The situation
Restaurants
Guests increasingly use SMS to change or confirm reservations, but sorting these requests via staff mobiles risks missed or delayed responses. A streamlined, coordinated workflow helps staff answer and track each change.
A practical workflow
- A guest’s SMS triggers a message in the reservation dashboard.
- Staff check table availability and confirm or offer alternatives using SMS from the restaurant’s number.
- SMS replies and call events are logged back to the guest profile for easy tracking.
Why it helps
Quick, clear confirmations cut down on double-bookings and no-shows, improving efficiency and guest satisfaction.
What to check first
Actual availability must always be checked in your reservation system. The system doesn't force updates—human review is essential.
Questions for this activity
Can the system handle group bookings or special requests automatically?
No, special requests should be reviewed and confirmed by your team to avoid miscommunication.
Will replies sync with third-party reservation systems?
SMS logs can sync to supported CRMs, but direct reservation integration may depend on your current tools.
