Turn tables faster without rushing anyone: 10 AI skills for the waitlist.

A no-show fee that holds up as a loss not a penalty, a deposit shown before the money is taken, and the capacity number the fire warden already knows.

10 skills for turning tables faster without rushing anyone.

nobody loses a service to one bad decision. it's a slow leak - a table held ten minutes too long, a no-show nobody planned for, a deposit nobody told the guest about until the card got charged. this is 10 Claude and Codex skills for the queue: the wait, the walk-ins, the no-shows, the room you're legally allowed to fill.

the detail in them is real, not a guess at "busy". restaurants using deposits saw no-shows fall by around 60% in one global reservations dataset; the same data put reminder texts at 16% fewer no-shows, and the plain average no-show rate across 3.77 million bookings was 2.33%, nearly three times higher on bookings with no deposit or card hold at all. and the law behind the deposit itself is specific: a term making a guest "pay a disproportionately high sum" for cancelling is on the Consumer Rights Act's own list of terms that may be unfair.

what they get you:

- know when a table has earned its bill, not guess it
- text a table-ready message that stays a service message, not marketing
- charge a no-show fee that's a loss, not a penalty
- overbook by the number your own no-shows justify, never more
- seat walk-ins and bookings by one fair rule, not a hunch
- feed the kitchen in waves so service doesn't collapse at 8pm
- prove the queue ran in order, and delete the names on schedule
- know the room's legal capacity before the fire warden tells you
- staff and stock for the covers actually coming, not last year's rota
- show the price and the terms before you take the deposit

half of them think it through in Claude, half get it done in Codex. one folder each. a minute to install.

most of what they find is arithmetic and small print nobody checks twice. a dining room rated at 1.0 square metre a person seats fewer than the chairs suggest once the exits are counted properly, and the lower of the two figures, floor space or exit width, is the one that's actually legal. a deposit the CMA calls defensible is "no more than a small percentage of the total price", not half the bill up front. and a table turned at 45 minutes in a fast casual room is a completely different number from the 90 to 120 minutes a traditional sit-down service actually needs, so one borrowed benchmark gets both of them wrong.

no reservations platform to buy, no consultancy day rate, no new till system. you keep the booking system you already use, these just stop it running on guesswork.

10 skills. one complete system.
