WaitQ: the best Waitlist Me alternative for multi-location businesses

Waitlist Me has been a dependable pick for single-location restaurants and salons for years, with a reservations calendar and a free tier that make it easy to start. The friction shows up if your business grows. Every location needs its own subscription, since Waitlist Me's pricing is billed per location, not per business (and only available in 6 countries). Each plan also comes with a capped number of monthly notifications, and once you're over it, every extra text costs $0.02.

WaitQ takes the opposite approach. It's a platform with global coverage. The flat rates for Grow and Business plans already cover multiple locations, so adding a second or third site is not purchasing an entire new subscription. WhatsApp is included on every plan alongside SMS and email, and there's no per-message overage to track.
