The waiting list

When a day is full, customers can leave their name instead of leaving. A cancellation tells the first person in line — which turns a gap you would have eaten into a booking.

In the panel: Waiting list

The Waiting list screen showing customers waiting for particular days.
Waiting list
  1. 01

    Switch it on

    Booking rules → Booking page. Customers then see the option on any day with nothing free, and choose the day they want rather than a specific time.

  2. 02

    What happens on a cancellation

    The earliest person waiting for that day is notified with a link straight back to it. They get a window of first refusal; after that their turn passes to the next person rather than being offered again.

  3. 03

    Nothing is held

    A waiting-list place is not a reservation — claiming it means booking it, first come first served. Holding the slot would out-rank the customers already booking normally, which is not a trade worth making.
