This article contains a comprehensive list of the various terms and concepts used in Reservations and its APIs.

## Reservation location conflict
A reservation location conflict is an attempt to make a reservation that doesn’t comply with the restaurant’s party pacing or seat pacing rules.

## Reservee
A reservee is the person a reservation is made for. Not to be confused with the person making the reservation, although they may be the same.

## Seat
A seat is a chair or place for one person in a restaurant.

## Seat pacing
Seat pacing is the maximum number of seats that can be filled by new reservations within a 15-minute period.

## Source
The source of a reservation is how the reservation was made. For example, if it was booked online, in person, through an app, and so on.

## [Status](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/restaurants/reservations/reservations/the-reservation-lifecycle.md)
The status of a reservation represents its position in the reservation lifecycle. For example, RESERVED, CANCELED, or FINISHED.

## [Time slot](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/restaurants/reservations/time-slots/introduction.md)
A time slot is a period of time in a restaurant’s calendar.

## Scheduled time slot
Scheduled time slots are time slots within a restaurant's opening hours as defined in the reservation location's `businessSchedule`. For more information, see [Get Scheduled Time Slots](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/restaurants/wix-restaurants-new/reservations/time-slots/get-scheduled-time-slots.md).

## Turnover time
Turnover time is how much time a party needs for an entire reservation - from being seated to leaving the restaurant.

## Experience
Experiences are unique dining offerings that override standard reservation location settings with their own custom rules for pricing, scheduling, approval, and booking forms.
