Q Host Restaurant App - A Smarter Way to Manage Walk-Ins, Waitlists & More

Tired of constant phone calls asking "Do you take reservations?" or “How long is the wait?”. Want to pull in more customers from Google and your website to arriving at your front door?
The Q Host App equips your front-of-house team with the tools to manage guest flow efficiently, reduce lobby congestion, and deliver a smoother, more professional guest experience.
Built for first-come, first-served restaurants, Q replaces outdated methods with modern, intuitive technology-designed by people who’ve worked in restaurants and understand the pace of service. The app runs on iPad and includes built-in training so your team can be up and running in under 20 minutes.

Core Features:

2-Way Text Messaging
Add guests to the waitlist, notify them when their table is ready, and receive confirmation they’re on the way-keeping operations flowing and lobbies clear.

Customizable Table Maps
Build and manage your floor plan in-app. Track table status, mark check-downs, block sections, and monitor real-time capacity.

Server Section Management
Assign tables by server, track guest counts per section, and automate fair rotation.

Analytics & Trends
View past wait times and party data to identify trends and improve staffing and planning.

Online Guest Access
Through the free Q Waitlist Guest App, customers can view availability and add themselves to the list from home-no more phone calls or crowding the host stand.
