Asking for deposits only on certain days

Plenty of venues only need deposits at the weekend. Rather than asking every guest all week, you can choose exactly which days a meal's card or deposit requirement applies — and you'll find it all in NomNom Web.

Where to find it

Open the meal you want to change and go to its payments section. Both requirements — taking a card to hold the booking, and taking a deposit — have their own Applies on row where you pick the days of the week.

In NomNom Web: open the account menu (top-right) → ConfigurationMeals → open a meal → its payments section.

On the mobile app: open Configuration → Meals, tap a meal, and use its Payments section.

How it works

When a guest books on your booking page on one of the selected days, the payment step appears as usual. On any other day, the same meal books without a payment step. With every day selected (the default), nothing changes from how deposits have always worked.

Because cards and deposits are configured separately, you can mix them — for example, a card to hold the booking midweek, but a real deposit on Friday and Saturday.

Good to know

  • The day check applies to online bookings on your booking page.
  • Changing the days doesn't affect bookings that have already been made — only new bookings follow the new rule.
  • Events run on a single date, so this setting lives on your regular meals. For a one-off occasion, set its payment rules in the event itself (account menu → ConfigurationEvents).
