If a user’s party is above the maximum waitlist party size, partners can enable the Above Max Party Size option to instruct users to call the restaurant. Example:
![Join waitlist dialog window, and notice to call restaurant for parties larger than six](https://developers-dot-devsite-v2-prod.appspot.com/static/actions-center/images/waitlists/above-max-party-size.png?authuser=5)
To enable this feature, the partner must modify each service in their feeds as follows:
{ "service": [ { "merchant_id": "dining-1", "localized_service_name": { "value": "Reservation", "localized_value": [ { "locale": "en", "value": "Reservation" } ] }, "service_id": "reservation", "waitlist_rules": { "min_party_size": "2", "max_party_size": "6", "supports_additional_request": true, "above_max_party_size_options": [ { "call_merchant":{} } ] } } ] }
Once call_merchant
is added to
above_max_party_size_options
(without
parameters), we’ll pull the telephone from the merchant's Google Maps information, and
display the following alert when max_party_size
has been
reached:
For parties larger thanService.waitlist_rules.max_party_size
, please call the restaurant atGoogle maps phone number
.
Notes
- The message text is fixed because Google utilizes this format to automatically localize the message.
- There are no alternative options for contacting the merchant outside of calling at present.
