Welcome to Groupon Reservations. This is a general introduction on how to use Groupon Reservations. In this interface you can handle both your availability and reservation slots.
You may also directly go to the area you want more information on:

You can view your calendar by week or month by using this toggle switch.
To modify/create an availability first pick a start and end time, then select the deal this availability applies to. Next pick the number of participants as well as the Groupon participants. Lastly select the days this deal will be available for.
When a slot contains bookings, a green bar will appear for instant recognition. This bar will turn orange when the maximum number of Groupon slots has been reached. Increasing the number of Groupon slots will turn the bar back to green.
