*  Restaurants

 

*      Innovate the waiting process with a W8TER Automated Communication System.

 

*      Customized messaging is sent directly to a customer’s mobile device.

 

*      Send an automated personal message when the customer is ready to be seated.

 

*      Capture customer information; system doubles as a customer database.

 

*      Send follow-up messaging for customer satisfaction, an invitation to celebrate a special occasion at your establishment, or send a coupon for their next visit.

 

*      Replace the nuisance of a bulky and cumbersome pager.

 

*      Go Green and lessen the amount of promotional material printed on paper.

 

 

*How it works?

 

*      The customer enters your Restaurant.

 

*      Your Hostess enters the Customer Name, Mobile Number and Email Address in to the W8TER System.

 

*      The W8TER System will then automatically send your customer a personalized Thank You Text Message as well as the time their table will be ready.

 

*      If any wait time adjustments are made, the W8TER System will send your customer a personalized message regarding the time change.

 

*      15 Minutes prior (or a time frame you specify), a message is sent to your customer alerting them that their table is approaching its ready time (optional).

 

*      When the Reservation Time/Time Ready is reached, the W8TER System will alert your customer to make their way to the Hostess to be seated.

 

*      The following day your customer will receive a Customer Satisfaction Email regarding their dining experience.

 

*      The W8TER System will automatically send out ‘Come-Back and See Us’ and ‘Discount’ EMAILS at preset time frames you select, if applicable.

 

*      If the customer wishes to WAIT in the Lounge or Waiting Area, they can view when their table will be ready on a W8TER System Display Screen (see below-optional).

 

*      Note: The W8TER System also acts as a Reservation System. You can take a customer reservation and the system will automatically notify them of their reservation date & time.  In addition, the system will provide you with a daily email report of all your current customer reservations (See Daily Reporting).

 

 

*The W8TER Customer Display Screen

 

Keep your customers informed on THEIR WAIT TIME

 

 

    Displayed above is the Customer Q Screen. This screen contains information about all customers; those who are waiting and those who have reservations. Once a customer’s information has been entered in your database, this information is stored. This data retrieval process is a convenience feature designed exclusively to streamline the waiting process. Essentially, the W8TER system doubles as a customer database. Notes about your customers may be entered so your restaurant can cater to specific tastes and preferences.

 

     Customer names are displayed in red, green and black. Customer’s names appearing in black are currently in queue and have received a confirmation of an approximate seating time. A customer name highlighted in green shows that seating time is approaching. Currently, this is defaulted to five minutes prior to seating time however, the time preference is at your discretion. Customer’s appearing in red has received notification that their table is ready. Once a party is seated, simply click on the red check mark to the left of their name. This removes them from the current queue. Removing a customer from the queue does not delete their information from the database. All information is saved for future dining occasions. Once a customer returns to your restaurant, you may look-up their information by mobile number or e-mail address.  All of the customer information fields will be filled in automatically and a date showing their last visit appears.

 

     Your restaurant has the option of installing a video display screen in your waiting area for your customer’s convenience. This is done for two reasons. First, those who choose to opt-out of receiving messages are still kept in queue and visually shown their place in line. Names are shortened for privacy. Secondly, your restaurant has the option of integrating advertising onto this screen. Display specials, new dishes, or featured desserts to entice your customers. Ask our team how the advertising features can bring added revenue to your restaurant by incorporating vendor advertising.
