Restaurant bookings: waitlists, cancellations and no-shows

Handle reservation changes, waitlists and no-show follow-ups.

What you can manage in Bocadium

Handle reservation changes, waitlists and no-show follow-ups. This workflow supports real restaurant, cafe and bar operations. Check your branch, access role and enabled plan features first.

The steps explain Bocadium features; they do not automatically change orders, confirm payments or perform transactions.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Open Reservations and verify the actual table capacity for the service.

  2. 2

    Check booking date, seating time, party size and confirmation status.

  3. 3

    If full, inspect the waitlist and offer available alternatives.

  4. 4

    Record verified cancellations and no-shows, not assumed absences.

  5. 5

    Reconcile table occupancy and check that notifications were sent.

Checks and common mistakes

Saved records do not necessarily prove payment, delivery or fulfillment. Verify the workflow state.

  • Always confirm the restaurant, branch and person performing the action.
  • Do not modify real transactions during a training exercise.
