Setting up waitlist from your widget

In addition to manually adding guests to your waitlist, you can set up your widget to allow guests to add themselves to the waitlist when your restaurant is fully booked.

To do so, start by navigating from your Table Manager , go to Availability, then choose Waitlist

Online Waitlist

You will now need to create a "Waitlist Shift". In order to do so, you need to provide your table management system with a few pieces of information.

Waitlist Shift

Waitlist Name and Display Name: Assign a name to this waitlist shift.

Waitlist Shift Type: Choose whether the online waitlist is a one-time option or recurring. If recurring, select the days of the week this shift will be available.

Start and End Date: Define the date range for this waitlist.

First and Last Seating: Specify when guests can first add themselves to the waitlist and the latest time slot you will accept a waitlist entry.

Capacity: Indicate the maximum number of covers allowed on this waitlist.

Your waitlist shift will automatically appear on your widget for the dates and times you've set provided you do not have any online availability within 2 hours of the date and time your guest chose.
