Request Flow

Approve every booking before it reaches your drivers

You decide which bookings you take

Not every booking is one you can serve. With the request flow, new bookings arrive as requests and only become confirmed rides when you say yes. You stay in control, and your drivers never get a job you didn't approve.


How it helps your business

  • Full control: accept only the rides you can cover

  • Better driver management: only confirmed rides reach your drivers, so you avoid overbooking and keep schedules manageable

  • Less back-and-forth: every request waits in one place for your answer, instead of being scattered across calls and messages

  • Reliable promises: passengers get a confirmation you can actually keep


How it works

When a passenger books through your Web Booker, the booking doesn't become a confirmed ride straight away. It arrives as a request.

  • All requests that are waiting for your approval appear in the Requested tab of your Dispatch Panel.

  • The Requested tab only shows while at least one request is waiting. When there are none, it hides automatically, so your Dispatch Panel stays clean.

  • You review the request and accept it. It then becomes a confirmed booking.

  • Assign the confirmed booking to a driver, as you would any other ride.

  • If a request is still unconfirmed shortly before pickup, it can be cancelled automatically, so passengers aren't left waiting.
