Waitwhile offers two flexible booking options to suit different business needs.

  1. Automatic Bookings

  2. Booking Requests

Automatic Bookings:

With Automatic Bookings, appointments are instantly booked and blocked on the calendar based on available time slots, providing a quick and seamless booking experience for customers. This option is ideal for businesses with predictable schedules, like salons or fitness studios, where real-time availability is sufficient.

Booking Requests:

On the other hand, the Booking Requests & Approvals option gives businesses more control by allowing them to review and approve appointments before confirming. This is particularly useful for services that require manual oversight, such as pet grooming or high-demand clinics, where staff need to assess availability or specific requirements before accepting a booking.

Both options ensure a smooth process while offering the right balance of automation and flexibility.
