In Booking Ninjas, Waitlist means a queue of people or requests waiting for availability when current capacity is full or unavailable.
A waitlist does not guarantee a booking. It records unmet demand and provides a controlled way to offer or allocate newly available capacity when the organization's rules allow.
What Does Waitlist Mean in Practice?
In practice, a waitlist entry can record the customer, requested date or resource, entry time, priority, and eligibility. If capacity opens, the configured rules determine which eligible entry is offered or allocated the space.
Why Does Waitlist Matter?
A structured waitlist helps teams handle excess demand consistently instead of relying on informal notes, memory, or manual prioritization.
How Can Waitlist Connect to Other Records?
A waitlist can connect to the customer, requested booking or resource, capacity, priority and eligibility rules, offers, responses, and allocation history.
Where Does Booking Ninjas Fit?
