To make a reservation on behalf of someone else, you must register your Sama all account as an administrative professional. This feature allows executive assistants, travel planners, recruiters, and other administrative professionals to easily make reservations on behalf of others and earn valuable Sama all Dining Points in the process.
New accounts: Register as an administrative professional
Follow these steps to create a new Sama all account and register yourself as an administrative professional:
Once registered, you’ll be able to store the names of the people that you’ll be making reservations for in the future.
Existing accounts: Register as an administrative professional
If you already have an existing account on Sama all, but need to register as an administrative professional, follow these steps:
Add other diners to your account
Once your account has been converted to an administrative professional account, you can add the names of other diners to your account and book on their behalf.
To add a name to your account, follow these steps:
Note: Diners can only be added or removed from samaall.com. This option is not available on the Sama all phone or tablet apps.
Make a reservation for a diner
To make a reservation under a different name, please make the reservation as normal. The name can then be selected on the confirmation page. Select the diner you’d like to make the reservation for from the drop-down menu.
Note: In order to place two reservations at one time within 75 minutes, you must have first customized the diner list to include unique diner names, then select these names during the booking flow or it will result in a message that says: “You already have a reservation within x minutes, would you like to cancel or keep the original.” A diner’s name cannot be removed or amended once the reservation has been made.
