We use an app called waitlist.me to organize guests should a wait for tables be necessary.

Steps to use the waitlist app:

• Type a name and group size in for every group.
• Type a cell phone number where they can be reached. Encourage guests to shop downtown as they wait.
• If the guest plans to wait at the front, no phone number is required.
• Mention to large groups that the wait will be shorter if they divide into smaller tables.
• Once a table becomes available, notify the guest with the app. If they do not come in 5 minutes or less, leave them on the list but move to the next group.
• Offer coffee or water to guests as they wait.
• pro-tip: you can swipe with four-fingers on the iPad to toggle between touchbistro and waitlist apps
