Pausing Same-Day Reservations

Sometimes you'll want to stop reservations coming in through your phone integration, here's how!

Shutting off same-day reservations in OpenTable will block online reservations from coming through, but Slang can still book your in-house availability!

Our Pause Same Day Reservations feature gives operators the option to apply this same incoming reservation freeze to the phone integration booking in-house tables.

 

Where do I find it?

On the Settings Page at ilove.slang.ai you’ll see a new sub-heading for Reservations:

How do I use it?

If you want to block same day reservations through the phone channel:

  1. Flip the toggle On! You’ll see a confirmation window pop up to confirm that you understand the action you’re taking.

  1. Press “Confirm
  2. That’s it! The setting will revert automatically on the next calendar day at 12am, or you can come back in and turn same-day reservations back on anytime.

What’s the caller experience?

A caller will ask for a reservation in the same way as today! Behind the scenes, the Slang Concierge will check if the requested date is today, and if same-day reservations are paused. A caller will hear,

"Unfortunately, we aren't taking any more reservations for today. We do our best to seat walk-in parties, so if you’re nearby, feel free to stop in and speak to the host. Would you like to book on a different date?"
