Geofence Radius for Self Check-in

If you're using our powerful Self Check-in feature to let guests join the wait themselves, you can now set a custom geofence radius between 0.5 and 20 miles.

Guests will only be able to join the wait when they are physically nearby your business. This can be useful in preventing no shows. As always, this is an optional setting that can be turned on or off to meet your needs.

Location Services

Note that if the Geofence feature is on, your guests will be prompted to turn on location services as a requirement to move forward with submitting the Self Check-in form and joining the waitlist. Key points and resources below:

  • Location Services must be activated for the specific browser app the guest is using

  • Precise Location must be turned on

Tip: You'll want to update your Location address(es) to make sure we have a valid address to use for geofencing.
