Waitlist guests instead of turning them away

When chairs or tables are full, capture names on a waitlist and message them when you can serve them.

The operational problem

Guests leaving because the wait feels unknown

Staff keeping unofficial lists on paper

No way to notify when a slot frees up

Frequently asked questions

Does Citanzo work for walk-in heavy businesses in India?
Yes. Citanzo is built for mixed traffic — advance bookings plus same-day walk-ins, tokens, waitlists, and QR join at reception. Salons, clinics, barbers, and restaurants use one dashboard for both.
Can customers book without downloading an app?
Customers use your booking link in a mobile browser. No app install is required for booking or joining a queue.
Are WhatsApp reminders included?
WhatsApp and SMS reminders are part of the workflow on supported plans. You configure services once; reminders go out before appointments based on your settings.
