Arrival Distribution — Tonight

Limit covers per time interval
Pacing interval
15 min
How often pacing resets. 15 min is recommended for most venues.
Pacing mode
195 seats × 300 min service ÷ (90 min turn + 10 min buffer) = 585 max covers. At 20/15min pacing: ~80/hr → 400 covers across 5hr service (68% of theoretical max).
Turn Times
How long each party size occupies a table. Wabi uses this to calculate when tables free up and prevent overbooking.

Walk-in Reserve
Hold back a percentage of your reservable capacity for walk-in guests. These seats won't be offered online.
165 reservable seats × 10% = ~17 seats held for walk-ins. Online availability shows 148 seats.
Release walk-in seats if not filled
Make held seats bookable again 2 hours before service
Smart Overbooking
Accept more bookings than physical capacity based on your historical no-show rate. Wabi learns your no-show patterns and adjusts automatically.
Enable smart overbooking
Allow accepting bookings beyond 100% capacity
Your no-show rate
8%based on last 90 days
Updated automatically. Override manually if needed.
195 seats + 5% overbooking = accepting up to 205 covers. Based on 8% no-show rate, expected actual covers: ~189.
