With the new Crqlar Version 3.7.0, we focused heavily on operational efficiency for restaurants and guest services — especially for teams working under pressure during busy service hours.
This release introduces smarter reservation handling, easier restaurant setup, improved no-show management, and several workflow improvements that reduce manual work across departments.
🏨 Faster Free Trial Experience
We simplified the “Start Free Trial” flow to make onboarding faster and easier.
The new experience:
- Requires fewer steps
- Focuses only on essential information
- Lets hotels access demo environments more quickly
🍽 Create New Restaurants in Seconds
Setting up a new restaurant area is now much faster.
Hotel teams can now:
- Create a new restaurant directly from the sidebar
- Upload a floorplan immediately
- Or skip the upload and manually create the layout later
This makes onboarding seasonal areas, terraces, breakfast rooms, or pop-up concepts significantly easier.
Why it matters
Instead of navigating through multiple setup steps, restaurant managers can now create and organize spaces in just a few clicks.
📋 Smarter Daily Restaurant Operations
The restaurant action center received a major upgrade focused on daily operational clarity.
New improvements include:
- Dedicated sections for:
- Prolonged stays
- Early departures
- Allergies
- Recommendations
- Easier management of recurring reservations
- Full guest list overview at the bottom
- Basic operational statistics
Why it matters
Restaurant teams now get the most important information immediately — reducing missed updates and helping staff react faster during service.
Especially for half-board operations, knowing instantly when guests extend or shorten their stay can save significant coordination effort.
💳 No-Show Protection via Email
One of the most requested features is back.
When a guest books by phone or at reception, staff can now:
- Create the reservation
- Send the guest an email with a secure payment link
- Collect the credit card before confirmation
Once the guest adds their card:
- The reservation is automatically confirmed
- The payment method is securely stored
- The guest receives a confirmation email
Why it matters
Hotels can now protect themselves more easily against costly no-shows while still keeping the booking experience simple and professional for guests.
👨👩👧 Automatic Guest Count for In-House Guests
When creating restaurant reservations for staying guests, Crqlar now automatically fills:
- Adults
- Children
- Age categories
based on the hotel reservation data.
Why it matters
This removes repetitive manual entry and saves hotel teams hundreds of clicks every day — especially during breakfast and dinner rush hours.
📈 Better Tracking for Self-Service Journeys
We added a new tracking data layer for self-service flows.
This enables improved analytics and performance tracking across guest booking experiences.
Why it matters
Hotels can better understand:
- Booking behavior
- Conversion performance
- Guest interaction patterns
This creates the foundation for smarter optimization and marketing decisions.
Why it matters
Potential customers can now experience Crqlar faster without unnecessary setup friction.
⚡ Performance Improvements
We also introduced backend and interface optimizations that improve responsiveness in larger setups and complex restaurant configurations.
Highlights
- Improved performance in agency exception handling
- Faster floorplan-related operations
- Cleaner collection management workflows
