Guestbook FAQ

How are guest profiles created?

Profiles are created automatically when a guest joins your waitlist or makes a reservation. Their phone number becomes their unique identifier. If they've visited before, the system matches them to their existing profile.

What information is tracked for each guest?

Each profile includes: name, phone number, email, complete visit history (dates, party sizes, tables, outcomes), VIP status, tags, notes, dietary restrictions/allergies, special dates (birthdays, anniversaries), and no-show count.

How do I look up a guest?

Search by phone number, name, or browse your full guest list. When adding a party to the waitlist or reservation, start typing their phone number and matching profiles appear automatically.

Can I mark guests as VIPs?

Yes. Toggle VIP status on any guest profile. VIP badges appear throughout the app—on the waitlist, reservations, and floor plan—so your team always knows when a VIP is in the house.

How do I track allergies and dietary restrictions?

Add allergy or dietary notes to any guest profile. These notes display prominently with a warning icon whenever that guest appears on your waitlist, reservation list, or when being seated.

Can I see a guest's no-show history?

Yes. Each profile shows total visits, no-shows, and cancellations. This helps you make informed decisions about accepting reservations from guests with a history of not showing up.

Can I add custom notes to a guest profile?

Yes. Add any notes you want—preferred tables, favorite drinks, special requests, or anything that helps personalize their experience. Notes are visible to your whole team.

Is the Guestbook included in all plans?

The Guestbook is included in the Professional ($69.99/month) and VIP ($99.99/month) plans. Basic plan users can upgrade anytime to access guest profile features.
