How to Adjust Length of Reservation

If you need to shorten or increase the time length of a reservation, use this guide!

Updated over a month ago

Need to extend or shorten a reservation after it’s been booked? You can easily adjust the reservation length directly from the reservation page.


Step 1: Locate the Reservation

Navigate to Reservations and find the booking you’d like to update.

You can search by. Click the reservation to open the full details.


Step 2: Click Adjust Length

Inside the reservation, click the Adjust Length button at the bottom of the screen.

This will allow you to:

  • Extend the reservation

  • Shorten the reservation


Step 3: Select the New Length

Choose the updated duration, then click Save.

Birrdi will update the reservation time accordingly.


⚠️ Important: Payment Is NOT Automatically Adjusted

When adjusting a reservation’s length:

  • Birrdi does NOT automatically charge the customer for additional time

  • Birrdi does NOT automatically issue refunds for shortened reservations

This action only updates the reservation time — it does not modify the original payment.

You are responsible for handling any payment differences:

If Extending a Reservation

Collect the additional payment directly at your Square POS on-site.

If Shortening a Reservation

Issue any refund manually through your Square Dashboard or Birrdi.


Why This Works This Way

Adjustments are often made in real-time while the customer is on-site. Payment handling is intentionally kept manual to allow operators full control over:

  • On-site disputes

  • Partial adjustments

  • Waived time

  • Staff discretion


That’s it! Once saved, the reservation time is updated and reflected in your calendar immediately.
