columns as orders and reservations advance.

💡 Pro Tip: Use color-coded labels for categories like “Pre-Orders” or “VIP Reservations.”


Step 4: Automate Notifications and Reminders

📢 Enable Automated Notifications

  • Automatically confirm bookings via message:

    • “Hi [Client Name], your reservation for [Date] at [Time] is confirmed. We look forward to seeing you!”

📅 Send Booking Reminders

  • Example:

    • “Friendly reminder: Your reservation is on [Date] at [Time]. Let us know if you have questions!”

🚚 Notify Clients About Pre-Order Updates

  • Example:

    • “Your pre-order has been shipped! Track your delivery here: [Tracking Link].”


Step 5: Manage Changes or Cancellations

🔄 Modify or Cancel Bookings

  • Update task details for schedule or order changes.

    • Example: Change “Table for 2” to “Table for 4” or adjust a pre-order delivery date.

📢 Notify Clients of Updates

  • Example:

    • “Hi [Client Name], your reservation has been updated to [New Date & Time]. Contact us if needed.”

💡 Why It Helps: Keeps clients informed and prevents miscommunications.
