Summary

Waitlist Me manages customer waitlists and reservations, then notifies customers by text or phone when they are ready. Customers can join through a web widget, hosted page, self-check-in kiosk, QR code, or, for restaurants in the US and Canada, Google Search. The service supports future reservations and appointments, and current-day reservations can appear in the waitlist view. Premium features include in-app statistics, downloadable reports, visit logs, and weekly email summaries. Pro and Platinum add historical wait estimates based on data from the previous four weeks. Its iPad app can connect to Square to look up customers and optionally add Waitlist Me customer entries. The service is intended for one queue at a location; businesses with multiple high-volume waiting areas may use separate accounts. It has a free plan with a basic guest list and same-day reservations, but no notifications. Paid plans start at $27.99/mo (annual). Waitlist Me is available on Android, iOS, and web.
