Waitlist for Sold Out Accommodation Dates
A waitlist feature allows you to assign a Waitlist status to a reservation.
If the room or rate requested by the guest becomes available for the desired stay dates, the reservation can be "accepted" and made active.

Waitlist Reservations are now available!
Thank you for your suggestion on a way we can improve RMS.
We are pleased to advise that the highly anticipated and most wanted feature from our user suggestions has been included in our recent RMS 9+ live release.
We appreciate your valuable feedback and look forward to introducing exciting new features from our user suggestions in the coming months.
Kind Regards,
RMS Product Development

We need this as we use our own waitlist. To have this option email the next on the list when something comes available, and give them a time limit before moving on to the next. Would save us a ton of time and effort.

It could pencil the booking in automatically. Trigger an email to the guest to confirm via portal. Then if guest doesnt respond go to the next guest on the list

This feature is extremely important to us. We currently have an excel sheet set up with over 150 guests for just one week in August. Not a great way to organize this.

We would love a waitlist and the suggestions below are great! Currently running an excel spreadsheet to keep note of the waitlist which is not ideal.

A waitlist is similar to the Special events column in the booking chart (see below). You might consider this if you want to relocate guests to a sister property. Guests on the priority waitlist are notified when a room becomes available due to a last-minute cancellation https://nfmerch.net/category/phone-case/

Looking at the booking chart, a waitlist feature is similar to the Special events column ( below). If you want to bump guests to a sister property, this might be a good option. It allows guests on a priority waitlist to be notified of a room's availability when a last-minute cancellation comes through (pop-up notification). https://mattressguides.in/sleep-and-wellness/hypnic-jerk/

The same idea has occurred to me. It doesn't appear that they are open to the idea when I've called to suggest it. Adding more areas/rooms with names such as wait1, wait2, etc., could be a workaround for this. You can untick the statistics from sales and occupancy reports for statistical reasons. If a room became available, you could call back the people on the priority list.

It would be beneficial that the waitlist is converted to an unconfirmed reservation and the sales agent receives an email advising the room is now available. The sales agent will then contact the person who made the initial inquiry.

A waitlist feature similar to Special events column ( below) when looking into the booking chart. Could possibly be ideal when bumping guest to a sister property and such. Avoids an oversight on booked out dates when last minute cancellation comes through ( pop-up notification that a room is available to contact guest whom was on priority waitlist. ( first in first serve basis).

Creating dummy rooms adds so many complexities to our system. It's a pain to create them in the first place, then editing reports not to include these area's is also impractical. Why not improve on an existing feature to add more benefits. Having visibility of parked reservations would help in so many ways? How much they have paid, what room type they had, any deposits held, booking source etc.

Digital Rez had this 10 years ago. You put them on a wait list, when that accommodation became available, it Instantly popped up that there was a waiting list for that date and site type....
