1. Restaurant Waiting List
Carbonara provides software services to both Restaurant Operators (“Restaurants”) and people dining out at restaurants (“Guests”), (collectively the “Users”) and serves to facilitate Restaurants’ seating of Guests during busy restaurant periods. Guests may agree to join the Restaurant waiting list and must give certain information, such as the Guests’ name, to the Restaurants in order to make use of the Service. Restaurant operators input this information into the Service. Such information that we collect via the Restaurants and how we use it is described in our Privacy Policy.
In joining a waiting list, Guests may also disclose their mobile phone numbers to Restaurants in order to receive mobile notifications, including text message (SMS), mobile app messaging, phone call, or other method of mobile telephony. By supplying their phone number, Guests agree to receive waiting list confirmations, updates, modifications, cancellations, and notifications over such methods aforementioned.
When a Guest joins a waiting list, it is the sole discretion of the individual Restaurant how to manage such a list, and the specific time of day or place within the list does not guarantee the Guest an exact seating time or sequence amongst other waiting Guests. The Restaurant may at any time remove the Guest from the waiting list at its discretion, including but not limited to:
