NEW FEATURES
Many dealerships, tourist destinations, and hotel front desks use Waitlist to put their guest on an interactive, digital list. The list is fully customizable with room or reservation numbers, package arrival notifications and wait times. Requests for fax or key information can be made via the Waitlist.
Once a guest or customer is on the Waitlist, ShuttleQ will send a confirmation to the guest and a notification to internal personnel once a request is ready. A simple click or push of a button sends out a text to let the guest know their request is ready. With this level of automation, the guest or customer will always be kept in the loop of what is going on with their request. Guest or customer satisfaction will increase leading to more business and better results.
ShuttleQ gives any client the capability to personalize the messages or notifications the customer/guest receives when added to the Waitlist.
