Okonkwo · 6-top · 7:30 2 no-shows in history; auto-confirm text sent, no reply yet.
Patio hold · 5 tables released to walk-ins at 6:30 unless booked.
No-show protection
Confirm-by-text runs at 2pm; parties of 6+ hold a card. No-show rate since March: 1.9% (was 6.8% on the paper book). That is roughly $1,480/month of covers that used to vanish.
Simulated demo · fictional guests. The real product syncs the booking widget on the website, confirm texts, and the host stand tablet.
