How do I let people see their place in line?

With any subscription you'll have access to a public waitlist page that displays the current parties on the list. You can see more on the options for how that looks here: https://waitlist.me/features/display-waitlist

The default confirmation text message that goes out when customers join the list includes the [link] variable. This will fill in with a personalized link for each person who receives the text, and highlight their place in line. You can turn on and edit this text message online under Account > Settings > Notifications. 

You can post your public waitlist link on your website or social media so that customers can see how busy you are. You'll find your personal public waitlist page link in your account at www.waitlist.me > Account > Settings > Public Waitlist. 

Pro & Platinum subscribers will see some additional branding options. This page has more details: https://www.waitlist.me/features/customize-public-waitlist
