Reservation Models and Waitlist Model

Fixed and Dynamic are reservation models. Express is a separate waitlist-priority model. They are equal paths into the Seatd platform, built for different restaurant operations.

Reservation Models
Waitlist Model

Reservation model

Fixed Reservations

Best fit
Reservation-focused restaurants with predictable premium times, tables, or experiences.
How pricing works
The restaurant sets one consistent access price for each eligible time, table, or section.
What remains free
Off-peak times and any inventory the restaurant chooses.
What guests pay for
One access price per reservation/table. Food and beverage are separate.
Restaurant controls
Times, tables, sections, price, quantity released, days, and pause control.
Realistic example: Four 7:00 PM reservations at $15 create $60 in gross access revenue for the night.Illustrative: $300 per five-night week; about $15,600 per year.

Reservation model

Dynamic Reservations

Best fit
Restaurants whose reservation and premium walk-in demand changes through the evening.
How pricing works
Prices move with demand, time, events, and table scarcity inside restaurant-approved limits.
What remains free
Quiet periods, ineligible inventory, and any time the manager pauses paid access.
What guests pay for
The current access price for one reservation or premium placement.
Restaurant controls
Minimum, maximum, eligible inventory, free times, limits, overrides, and pause control.
Realistic example: Eight paid placements averaging $12 create $96 in gross access revenue for the night.Illustrative: $480 per five-night week; about $24,960 per year.

Waitlist model

Express

Best fit
High-volume, walk-in-heavy restaurants and chains with long, uncertain waits.
How pricing works
The restaurant offers a clear Express price when priority access helps the room.
What remains free
The regular waitlist always remains available without an access purchase.
What guests pay for
Priority toward the next qualifying table, not guaranteed immediate seating.
Restaurant controls
Availability, price, active-party caps, party size, eligible tables, and pause control.
Realistic example: Twelve successful $10 Express purchases create $120 in gross access revenue for the night.Illustrative: $600 per five-night week; about $31,200 per year.

Pricing and policy FAQ

Is this published pilot pricing?

No. The examples explain the product models. Final pilot terms depend on restaurant setup, location, operating rules, processing costs, and agreed commercial terms.

Are reservation prices per guest?

No. Fixed and Dynamic reservation access is one price per reservation/table, not one charge per individual seat.

Does Express guarantee an immediate table?

No. Express gives priority toward the next qualifying table. Party size, table eligibility, current guests, and restaurant control still matter.

Does Seatd change prices automatically?

Not without restaurant approval. Managers set limits and retain override and pause controls.
