On a busy Friday night your host adds walk-ins and reservations to one list, quotes a wait the app predicts, and texts each party with one tap when their table is ready. Guests can wait at the bar or down the street instead of crowding the door, and they can join the line themselves from a QR code, a text, your website or Google. It fits quick-service counters that just need to page guests as well as full-service dining rooms that want online bookings, a live floor plan, two-way texting over SMS or WhatsApp, and deposits through Stripe. Retailers, salons, clinics and DMVs use the same tools to manage their lines. Setup takes minutes: sign up, add your staff (users are unlimited on paid plans) and start texting from any browser or the iPhone and iPad app. The free plan covers 150 messages a month; paid plans start at $39/month with a 14-day free trial and no contract. Our support team answers email and chat Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Eastern, with weekend check-ins, and the help center has step-by-step articles and video tutorials. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 66 users.

They are flexible and friendly and eager to get you working as needed. Felt very "taken care of" as a customer. If I may name drop, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] was absolutely great and so helpful with my most recent issues. ----- ### "Good job\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ania** | *10 July 2022* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Bering able to communicate with out customers > > **Cons**: Small print. There is not much that I don’t like about this system > > Very good ----- ### "A Lifesaver for the Winter Months in Ohio" — 5.0/5 > **Joshua** | *12 April 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We are a little bit unique in the fact that we are not a restaurant but a childcare company. TablesReady was a lifesaver to ensure that our parents were not waiting in line during the cold winter months when we did not allow them into the building. The service was so efficient and easy to set up as a company administrator. Our favorite feature by far was the easy-to-use text message feature that allowed parents to text us when they were here. We could then respond with an automated message when their children were ready to be picked up at the door. > > **Cons**: There were a few occasions where the text messaging feature was not working and parents had some issues, but the tech support team for TablesReady has always been very responsive and the issues were always resolved. > > Discovering TablesReady was a life-saver and made parent pick up in the afternoons 1000x more efficient. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] in the tech support department was always prompt to reply to any questions our company had and made our experience even better\! ----- ### "TablesReady saved us during COVID" — 5.0/5 > **Deborah** | *2 August 2022* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Because we used TablesReady we were able to operate safely during COVID. It was so well received that we have made it a common practice. > > **Cons**: We had so many customers that it became hard for people to track where they were in line -- however, we were moving people through the line fast, so this information was a bit inaccurate anyhow. > > At our events, people can wait in a checkout line for up to 1-1.5 hours. Now with tables ready, our customers can continue to walk around instead of standing in an actual checkout line. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/264743/tablesready?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/264743/tablesready) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
