Waitlist Management
Everyone hates waiting in lines
Don’t force your customers to wait in long lines or force them to go to your competitor due to long wait times. With SmartWAIT, customers can join the wait list in advance and walk in just in time to be seated.
How to make each customer feel like a VIP
View customer data the moment they walk in. Data such as VIPs, High profitable customers, and regulars. Such actionable insights allow your staff to treat each customer like VIP and make them feel special in ways that would be impossible otherwise. Impress each guest by calling them by name, bumping them ahead of the line, and providing a service level that is above monetary value
Faster table turns, means more money per hour
Notify customers via text when their table is ready but meantime, customers can easily check their spot in line without downloading an app. They can browse your beautiful menu with pictures, daily specials before even being seated. Rich features as such allow you to increase your table turnover, therefore, making more money using the same footprint. Faster table turns, means more money per hour.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when the internet goes down?
SmartWAIT app is cloud-based, a reliable internet connection is required. If the internet is down, you are unable to send any text notifications to your customers.
Your online reservations will continue to be active and once the internet is restored, your tablet will sync.
We do offer a 100% up-time guarantee internet service via our SmartCONNECT in order to solve this problem.
Is there any cover fees for wait list or reservations?
No, we do not charge any fees for cover fees, text messages or other fees.
Your monthly fee is all that you pay regardless of covers.
Does SmartWAIT integrate to POS?
Yes, currently SmartWAIT is deeply integrated into SmartPOS which means once you seat John on table 14 from the SmartWAIT app, SmartPOS knows table 14 is John.
Once John pays and the check is closed, SmartWAIT will automatically know that table 14 is available. You do not need to have someone walk around the restaurant and mark tables as open like the traditional systems like OpenTable, Resi, NoWait and etc.
