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.
