Guest lists that replace the clipboard at the door

Open sign-ups online, keep your list organized, and check guests in without the chaos at the door.

What are guest lists on WaitQ?

Guest lists are different than queues or appointments. They're registering ahead of a fixed event, opening, or session and expect to be recognized and let in when they arrive.

Easy online registration

Add your sign-up link to invitations, social posts, or your website.

Guests add their details

Guest enter their details and you get a real-time headcount status.

One tap to check-in

Search a name, welcome them personally and tap to check in.

Guest lists by the host rules

You decide who can sign up, when, and how many guests a list holds. WaitQ turns those rules into a simple, mobile-friendly sign-up experience.

  • Multiple list support
    Run separate lists for different guest types, sessions, or areas, all from one dashboard.
  • Custom registration fields
    Collect more than just names. Add the fields you need, from party size to a plus-one.

Where guest lists earn their keep

Hotel breakfast, arrivals and events

Wedding blocks, conferences, group bookings. Coordinate arrivals from one shared list.

Store openings and launches

Personal shopping for VIP clients, retail launches, press previews.

Private dining and tastings

A chef's table, a wine tasting, a holiday party booked as one block freeing up your reservation system.

Classes and workshops

Drop-in yoga classes, tastings, guided tours. Cap the list at the number your space or instructor can handle.

Open houses and community events

Town halls, fairs, activations, pop-up markets, internal company events. Get a real headcount before doors open.

Door lists for clubs and venues

Replace the paper list and the screenshot passed between phones with one list your door staff can search from any device.
