Guests & waitlist

Put guest memory inside the service flow.

Phone-first profiles bring visit history, preferences, allergies, occasions, notes, messaging, waitlist activity, and duplicates into one usable record.

What changes

Recognition works when the context appears before staff have to ask for it.

Hostbook places guest memory next to reservations and tables, so the profile supports the welcome instead of becoming another database to maintain.

See the relationship, not just the next booking

Visits, cancellations, no-shows, tables, party sizes, and internal notes stay connected to the guest.

Remember who is celebrating

Store named birthdays and anniversaries on the guest profile, then auto-fill the occasion when they book on that date again.

Run walk-ins and waitlist from the same room

Quote waits, send table-ready messages, seat from the list, or place a walk-in directly on a table.

Keep the record clean

Review possible duplicate profiles and merge them without losing linked reservations or waitlist history.
