Example

Complete procedure to reserve a place without online payment.

Goal: Hold a table/room, save it to Today, and notify — skip PayNow.

Typical step order

1. PersonCountInput
2. Time step
3. ManualSelectPlanElements (or auto)
4. PreReserveSelectedElements — still useful so the place stays held through contact
5. RequireInput contact
6. SyncReservationEntry (order/invoice sync optional)
7. InformGuestViaEmail → InformOperator

Contrast: booking-classic-occupancy inserts PayNow before sync.
