Waitlist Auto-Fill

Auto-Fill Cancelled Tattoo Slots From Your Waitlist

When a slot goes dead or a client cancels, The Hive fills it from your whole client history instead of leaving the chair empty. It pulls from everyone you have worked with, not just a short manual waitlist, and the filled slot can still take a deposit on card or bank so the new booking is locked in. The money pays straight to your own account. The Hive never holds it, and your book stays yours.


A manual waitlist is three names. Your client history is everyone.

Most booking tools hand you a waitlist you have to babysit. You add a couple of names, they go cold, and when a Saturday spot opens up at 9am you are texting the same two people who already found somebody else. The chair sits empty and that is a full day's rate gone.

The Hive does not lean on a short manual list. When a slot dies, it reaches into your whole client history — every person you have ever tattooed — and offers the open time to the people most likely to jump on it. More reach, fewer dead chairs.

How the auto-fill works

  1. A slot goes dead. A client cancels, reschedules, or ghosts and suddenly you have open time you did not plan for.
  2. The Hive pulls from your whole client history. Not a manual waitlist of a few names — everyone you have worked with becomes a candidate to fill the gap.
  3. Someone takes the slot with a deposit. The filled slot can still take a deposit on card or bank, so the new booking is actually locked in, not just penciled.
  4. The deposit lands in your account. Money pays straight to you. The Hive never holds it.

Your money. Your book. Your clients.

Deposits pay straight to your own account — The Hive never touches your money or sits on it waiting to pay you out. And the client list the auto-fill draws from is yours. Your book and your clients stay yours, full stop.

Questions artists actually ask

How does The Hive fill a cancelled slot?

When a slot goes dead or a client cancels, The Hive fills it from your whole client history instead of leaving the chair empty. It pulls from everyone you have worked with, not just a short manual waitlist, so there are far more people it can reach to take the open time.

Does the filled slot still take a deposit?

Yes. A filled slot can still take a deposit on card or bank, so the new booking is locked in and you are not just handing the same no-show risk to a different name.

Where does the deposit money go?

Straight to your own account. The Hive never holds your money, and your book and client list stay yours.

Do I have to keep a separate waitlist up to date?

No, and that is the whole point. A manual waitlist is a handful of names and it goes stale fast. The Hive works from your entire client history, so the pool it can offer the slot to is everyone you have ever tattooed.

Can I see it working before I commit?

Yes. Watch the live demo at thehive.fyi/demo or book a call at thehive.fyi/schedule.
