Waitlist Management

Full tonight? That's a good problem. The waitlist makes sure you don't lose those guests.

Demo video coming soon

When you're fully booked, every potential guest is valuable. The Nine Tables waitlist captures interest, notifies guests when tables open up, and converts wait-listers into diners. Walk-ins get a spot in line. Cancellations become opportunities. No business left on the table.

Why you'll love it

Smart Queue

Guests join the waitlist through your widget or at the door. They see their position and estimated wait.

Automatic Notifications

Table opens up? We text the next guest instantly. They confirm or pass - either way, you fill the seat.

Cancellation Recovery

A cancellation triggers the waitlist automatically. That empty table gets offered before you even notice the gap.

Walk-in Management

Busy night with a line at the door? Add walk-ins to the waitlist and they can wait at the bar.

See it in action

Getting started takes just minutes. Here's how it works.

  • Enable waitlist in your booking widget settings
  • Fully booked times show 'Join Waitlist' instead of unavailable
  • When cancellations happen, waitlist guests get notified automatically
  • Guests confirm instantly, and the table is theirs
