Questions
Things people ask
How does the system calculate the no-show risk score?
The tool uses a machine learning model that looks at past customer behavior, the time between booking and the activity, and external factors like weather forecasts to generate a probability score.
Will this integrate with my current reservation software?
Yes. The assistant connects directly to booking platforms like FareHarbor, Xola, and Peek Pro via their APIs to read your schedule and adjust availability.
How does the smart overbooking feature work?
We use your historical attendance data alongside current weather forecasts and booking lead times to evaluate each appointment. The system then assigns a simple risk score to help you understand the likelihood of a cancellation.
What happens if everyone actually shows up?
The overbook assistant uses conservative limits to prevent overcrowding. If all scheduled guests arrive, your staff will need to manage the extra volume using your standard standby procedures. We provide the data so you can make the final call on how many extra bookings to accept.
Can I manually override the risk scores?
You have full control over the overbooking parameters. You can disable the assistant entirely for specific days, limit the maximum number of extra slots, or require manager approval before an overbooked slot is confirmed.
Does the tool notify customers who are flagged as high risk?
You can configure the system to trigger automated SMS or email confirmation requests through Twilio or SendGrid specifically for bookings that exceed your risk threshold.
How accurate are the weather-based predictions?
The tool connects directly to your existing booking system to pull schedule data in real time. We process this information in the background and display the risk scores and overbook suggestions directly on your main calendar view.
