During these times many businesses have strict requirements on how many people can physically be inside their shop at the same time. 

Waitwhile now lets you track your occupancy and update whenever a customer enters or leaves. Your waitlist can be set to only activate once you hit your capacity limit and people need to queue to enter - which they can then do remotely at a safe distance!

→ Turn this feature on under Waitlist Settings or learn more first

You can now send an automatic SMS or Email confirmation to your guests if they are cancelled or marked as a no-show. This is great to keep them informed and maybe also encourage them to reschedule for another time.

Displaying your Public Waitlist on a large TV monitor is a popular method and we’ve made it look better!

Waitwhile is better together with the other tools your business uses. Now it’s easier than ever to connect Waitwhile to thousands of apps and services through our new Zapier app.

Here are some things you can now do:

• Create a Zoom meeting for new Waitwhile bookings
• Sync your bookings with Google Calendar or Outlook
• Print a confirmation receipt when a guest joins your waitlist

We’re made 20+ improvements to Waitwhile bookings this month including these new settings:

• Restrict that a person can only have 1 booking at a time.
• Allow your staff to be able to overbook already full slots (if you want to squeeze in some VIPs, for example)
• Control if you want Resources to impact your available time slots or not.

Keeping Waitwhile up and running at all times is our single biggest priority. Now you can monitor the health of the Waitwhile system in realtime on status.waitwhile.com and subscribe to important updates.
