- Two-way guest chat, no SMS fees

- Strong 10-second device vibration
- No hardware to buy, lose, or sanitize
- Works on any modern smartphone

In-wait marketing on the phone already in their hand
While guests watch their place in line, show specials, drinks, loyalty offers, and promotions on the same screen — a channel you own, right where their attention already is.

- Persona-targeted promotions
- Run your own ads or white-label the page
- Built to lift average check size

And the operational glue

Optional, permission-based location checks let you require guests to be on-site to join, or simply notify you the moment they arrive nearby — cutting ghost entries without hardware.
- Require presence to join
- Arrival notifications
- Privacy-first & permission-based

Invite staff with owner, admin, and member roles and run every site from one login — everyone working off the same live view of the floor and the list.

Reviewed on the platforms that vet products
“Their support team is extremely kind and helpful. We were one of their first customers, so they spent a whole 2 hours in the restaurant helping us set up effective ads. The owner personally dropped in for a meal 3 months later to check how we were doing. I suggested a feature and within two weeks they added it to our plan free of charge. Way better than paying triple the cost for a faceless company's product. Customer for life!”
