Use Case — Restaurants
Digital waitlist for restaurants & cafes
Let guests wait comfortably nearby. Notify them when their table is ready. No more paper lists or shouting names.
The Challenge
Busy restaurants lose customers who don't want to stand in a crowded lobby. Paper waitlists are easy to lose, hard to estimate, and give guests no visibility into their wait time.
How MicroQ Helps
Mobile Queue Join
Guests scan a QR code at the door to join the waitlist. They see their live position and estimated wait from their phone.
Turn Notifications
Guests get an audible alert when it's their turn. No need to carry a buzzer or hover near the host stand.
Lobby Screen
Display the live waitlist on a screen near the entrance. Guests see "Now Seating" and their position without asking.
Peak Hour Insights
Use analytics to understand your busiest hours, average table turns, and no-show rates. Staff accordingly.
Getting Started
