Guests & waitlist

Put guest memory inside the service flow.

Phone-first profiles bring visits, allergies, occasions, preferences, notes, households, and the waitlist into one record hosts use mid-service.

Illustration · sample data

Recognition works when the context appears before staff have to ask for it.

Hostbook places guest memory next to reservations and tables, so the profile supports the welcome instead of becoming another database to maintain.

See the relationship, not just the next booking

Visits, cancellations, no-shows, tables, party sizes, and internal notes stay connected to the guest.

Households on one phone

Couples and families who share a number stay separate people, each with their own visits, preferences, and occasions.

Remember who is celebrating

Store named birthdays and anniversaries on the profile, then fill in the occasion automatically when they book on that date.

Run walk-ins and the waitlist from the same room

Quote waits, send table-ready messages, seat from the list, or place a walk-in straight onto a table.

Built for service

Hospitality feels personal when the useful details arrive at the right moment.
