Floor
Same floor as your reservations.
Waiting parties and booked tables share one floor plan, so the host can see what is held and what is free before seating anyone.

Walk-ins join from their phone. Hosts run the door from one screen. Guests get a text when their table is ready, so they can wait nearby and you do not lose them.

What changes at the door
Fewer walk-ins lost. Calmer hosts.
Guests join from their phone.
