4 Waitlisting A Dining Reservation

A dining reservation or walk in reservation can be placed on a waitlist when the restaurant reaches its seating capacity through the Check In List or Scan Card function.

Note:

SWMobile currently does not support pager assignment to a reservation.

Pager assignment to a waitlisted dining reservation is only available in SilverWhere .Net.
