For businesses that need powerful, yet affordable wait list apps, it can take a lot of time to sort through all the options out there. Which features should you look for? How do you know which one is best for your business?
We know there are a lot of questions. That’s why we’re breaking down how to choose the best wait list app for your business based on certain factors, like features, pricing, usability, and more.
Easy setup
Introducing new technology can be tricky for businesses to navigate, especially those who aren’t comfortable in that area. Find a wait list app that’s easy to set up and integrate so it’s one less hurdle you have to face. Not to mention – if it’s easy to set up, it’s likely easy to use.
Setting up FlexBooker Pro wait list app is super simple and only takes minutes. Here’s how it works:
- Enter your business’ capacity
- Estimate how long customers spend there
- Start adding customers to the wait list!
The more you use the app, the better it will get at estimating wait times for your business.
Capacity tracking
Keeping tabs on capacity is important for any business, but it’s especially crucial during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. A lot of businesses currently have capacity limits, and knowing exactly how many people are inside (and how many more are waiting) helps with crowd control and social distancing. The FlexBooker wait list app lets you do exactly that. Plus, if you’re allowing advanced reservations, you can keep tabs on those, too.
Reservations on your terms
It’s no secret that juggling current customers, wait lists, advanced reservations, and walk-ups is incredibly tricky and time-consuming. FlexBooker Pro’s integrated system lets you decide the types of reservations you want to accept (and when you want to accept them), then does the heavy lifting for you. With FlexBooker Pro, you can:
- Set and update the hours you’ll accept reservations
- Choose whether you want to allow advanced reservations and/or walk-ups
- Set capacity limits on people (per time slot)
If at any point you need to increase or scale back these details, no problem! All you have to do is change your settings in the app and you’ll be good to go.
Streamlined communication
The best part of a wait list app is communicating directly with customers instead of wandering aimlessly through crowds and calling out names. This is especially important now to help maintain social distancing. Through the FlexBooker Pro wait list app, you can message customers directly to let them know:
- How long their wait time is
- When you’re ready for them
- When they’re allowed to enter your business (due to COVID-19 restrictions)
