The ability to add a policy when your customers sign up is very important to many users. Now, we've improved this ability and made it its own input field!
You can fully customize your policy to fit the needs of your specific business, link to an external policy, or choose which policies should be displayed for which services. You can also create multiple policies, if you’d like!
But wait, there's more!
Check out these really awesome updates.
- Session inactivity log out: Automatically log out users after a pre-determined amount of time. Enable it here.
- Google Maps registration: Allow your guests to join your waitlist directly from Google Maps, now available for companies with the business type "Café" in addition to "Restaurant". Set it up here.
- Location icon: You can now set a separate logo or icon for each of your locations while keeping your overall company logo. Configure it here.
- This month's must read: Retailers face a workforce crisis with record-high employee turnover. Waitwhile conducted a survey showing that 50% of frontline retail workers are unhappy or apathetic at work, nearly 40% are anxious, 68.5% need to regularly deal with angry customers, and 50% want more automation. In an article picked up by Total Retail, Waitwhile CEO Chris Klemming shares his thoughts about the current state of retail.
- 50+ minor tweaks: Checking bugs and tweaks off our list so you can check customers off yours!
