The sidewalk is full of people asking the door how long. Give them a number and let them grab a drink next door.

They scan the code at the door, get a number, and see how many groups are ahead. You let the next group in from your phone.

Free to start. No card.

What goes wrong for bars and breweries

The door runs on a clipboard and a memory

The bouncer takes names, people wander off, and the order becomes whoever is standing closest.

Trivia and tap takeovers overbook

Twelve tables, twenty sign-ups on Instagram, and a manager apologizing at the door.

Release day is a crowd, not a line

Two hundred bottles, a line around the block since 7 AM, and no way to tell the 201st person to go home.

How it works

Three steps, bars and breweries edition

  1. Pick the ready-made list

    There is one for bars and breweries. Open it, change what you like, and publish. It goes live with the limits and hours a real one uses.

  2. Put the QR code at the door

    Or the link in your bio. People scan it, type their email, and get a number. Nothing to install.

  3. Run the line from your phone

    You see everyone in order. Tap when it is their turn; they get an email. When you are full, the form says so.

This is what your customers see

  • Names are taken Thursday through Sunday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
  • Outside those hours the form shows the next opening time.
  • Asks for name and number of guests (1 to 4).

Why Unwaited

Made for a line, not for a survey

  • A limit per night or per event that starts over on its own. When you are full, the form says so.
  • A number and a page that shows how many are ahead, so people can wait somewhere warmer.
  • Party size and a phone number on the form, and a one-tap email when it is their turn.

FAQ

Questions

Does it text people when their table is ready?

No texts. Send a "your turn" email with one tap, or call the number on their entry. Their own link also shows how many are ahead.

Can I use it for a bottle release?

Yes. Set a total limit for the release and an opening time. The 201st person sees full instead of waiting since dawn.

Do I need to check IDs through it?

No. It takes names and numbers. IDs get checked at the door like always.
