How TablioQR solves it
Walk-ins join the same host queue as online bookings — confirm, seat, and track status digitally.
- 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.
