Waitwhile plans offer a range of features that allow you to effectively handle customer flows, enhance wait times, and provide superior visitor experiences in various ways.

Cut the wait times with the world's most powerful queue management flow. Delight customers right from the start by letting them line up virtually and wait from anywhere. Waitwhile’s queue management solution streamlines customer flow with automation, giving your staff more time to serve guests while reducing wait times for customers.

Make it easy to schedule appointments. Waitwhile works in the background while you run the show. Our booking tool automatically updates your calendar, sends automated messages to your guests, and keeps you up-to-date with optional team notification.

Waitwhile also allow you to handle arrivals by helping you optimize the flow of your waitlist and bookings. With these settings, you can customize notifications, arrival statuses, and interactions to suit your business' needs.

Communicate with your guests before, during and after their visits - whether they are joining a line or scheduling an appointment. With Waitwhile you will have the ability to connect with your guests using SMS and email messaging. These include automated messages that are triggered by specific actions, saved replies, as well as the option to send messages directly to a guest.

Services represent the specific offerings that your business provides to customers. These can include appointments, consultations, repairs, or any activity that requires time or resources (staff members). Services help structure your operations by defining the type of interaction customers will have and influencing scheduling, wait times, and resource allocation.

Take the guesswork out of staff & resource distribution. Optimize resource allocation ahead of peak hours and enable your staff to make necessary adjustments when the unexpected happens.

It's not just customers that can get messages with Waitwhile; your employees can get them too! Waitwhile allows you to manage the SMS, Email and Push notifications that are sent to your team based on customers' activity and where they are in the waiting process for both Bookings and Waitlist. The possibilities are endless!

Account overview is an added hierarchical layer in the Waitwhile platform, which makes it possible to manage all locations neatly in one place.

Along with that, it also includes the ability to customize reports, recurring schedule along with being able to manage all users and manage your locations by allowing flexible tagging and grouping.
