A Deeper Look at Key Functionalities

Let’s explore the three cornerstone features that make the Kiosk Module an indispensable tool for any modern restaurant using Tabletrack.

Self-Service Walk-in & Waitlist Management

Imagine your busiest Friday night. Instead of a crowd huddling around the host stand, guests can approach a sleek tablet kiosk. With a few simple taps, they can join your waitlist by entering their name, party size, and phone number.

The system intelligently captures this information and adds it directly to your Tabletrack waitlist in real-time. It provides guests with an estimated wait time, giving them transparency and freedom. This single feature dramatically reduces congestion at your entrance and empowers your staff to manage the floor more effectively.

Automated Guest Notifications (SMS/WhatsApp)

The days of shouting a guest’s name across a noisy dining room are over. The Kiosk Module for Tabletrack integrates with your notification settings to create a seamless communication loop. Once a guest is on the waitlist, the system takes over.

When their table is ready, your host simply marks them as ready in the Tabletrack system, and an automated SMS or WhatsApp message is instantly sent to the guest’s phone. This professional touch enhances the guest experience, prevents missed tables, and allows you to turn tables faster. It gives your patrons the freedom to browse nearby shops or wait in your bar area without fear of losing their spot.

QR Code Check-in for Ultimate Convenience

In today’s touch-free world, QR codes offer the ultimate in convenience and safety. The Kiosk Module can display a prominent QR code that acts as a gateway to your guest management system. Guests with reservations can scan the code to check in instantly, confirming their arrival without touching the kiosk screen.

Furthermore, walk-in guests can scan the same code to access the waitlist form on their own mobile device. This is perfect for maintaining social distancing or for restaurants that want to offer a completely contactless arrival process. It’s a simple yet incredibly powerful feature that shows your commitment to a modern, customer-centric experience.
