Text / SMS paging & waitlist

Text-message paging. No pager required.

Notify guests by SMS on the phone in their pocket, run a live virtual waitlist with accurate wait times, and message two-ways — no coasters to charge, chase, or lose.

Guest receiving an SMS that their table is ready

Text to any phone

Guests get an SMS on the phone they already carry — no app, no hardware.

Live virtual waitlist

See the whole queue with accurate, quoted wait times.

Two-way messaging

Guests reply, hosts respond — all logged against the guest.

Fewer walk-aways

Accurate waits and freedom to wander keep guests from leaving.

How it works

Add to the list. Text when ready.

No pagers to hand out, charge, or lose. Guests wait on their own phones and come back the moment you text them.

01

Add the guest

Take a name and mobile number at the host stand, kiosk, or from a web check-in link.

02

They wait anywhere

Guests are free to browse, grab a drink, or wait in the car — their place in the queue is held.

03

Text when it's ready

One tap sends an SMS — 'Your table's ready' — and they reply if they need a few more minutes.

Virtual waitlist

A live waitlist that quotes accurate wait times.

See the whole queue at a glance — who's waiting, how long they've been there, and an accurate quoted wait based on your real turn times.

Guests can join from a QR or web link before they arrive, so the list is already moving when they walk in.

  • Live queue with quoted wait times
  • Web and QR self check-in
  • Party size, notes, and seating preferences
  • No-show and walk-away tracking

Two-way text

It's a conversation, not just a buzz.

Guests can text back — 'running 10 late', 'can we sit outside?' — and staff reply right from the waitlist, keeping everyone in the loop without a phone call.

Every message is logged against the guest, so the next host picks up exactly where the last one left off.

  • Inbound replies routed to the host view
  • Canned responses for common questions
  • Branded sender name on every message
  • Full message history per guest

Where it fits

Anywhere people wait for a table, a turn, or a service.

Text messaging suits venues where guests would rather wait on their phone than hold a buzzer — and pairs with physical pagers where you still want them.

Restaurants & cafes

Quote a wait, free up the foyer, and text diners the moment a table opens.

Clubs & venues

Manage bistro and function queues without a pile of coaster pagers.

Clinics & medical

Text patients waiting onsite or curbside when it's their turn for care.

Salons & services

Let clients wander while their stylist or technician gets ready.

Retail & service desks

Notify customers when an order, repair, or consultation is ready.

Hotels & resorts

Text guests about check-in, tables, and bookings across the property.

Nothing to hand out
0 pagers to lose

Guests wait on the phone already in their pocket.

No coasters to charge, sanitise, chase, or replace. Text messaging scales to any volume and works the moment a guest gives you their number.
