Have more questions about our Waitlist?

What is a waitlist at a restaurant?

A restaurant waitlist (or waiting list software) helps manage walk-in guests smoothly when tables aren’t immediately available. A waitlist app for restaurants enables patrons to join the queue via mobile or QR code. With restaurant waitlist software, hosts can estimate wait times, send SMS notifications, and improve guest flow even during busy periods.

How does a restaurant waitlist work?

A restaurant waitlist app works by letting guests add themselves to a restaurant waitlist system, either in person or remotely. The system calculates the estimated wait time, updates staff in real-time and alerts guests when their table is ready. This restaurant waitlist management solution enhances efficiency and guest satisfaction, making it one of the best restaurant waitlist apps available.
