The web dashboard allows you to create temporary waitlist blocks. These come in handy when you need to quickly close the waitlist now or if you have a planned event or reason to block it for a day or a period of time within a specified day. Listed below are the simple steps to access and create waitlist blocks:
- Access the web Dashboard at https://app.getwisely.com/
- Select Settings.
- Select Host > Waitlist & Reservations
- Click the Create Block button
- Select a date, time range, locations, and a message you want your guests to see when trying to access your form. You can also block the whole day by leaving the 'all day' box checked.
- Click Save to submit your block
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- You can edit or delete a waitlist block after it is created by selecting the checkbox and clicking the pencil or trashcan icon.
- If you utilize the Google waitlist feature, this message will appear if your restaurant is open and the waitlist is currently blocked:
