A better way to waitlist
The online waitlist lets guests get in line before they get to your restaurant.

- Discourage crowded waiting areas by allowing guests to join the waitlist remotely

Get discovered and improve the waiting experience
Get seen online regardless of reservation availability, and keep waiting guests engaged and informed.
- Attract walk-in guests on OpenTable and your restaurant website
- Give your guests the freedom and convenience to wait from anywhere
- Provide guests with a real-time place in line, and reduce waitlist abandonment
Easy for your guest to join and your staff to manage
Online waitlist guests appear alongside your in-house parties, for one, easy to view and manage, list.
- Control if and when your waitlist is offered online, and quickly pause online availability.
- See estimated wait quotes for online parties based on the tables in your dining room.
