If you want to automatically confirm reservations for small groups but prefer to manually manage larger ones, you can now enable the waitlist starting from a specific number of guests.
How to activate it
Go to Configuration > Services/Opening Hours.
Scroll down to the Confirmation Type section.
You will find the option Automatic waitlist for the minimum number of guests.
ā ļø This option is only available if you have activated the "Immediate confirmation" type.
Setting the minimum number of people
Enable the option and choose the number of guests from which reservations should be added to the waitlist.
For example, if you set it to 5, any reservation for 5 or more guests will be automatically placed on the waitlist.
