Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I received a notification that a seat became available, but I couldn't make a reservation.

Q: What is the difference between "walk-in waitlist" and "Reservation Waitlist"?
A: "walk-in waitlist" and "Reservation Waitlist" differ in purpose and how they work.
walk-in waitlist: This is a system that accepts your arrival-order entry online when you arrive at the restaurant (participating locations only). After registering, you will receive a notification via SMS or email, and you can cancel from the URL in the notification or from the email. Some locations have location-based restrictions, and you can only register near the restaurant.
Reservation Waitlist: This is a system for receiving a notification when a spot opens up if a reservation at a specific date and time is fully booked (at restaurants offering online reservation Waitlist). You are not automatically confirmed — after receiving the notification, you need to complete the reservation yourself. Registration, confirmation, and cancellation can be done from My Page or the notification email. Notifications are email only (no SMS). Logging in with a TableCheck account is required.
