# 🏷️ Reservation Statuses

The Reservation Statuses feature allows you to define and manage the lifecycle stages of any room booking. These statuses help you track the flow of reservations and categorize them based on their current state. They can be used for filtering, automation, reporting, and better operational clarity.\

#### 📌 Default Statuses 

Here are the system’s preloaded reservation statuses:

| Status        | Description                                        |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Not Confirmed | The reservation is pending approval or incomplete. |
| Confirmed     | The reservation is verified and scheduled.         |
| Reserved      | The guest room is currently reserved and in use.   |
| Cancelled     | The booking has been cancelled. No action needed.  |

These default statuses are commonly used for day-to-day room management.

#### 🛠️ Status Management Tips
