Waitlist
The queue that does not lose the walk-in.
When the book is full, the door still takes names. A live waitlist with timers, party size and a suggested table, so the host seats the next party without a clipboard argument.

Waiting
On a busy night
How Host actually uses it.
01
The door takes the name
Party of four, no booking. They join the list. The clock starts. The host keeps working the room.
02
A table frees
T7 pays. The list offers Martínez, waiting 22 minutes, who fits. One tap seats them.
03
The night stays fair
Nobody is forgotten at the bar. The owner can see how long people waited, not just how many you turned away.
01
A timer, not a notebook
Each party starts a clock. The host sees who has waited, who is almost due, and who wandered off. Nobody gets skipped because the paper got wet.
02
The floor suggests the table
When a four-top pays, the waitlist already knows which waiting party fits. Seat them from the list; the plan updates.
03
Walk-ins stay in the system
They get a guest profile like a reservation. Next time they book, the room remembers they waited on a Tuesday and came back.
