# Overbooking

> Overbooking means accepting slightly more reservations than capacity to offset expected no-shows and cancellations; done carelessly it risks turning guests away at the door.

The overbooking ratio should be based on historical no-show data. A venue with a 15% no-show history might book roughly 10% over capacity for dinner service.

Because TablePing surfaces historical no-show rates by guest and by day, overbooking decisions can be made from data rather than guesswork.
