A very interesting startup, Textaurant can be defined as a waiting list management webapp for restaurants. It enables patrons to wait anywhere they want, and be alerted by text message when they should return to the business.
In actuality, such a service would be suitable for any business that entails 1+ hour waits, and industries such as food service, amusement parks, and even doctors’ offices could greatly benefit from it.
The way this system woks means that you will know when your table is ready directly, and without having to disclose personally identifiable information. A system like this one has true potential to make waiting in line for fear of losing your table a thing of the past. The same goes for doing other things but staying within close range of the restaurant in order to check for availability. Let’s face it, we all have better things to do. This service makes it possible for us to do these things and actually focus on them, not on when to check back again.
As far as restaurants owners go, they are provided a full chance to engage both into pre and post-visit mobile marketing, effectively fostering loyal relationships between them and their customers. And a happy customer is not just a returning customer – it is a customer that brings new customers in.
Accounts can be created for free though the site. A form is provided for you to fill it in and you can also request to become a user by e-mail.
