House rules
The software enforces these automatically — the same for every guest.
Auto-notify at positionWhen a party reaches this spot in line, they get a "start heading over" push automatically. 0 = manual only.
Arrival window after notifyMinutes a notified party has to arrive before their spot is given up. 30–45 works for most.
Table-ready claim windowMinutes to claim once their table is actually open. 5–10 recommended — the heads-up already got them moving.
Remote joinsLet diners join your line from the app. Off = walk-ins only.
Quote bufferAdds a few minutes to every wait you quote, so guests are seated early rather than late. Off = quote exactly what the tables say.
Buffer minutes5 is a good start.
Max party size (app)Bigger parties are asked to call. Host-added walk-ins can be any size.
Lock line before closeMinutes before closing when app joins stop. Parties already in line still get seated.
Grace extensionLets hosts add 5 minutes for a party that called ahead.
Server rotationSeat servers in turn. The host board shows who's next and suggests a table in their section. Set servers and sections with 👥 Servers on the queue board.
Confirm no-shows yourselfOff: a party whose time runs out is skipped automatically. On: they stay in line marked “No-show?” until a host decides.
Changes also save on their own as you edit.
