reservation system
Advance booking software
A reservation system is an arrangement for booking resources in advance—hotel rooms, restaurant tables, airline seats, rental cars.
Modern reservation systems are typically computerized databases that track availability and confirm bookings in real time: The reservation system shows three rooms available for Saturday.
The term also refers to the software itself.
