Built for international guests and busy seasons

One arrival page, every department

Guests check in once and can join a queue or make a booking for breakfast, the spa or an excursion, all from the same branded page. No separate system to explain for each department.

One arrival page, every department

Guests wait at the pool, not the lobby

A live wait status on their own phone means guests spend the wait exploring the property instead of standing at the front desk. The first impression improves without adding staff.

Spreadsheet queues or WaitQ: what changes for your team

Badly managed queues damage your property in different ways.

Excel & paper lists

Guests standing at reception

Peak arrivals and checkouts fill the lobby while staff work through them one by one.

Lists in every department

Breakfast, spa and activities each keep their own sheet, so no one sees the full picture

Poor, unpredictable guest experience

Unclear wait times frustrate guests, trigger no-shows on bookings, and hurt reviews.

With WaitQ

Guests wait where they like

Each guest joins a virtual queue and gets a message when the team is ready.

One view of every queue

Managers see waits and bookings across departments on one screen, for complete control of guest flow.

Happier guests = better reviews

Guests know the wait upfront. They explore the property instead of standing in line, and leave happier. That shows in your ratings.

For busy hotels

Give guests their time back, in every department.

Frequently asked questions

Does WaitQ replace our PMS?

No. WaitQ handles queues, bookings and guest lists for guest-facing departments. Room allocation, check-in and billing stay in your property management system.

Can I use WaitQ to run a breakfast buffet queue?

Yes. It's a great use case. Guests join a digital queue by scanning a QR code or entering details at a kiosk and get live wait status on their devices, freeing them to enjoy the property instead of waiting in line. Alternatively you can also enable reservations so that guests pick a time slot in advance.

Does WaitQ has any limit on guests?

No. WaitQ is a flat monthly fee, regardless of how many guests you serve. This includes both queues and bookings. Text notifications are the only usage-based cost.

How do international guests get notified?

Each guest picks the channel they prefer when they join: push notification, text message (SMS or WhatsApp) or email. Your team sends the update in one tap.

Can I have separate queues for different areas of my hotel?

Yes! You can create multiple queues for different areas of your hotel, each managed separately with its own settings and notifications.

Can we use WaitQ across several properties?

Yes. Each property runs from the same account with its own queues and departments. For larger groups, get a custom quote.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Guests join from a QR code or a link in their phone’s browser. They don’t need an app or an account.
