The benefits of using SMS credits are;
Help reduce customer 'no shows' with the ability to set up auto send SMS booking reminder direct to a customer's mobile.
Able to follow up with a specific customer directly within their booking place
Easily notify same day waitlist customers waiting in a different area of the restaurant that their table is ready (similar to a table pager)
Notify a customer their request for a table added to the advance waitlist is available and that a booking confirmation is on their way to them.
