Double-booked tables and angry walk-ins: Fix for Restaurant Operators (2026)

Notebook reservations, OpenTable, and walk-ins collide — hosts comp meals and turn away paying guests.

What is the problem?

Notebook reservations, OpenTable, and walk-ins collide — hosts comp meals and turn away paying guests.

How TablioQR solves it

One host queue per branch: pending → confirmed → seated → completed, with walk-ins added in one tap.

  • Online booking from your Discover listing — no guest app.
  • SMS-verified requests and email confirmations.
  • Host queue: pending → confirmed → seated → completed.
  • Seat → open table order → POS ticket.

What to do this week

Enable reservations on one branch, set party size and booking windows, and tell hosts to use the dashboard queue instead of the phone for new bookings.
