# Welcome to OctoTable's API documentation

Welcome to the OctoTable API documentation! Here, you'll find an overview of the powerful features OctoTable offers to help you integrate seamlessly with our Restaurant Reservation System.

A restaurant reservation system lets customers easily book tables online, streamlining the process for both guests and the restaurant. With OctoTable, you can choose to use either our booking engine or integrate with the Reserve With Google booking engine to manage reservations. It automates the process of scheduling, confirming, and organizing reservations for restaurants. 

**⚠️ NOTE**\
On Gitbook, you will find a manual that explains how to use the OctoTable APIs effectively. For the complete and detailed documentation, please refer to our Postman collection.

{% hint style="warning" %}
OctoTable API is currently in PREVIEW, we reserve to change it in future.
