Turn the wait into a warm welcome.
SeatNow runs your waitlist from any browser. Add a guest and they get a live status link that pings them the second their table's ready — no pagers, no clipboards, no shouting names across the room.
From walk-in to seated in three taps
No training day, no manual. If your host can use a phone, they can run SeatNow on day one.
Add the guest
Name, party size, and a quick wait estimate. SeatNow assigns their place in line automatically.
It lands on their screen
One tap on Notify and their live status page jumps to “Table ready” — right on the phone they already have open. No app to install.
Seat them & tap Done
They come back, you seat them, and the visit lands in your customer history for next time.
Everything the host stand needs — nothing it doesn't
Three tools that work together to keep your line moving and your guests happy.
A live waitlist that updates itself
Every party on one screen, with a wait timer that ticks in real time. Notify, seat, or cancel in a single tap — the whole team sees the same queue, instantly.
- Real-time wait timers on every card
- One-tap Notify, Done & Cancel
- Syncs live across every device in the room
A display board guests can read across the room
Cast SeatNow to any TV or tablet near the entrance. Guests watch their number climb the list — fewer "how much longer?" taps on your host's shoulder.
- Big "Now seating" + "Up next" view
- Works on any screen with a browser
- Updates the instant you tap Done
A customer history that remembers your regulars
Every visit is logged automatically. See who comes back, how often, and any notes your team left — so a regular always feels like one.
- Auto-built directory, deduped by phone
- Visit counts & last-seen at a glance
- Staff notes — "window seat, no cilantro"
Hosts run it. Owners swear by it.
"We went from a paper list and a stack of pagers to one tablet at the host stand. Our Friday walkaways basically vanished — guests trust the text and actually come back."
"The display board alone earned its keep. Nobody crowds the door anymore — they grab a drink at the bar and watch their number come up on the TV."
"Setup took one coffee. No install, no hardware, no contract. By the weekend brunch rush my whole team was running it like they'd used it for years."
