How the Bzz Restaurant Paging System Works

1

Scan QR or Tap NFC

At the host stand, guests scan a code or tap an NFC tag to track their queue position live on their phones — no app download required.

2

See Your Specials While They Wait

While waiting, guests see branded ads for your signature cocktails, specials, and loyalty offers directly on the tracker.

3

Real-time Table-Ready Alert

The guest's phone vibrates and notifies them the moment their table is ready. They return promptly to be seated.

What is a digital pager app?

Instead of handing out bulky plastic buzzers that get lost, broken, or run flat, Bzz uses a simple web page. Diners scan a QR code at your door, wander nearby, and get an alert on their phone the moment their table is ready.

What Switching to Digital Buzzers Actually Changes

No more

Lost or broken pagers

There's no hardware to walk out the door, get dropped, or stop holding charge. The pager is the phone your guest already has.

More drinks

Ordered before they sit

Show your cocktails and specials while people wait, and more of them order a round before they reach the table.
