A guest says they booked, but there is no booking
Find out whether the booking was ever made: check how far the guest got, then search Customers, the Day Planner and Charges.

They did not finish booking
While a guest books, the page holds the table with a countdown: Holding your table for. If they stop, or the time runs out, they see Your hold has expired and nothing is booked. That includes a guest who stopped at the card details step.
Ask whether they got a confirmation email. No email usually means no booking, so take the booking for them. See take a phone booking.
It is on another date or area
- Go to Bookings › Day Planner, then choose your venue.
- Click the search button in the header, choose Any date and type the guest's name.
- Not on the grid? Its table may be in a hidden area. See a booking is missing from the Day Planner.
Their details are different
- Search Customers by the guest's full email or phone. See find a guest.
- Go to Bookings › Charges and search their name, to see whether any payment came through.
They have a confirmation email
A confirmation means the booking was made, so we can trace it.
Email support at agent@stampede.ai with:
- The guest's name and the email they booked with.
- The date and time they booked for.
- A screenshot of their confirmation.
Check it worked
You have found the booking, or the guest is booked in again on the right date.
Good to know
- Payment links go to the email on the booking, so check it is there and spelt right.
- If they paid and then lost the booking, check Charges before you take any money again.
- FOH, Marketing and IT cannot see Charges.
