First come, first seated. Even on a Saturday.

Take names on a phone instead of a notepad. Everyone gets a number, nobody gets skipped, and the wait you quote is the real one.

Add a name, make it 8pm on a Saturday, then call and seat people.

What it is

The notepad at the door, done properly.

Table Queue is a waiting list for when you are full. Somebody arrives, you take a name, how many people, and a phone number if they want one, and they get a number and a place in line.

When a table frees up, you call the next party in. It is not a booking system: no time slots, nothing to set up in advance. Just tonight’s queue, kept fair.

Table Queue is ₹199 a month on any plan, with no setup fee. It is included in Apps Pro.

Why it beats a notepad.

  • Nobody gets skipped

    Every party has a number and a position. Whoever came first is called first, and there is no argument at the door about it.

  • Nobody gets forgotten

    No page to lose and no name half-heard across a noisy room. Everyone waiting is on one list.

  • A wait time you can stand behind

    The typical wait comes from how long tonight’s parties actually waited before being seated, not a number made up to keep someone at the door.

  • Ring them when it is ready

    Take a phone number and they can wait outside or next door. One tap rings them when their table frees up.

  • Covers at a glance

    How many parties are waiting and how many people that adds up to, so the floor knows what is coming.

  • Two phones, one queue

    The host at the door and the manager inside see the same list, kept in step on its own.

How a busy night goes.

  1. 01

    Add them at the door

    A name, the party size, and a phone number if they want to wait somewhere else.

  2. 02

    They get a number

    Number 14, two ahead. Clear, and the same rule for everyone.

  3. 03

    Call the next party

    A table frees up, you call them in, or ring them if they stepped out.

  4. 04

    Seat them, or mark a no-show

    Everyone behind moves up, and the wait time updates from what people really waited.

What you need

  • A phone or tablet at the door, and a second one inside if you like.

Questions people ask.

What does it cost?

₹199 a month on any plan, ₹1,990 for the year, and no setup fee. It is included in Apps Pro.

Is this a table booking system?

No. Table Queue is for walk-ins, today: no time slots. Table Booking is a separate add-on at ₹299 per 50 bookings a month.

Do customers need an app?

No. You take their name at the door, and a phone number if they want a call when their table is ready.

How is the wait time worked out?

From tonight’s queue: the typical time parties waited between joining and being seated. It reflects your room tonight, not a guess.

Can more than one person run the queue?

Yes. Everyone signed in sees the same list, so the host and the manager can both add, call and seat people.

Tell us what you run.

We come back the same day and tell you honestly whether table queue fits.
