Restaurant booking confirmation templates

A reservations desk sends the same six messages all day. These cover confirming, reconfirming the day before, adding to a waitlist and turning a booking away without losing the customer.

The messages

Copy any of these as they are, or install the reservations desk pack to keep them on your keyboard. Anything in brackets is a blank the app fills as you send.

  1. Booking confirmed

    You're booked for [Party Size] on [Date] at [Time], under [Client Name]. See you then!

  2. Confirm tomorrow

    Just confirming your table for [Party Size] tomorrow at [Time]. Reply YES to keep it, or let me know if plans changed.

  3. Waitlist added

    You're on the waitlist for [Date]. I'll message you the moment a table opens - no need to call back.

  4. Fully booked

    We're fully booked for [Date], sorry! I can offer [Alternative] instead, or add you to the waitlist.

These are part of the Reservations desk pack, which installs all 10 replies in one tap.

Questions

How do you confirm a restaurant reservation by text?
Name, party size, date and time in one line, plus how to change it. Reconfirming the day before is what actually reduces no-shows.
How do you tell a customer you are fully booked?
Offer the nearest alternative time or the waitlist in the same message. A bare "we are full" ends the conversation and the booking.
