For restaurants and cafes
Free restaurant waitlist app, so guests don't stand at the door
When the tables are full, guests join the waitlist and follow their turn on their phone. As soon as a table is ready, the number and table are called on the guest's phone and on the TV display.
Core queue features are free, with no time limit.
The problem
What usually happens while guests wait
Guests crowd at the door at mealtimes.
A paper waitlist is hard to read and easy to skip.
Guests leave because they don't know how long the wait is.
Servers keep answering "How much longer?"

FAQ
Questions about restaurant waitlists
How do I manage a restaurant waitlist?
To manage a restaurant waitlist, give each party a queue number and note the party size, then let them know when a table is ready. With WaitYa, guests scan a QR to follow their turn on their phone and are called to their table, with no app to install.
Can I note the party size?
Yes. Party size and name are both optional when you make a number.
What if a guest doesn't come when called?
Call again, or skip the number. Skipped numbers aren't deleted and can go back into the queue.
Does it suit a small cafe?
Yes. One phone or tablet is enough. A thermal printer and a TV are optional.
