AUTOMATION PLAYBOOK
The day before the visit, the guest gets a short “Still coming?” — YES keeps the booking; no reply triggers your table-release rule.
Cut restaurant no-shows with a day-ahead confirmation.
Trigger
24 hours before calendar reservation
Automated flow
Saturday booking at 8 PM. At 8 PM the day before, SMS goes out. Guest replies YES — table stays. Silence marks the slot available for walk-ins.
After the call: Table reminder T-24h
