Special requests lost between phone and kitchen: Fix for Restaurant Operators (2026)

Birthday, allergy, or high-chair notes live on a sticky note that never reaches the server.

What is the problem?

Birthday, allergy, or high-chair notes live on a sticky note that never reaches the server.

How TablioQR solves it

Guests enter notes at booking; hosts see them in the reservation detail before seating.

  • 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.
