How does it work?

Add to Waitlst

Staff add the Customer to the waitlist, in their favorite device's web browser.
Alternatively... the Customer can self register via a Kiosk or your Website.

Waiting Guest

The Customer chooses where to wait, or you can give them a nudge by sending a suggestion.

SMS Text or Call Phone Paging

Page their phone via SMS Text or Automated Voice Call with a custom message when you're ready to serve them.

Traffic Light Paging Responses

Real Time 2-way page response processing let's you know if they ACCEPT, DECLINE, or advise of a DELAY coming back.

TV display via Big Board

Alternatively... Display the waitlist on a TV and find or announce your Customers when you're ready to serve them.

Guest - Customer Arrives

Customer returns “Just in Time”, you can mark them as arrived/served to clear them from the waitlist.

Estimated wait times are just that - an estimate!

With Second Guest your customers are placed in a holding pattern, you can pull forward or push back their wait time at the touch of a button and your customers are kept updated.  You can then land them at the perfect time to serve them.

Alleviate a common frustration for Customers whilst providing the best experience and giving your business the flexibility you need.

It's a win-win!

Targeted Marketing

Convert Walk-ins: You've spent marketing dollars bringing a walk-in to your business, don't lose them now!  Engage them, retain them, convert them.

Upsell: Leverage the power of suggestion by sending nudges to incentivize incremental sales to your walk-ins (which are no longer anonymous) right before they use your services.

Repeat: Turn them into a repeat customer (even if they declined today) with "come back soon" offers.

Optionally Call your Customers when it's their turn!

They'll hear it, even in a noisy cafe!

Unlike a single beep SMS Text notification, which many other Text only paging solutions rely on to notify the customer when you're ready for them.

​Second  Guest is the only paging solution with a patent-pending interactive robo-call as the Page, meaning you're not left second guessing if the customer  will return!

Pre-Booked Appointments

Check-In

via Kiosk

icon_calendar_websitegrnbk (tiny).png

Second Guest offers an advance booking system for appointments, we also recognize the need to manage the flow of arriving customers some of which will have a pre-booked appointment whilst others won't.

The Self Service Kiosk can be used to manage both, allowing those with a pre-booked appointment to "check in" and provide their appointment time.  We then set the time they can expect to be served to their appointment time, which determines where they appear on the waitlist.

Queue Watcher - Waitlist Monitoring
