Waitlist Management

Saturday's fully booked and a client wants in. Add them to the waitlist with their preferences — morning only, wants Sarah, call rather than text. When Emma cancels at 2pm on Thursday, you pull up the waitlist, filter by Saturday, and know exactly who to ring first.

Key Benefits

  • Priority ordering that works. High, Normal, Low. Your VIPs and urgent requests appear at the top. Someone who's flexible sits further down. No spreadsheets, no "who's been waiting longest?" guesswork.
  • Preferences recorded once. Morning only? Needs a specific stylist? Prefers a text over a phone call? Capture it all when you add them. When a slot opens, you're not asking them to repeat themselves.
  • Drag to book. Cancellation comes in, you spot a gap on the calendar. Drag the waitlist entry onto the slot and the appointment form opens pre-filled. Customer name, service, everything.
  • Status tracking. Active, Contacted, Converted, Cancelled. Mark someone as "Contacted" so your colleague doesn't call them twice. Entries move to "Converted" automatically when you book them in.
  • Dashboard flags high-priority entries. Your morning check shows who's been waiting too long or marked as urgent. No need to dig through a list — the ones that matter surface on their own.
