Walk-in Waitlist Pricing for Small Business

Two plans for small businesses running a walk-in waitlist. No per-seat fees, no setup costs, no fine print. Switch or cancel any time.

Everything a small business needs: walk-in queue, client profiles, loyalty programs, gift cards, memberships, marketing campaigns, no-show protection and real-time insights.

Billing questions

Is there really a free trial?

Yes — 14 days. A card is required to register, but nothing is charged until the trial ends. If you decide it's not for you, cancel before the trial ends and you'll never be billed.

What is the difference between the Essential and Restaurant plans?

The Restaurant plan includes everything in Essential plus the floor plan module: a drag-and-drop visual floor editor, live table status, server assignment, QR ordering at every table and Stripe Checkout payment at the table. If your business manages physical tables and wants guests to order or pay from their phone, the Restaurant plan is for you.

What happens if my trial or subscription lapses?

The line stops taking new online check-ins until you subscribe. Your staff screen and owner dashboard keep working the whole time, so you're never locked out of your own data.

What if I go over my included texts?

Each location includes 1,000 texts a month. After that, texts are billed at $0.05 each. Only customers who opt in get texts: a confirmation and a "you're up" alert, plus any optional texts you turn on, such as updates as they move up the line.

Can I add locations later?

Yes, any time. New locations are billed at your plan's per-location rate and prorated for the time left in your billing cycle.

Can I switch plans?

Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period.

How do I cancel?

Cancel any time from your billing portal, powered by Stripe. There's no phone call or email required.

What if I have 10 or more locations?

Talk to us about volume pricing and hands-on setup — email [email protected]. Up to 9, just add them from your dashboard.
