Auto-Confirm Reservations
Guests book, tables get assigned, staff stay on the floor.
Guests expect instant confirmation. If they book through your website and sit in "pending" for twenty minutes, they book somewhere else. But staff can't keep up with manual approvals during rush hour.
Auto-Confirm does the work for you. When a reservation comes in from the booking form, Facebook, Instagram, Google, or Gmail, Reservation.Tools checks availability, finds the first free table that fits the party, assigns it, and marks the booking as confirmed — in seconds.
When paired with the Availability Checker, the form only offers slots where a table actually exists, so nothing overbooks. When Availability Checker is off and you use a waitlist, Auto-Confirm pushes the booking to the waitlist and still shows the guest a confirmation — you keep control.
Turn it on per integration: website form, Reserve with Google, Gmail channels. Turn it off for channels where you want a human to eyeball every booking.
Key benefits
Zero delay for the guest
Guests see a confirmation the moment they click book — not twenty minutes later.
Staff stop watching the inbox
No manual approvals during service. The system handles the routine bookings.
First free table wins
The availability engine picks the next open table that fits the party size, so capacity fills efficiently.
Waitlist-safe fallback
When tables are full and a waitlist is on, the booking still gets auto-confirmed onto the waitlist.
Per-channel control
Turn it on for your website, off for a channel you want staff to review — or the other way around.
