+## Manual Reservations In Admin
+
+Staff can also create a reservation manually from Django admin for a specific performance.
+
+This operational flow should still follow the same backend rules as the public booking flow:
+
+1. staff selects the performance and enters guest contact details and party size;
+2. the backend validates booking availability and capacity;
+3. the backend creates a `pending` reservation;
+4. the backend creates the normal confirmation token;
+5. the backend sends the standard confirmation email;
+6. the guest still confirms through the email link before the reservation becomes confirmed and usable for check-in.
