What Seatd helps your team do
Seatd gives staff a clearer room and gives owners controlled ways to offer reservation and waitlist access.
The host stand stays fast. Managers control the access rules. Guests get a clearer choice before they arrive.
Waitlist control+
Who uses it: Hosts and managers
Problem solved: Busy rooms lose track of who is checked in, held, ready, removed, or waiting.
Example: A host can keep a held party visible until the party is actually seated.

Reservation and access controls+
Who uses it: Owners and managers
Problem solved: Demand spikes are valuable, but reservations and waitlist priority need different rules.
Example: A manager uses Fixed Reservations for premium times, Dynamic for changing demand, or Express for a long walk-in wait.

Demand Pulse+
Who uses it: Owners and shift leads
Problem solved: Managers need better demand signals before the waitlist becomes painful.
Example: A manager sees game-day demand building and adjusts staffing, reservation inventory, or Express limits.

Game-day high
Managers get enough signal to staff the host stand, pause Express, or open more eligible tables before the room backs up.
Floor plan visibility+
Who uses it: Hosts and floor managers
Problem solved: A waitlist is only useful if staff can see which tables actually qualify for the next party.
Example: Bar seats and ineligible tables do not get treated like normal available dining tables.

Room signal
See what can actually be seated.
Hosts can see available, seated, reserved, cleaning, and held tables without guessing from paper notes.
Revenue projections+
Who uses it: Owners
Problem solved: Owners need to understand potential upside without turning the Host Stand into a spreadsheet.
Example: A restaurant compares Fixed Reservations, Dynamic Reservations, and Express before starting a pilot.
