Table No-Show

Matches the book against the checks open at the POS and proposes a reconfirmation text or a waitlist release for each unseated table.

About

The book says a party of four at a set time. The point of sale says which tables have a check open. Table No-Show reads both. It takes the day's bookings from your reservation platform, or the scheduled orders a reservation service has posted into Toast with a table and a promisedDate, and watches open checks by table name in Oracle MICROS Simphony or dine-in orders in Toast. A booking with no check on its table by the time you allow becomes a candidate.

For each candidate it proposes one thing: a reconfirmation text to the guest through Twilio, a release of the table to the waitlist, or a no-show record for the host to confirm. The host approves from the list. Nothing is sent or released until they do.

This is a reference listing. It documents what Fibric would read from Table No-Show and what it could propose, based on the vendor's published interfaces. Fibric builds it under a managed deployment when you request it; selecting it here installs nothing.

Inputs

  • The day's bookings from your reservation platform: time, party size, table or section, and status, read by API or export
  • Scheduled dine-in orders a reservation service has posted to Toast with a table, a promisedDate, and numberOfGuests
  • Open checks by table in Oracle MICROS Simphony through GET /api/v1/checks, with tableName, guestCount, openTime, and the sinceTime filter
  • Dine-in orders in Toast with table, server, numberOfGuests, and openedDate, through the orders API and the order_updated webhook
  • The dining tables configured for a Toast restaurant through the configuration API's Get tables, so a booking maps to a real table
  • Delivery status of each reconfirmation through Twilio status callbacks: queued, sent, delivered, undelivered, or failed
  • Guest replies through Twilio's incoming message webhook, with From and Body, matched back to the booking that was texted

Proposed actions

  • Target capability: propose a reconfirmation text through the Twilio Message resource to a booking with no check open at the time you set
  • Target capability: propose releasing a table to the waitlist when the reconfirmation goes unanswered past your grace period
  • Target capability: propose recording the booking as a no-show, with the time and the check search that found nothing, for the host to confirm
  • Target capability: propose a reminder text ahead of service, scheduled through a Twilio Messaging Service with sendAt, for parties above a size you choose

Proposed actions are target capabilities. Every action runs propose-first and needs a validated deployment and the appropriate permissions.

What you can build

  • Text the booking that has not arrived

    At the time you set, a booking with no open check on its Simphony table gets a proposed reconfirmation text. The host approves it, Twilio reports delivery, and the guest's reply lands beside the booking.

    With Oracle MICROS Simphony, Twilio

  • Release the table to the waitlist

    A reconfirmation goes unanswered past your grace period. The operator proposes releasing the Toast table to the waitlist and records the booking, the texts sent, and who approved.

    With Toast, Twilio

  • Remind the large party the day before

    Parties above the size you choose get a proposed reminder, scheduled through a Twilio Messaging Service. A reply that cancels frees the Toast table before service starts.

    With Twilio, Toast

Requirements

  • A reservation platform, such as OpenTable or SevenRooms, that shares bookings by API or export with time, party size, table, and status
  • A Toast connector, or an Oracle MICROS Simphony connector with STS Gen2 provisioned, for the outlets whose checks it reads
  • A Twilio connector with a number or Messaging Service and a status callback URL, and the guest's consent to receive texts
  • A map from reservation tables or sections to POS table names, and the grace period you allow before a booking counts as unseated
Authentication
Reads bookings through the credentials your reservation platform issues, reads checks through the API account your Toast or Simphony connector holds, and sends texts through the account SID and auth token in your Twilio connector, after approval.

Limits

  • Seated means a check is open on the booked table. A party moved to another table stays unseated until a host matches it.
  • Texts go only to guests whose number and consent your reservation platform holds. It does not look up numbers elsewhere.
  • Every act is a proposal. A text is not sent, a table is not released, and a no-show is not recorded without a person.
  • Walk-ins and bar seats have no booking to match. They appear only as open checks and are never proposed for release.

Questions and answers

What does a person approve?
Every text, release, and no-show record. The proposal shows the booking, the table it maps to, the checks found on it, the time elapsed, and the exact message. Approve, edit, or dismiss.
What record is left?
A receipt per booking: the reservation, the POS checks searched, the text sent with its Twilio delivery status, any reply, the release or no-show record, and who approved it. Putting a released table back is one step.
Will it text a guest on its own?
No. It reads bookings and checks and drafts the message. A text is sent once, after approval, through your Twilio number or Messaging Service. It never releases a table or records a no-show without a person.
