Queued

Restaurants & cafés

Turn the door queue into a QR code, not a clipboard

Guests join from their phone, wander off, and come back when you call them. No pagers, no shouted names, no lost seats.

What it fixes

The bits of the day that eat the day.

  • The clipboard is chaos on a Friday

    Three pens, crossed-out names, and a host trying to remember who arrived first while taking three more names at once.

  • Pagers go missing or die mid-service

    Buzzer hardware is expensive to replace and easy for guests to walk off with.

  • Guests crowd the host stand

    With no visibility into their wait, people ask "how much longer?" every few minutes, which slows down everyone else's service.

  • One guess for every party size is wrong for most of them

    A couple and a party of eight don't wait for the same table. "About forty minutes" to both means one of them is going to be let down.

How it works here

Set up for restaurants.

Branded guest page
Your logo, colours and fonts — not a generic form. Guests trust it because it looks like you.
A wait quoted for their table
Worked out from the party's size, your table sizes and how fast tables are actually turning tonight. A party of five sees the one party ahead of them for a big table — not the six couples who will never use it.
Seat at a table, tap Table free
The board shows which size table each party needs, which tables are taken and when each should turn. Mark one free and every quote behind it shortens.
Menu on the wait screen
Guests can browse the menu while they wait, so they're ready to order the moment they sit down.
Covers and turn times
See covers seated, what you quoted against what people waited, and how long each size of table really stays against the time you set.

Questions

Asked by people running restaurants.

Can we still take reservations alongside this?
Yes — most restaurants keep their existing booking system for advance reservations and use Queued specifically for the walk-in line.
What happens if a guest doesn't come back when we call them?
After a grace window you set, the ticket is automatically marked as a no-show and the queue moves to the next party.
Can guests see the menu before they're seated?
Yes — on Pro and above, you can show your menu, offers and any announcements on the guest's status page while they wait.
Do I have to draw a floor plan?
No. You tell Queued how many tables you have of each size and roughly how long a party stays at one — a minute's work, changeable any time. That is all the wait estimate needs, and it adjusts to your real turn times as the night goes on.
What about a big party that needs tables pushed together?
They're quoted for your biggest table. When you seat them, pick "other size" and enter what you actually made up, so the board knows those tables are taken.
