Waitlist management that just works

OpenWaitlist is a free, self-hostable waitlist app for restaurants — customer kiosk, staff dashboard, and SMS alerts. Free to start on your own, or book a call to have Privoce handle on-premise deployment for you.

Interactive demo runs in your browser. Full deployment with database and SMS available on Vercel. For on-premise setup, book a call.

Everything you need

From the host stand to the guest's phone — free to start, with optional on-premise service from Privoce.

Customer kiosk

A touch-friendly iPad screen for guests to join the waitlist — name, phone, party size, done.

Staff admin

Search, filter, and manage the queue. Notify guests, check them in, seat parties, or cancel.

SMS & progress links

Guests get a text with a private link to check their place in line, plus a ping when their table is ready.

Free to start

Deploy yourself on Vercel or run locally at no cost. Need help? Privoce offers on-premise setup and support.

Guest progress link

Every guest gets a private link to check their place in line — sent by SMS or shown after they join. Share it, text it, or embed it on your site.

Staff manages

Your team tracks the queue, sends table-ready texts, and seats parties.

Guest returns

They get an SMS when it's their turn and show their number to the host.
