Tasks:

  1. Review the existing reservation data model and database schema to identify potential overlaps or conflicts.
  2. Analyze the business rules and constraints for handling reservation overlaps or conflicts.
  3. Design and implement validation logic to detect and handle reservation overlaps or conflicts during the booking process.
  4. Implement algorithms or rules to determine how to handle different types of overlaps or conflicts (e.g., overlapping time slots, conflicting table assignments).
  5. Provide informative error messages or feedback to the user when a reservation overlap or conflict is detected.
  6. Implement mechanisms to suggest alternative time slots or tables to the user in case of conflicts.
  7. Update the reservation status or availability information in the database to reflect the outcome of handling the overlap or conflict.
  8. Implement conflict resolution logic to determine which reservation takes priority in case of conflicts (e.g., based on reservation time, party size, reservation source).
  9. Test the reservation overlap or conflict handling functionality with different scenarios to ensure proper detection and resolution of conflicts.
  10. Consider implementing notifications or alerts for restaurant staff or administrators when reservation overlaps or conflicts occur.
  11. Monitor and log any instances where reservation overlaps or conflicts are handled for further analysis and improvement.
  12. Continuously review and improve the reservation overlap or conflict handling mechanisms based on user feedback and system performance.
