Waiting list

A waiting list, so being full costs you nothing

A real Clay site, built from a Google listing

The enquiry you cannot take today is the one you want most in September.

Takes less than a minute · no sign-up or credit card required

A business that is full spends the year saying no, and almost none of those people are ever heard from again, because there was nothing for them to leave behind.

So the page takes a name, a contact and the date they need, and says honestly how long the list usually is. When a place comes up you have a list to ring instead of a term of advertising.

The form

Name, contact, and when they need it

Three fields. The date is the one that matters, because a list sorted by when somebody actually needs a place is a list you can work through in order.

Anything else can wait for the call. A long form at the moment you have just said no is where most people close the tab.

The honest part

How long the list actually is

Say roughly how many are ahead and how often places come up. A parent told the truth in March plans around it; one told nothing rings four other places.

And say when you last called somebody off it. A list that visibly moves is one people stay on.

What you get

Three fields, no more

Name, contact and the date they need. Anything longer loses the person you just turned away.

Sorted by when they need it

A list in date order is a list you can actually work through when a place opens.

The real length, said

Told the truth in March, somebody plans around it. Told nothing, they ring four other places.

Your photographs, already sorted

Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.

What it looks like when it is live

Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.

Questions

Is a waiting list not just bad news?

It is the opposite. Being full is proof, and a list is how you turn a no today into a yes in September.

How much should the form ask?

Three fields. You have just told somebody no, and a long form at that moment is where they leave.

Should I say how long the list is?

Yes, honestly. A parent who knows plans around it, and one who does not rings four other places this afternoon.

How do I manage the list?

It arrives as messages, in date order, and you work through it. There is nothing to log into.

Does this work for a restaurant?

For a full night, yes, though a cancellation list is fast moving: how the booking works handles the rest.

What about a class that is full?

The same shape, by term rather than by date: a class schedule.

Should I take a deposit to hold a place?

A deposit is stated and settled with you rather than charged through us, and on a waiting list most businesses do not take one at all.
