Union Waitlist
Union Waitlist is a guest and table management feature for busy bars and restaurants, available through a browser and mobile experience. Guests can join a line, track their position, view the menu, save items, and open a tab before seating with a QR code or NFC. They can order from the bar, request pickup, and earn rewards. Staff see guest names and collected notes, coordinate communication, assign tables, and balance server workloads. When seating is ready, staff can transfer the guest check and notes to the table, including from a tablet, and send a text notification. Union lists integrations with OpenTable, 7shifts, Checkmate, Craftable, DAVO, and Solink. The company describes its venue platform as built for high-volume bars and restaurants and says its demo is suitable for operators with a full liquor license. Union Pocket installs from the App Store and supports iPhone 12 and later. The Waitlist page asks businesses to schedule a demo and does not show a feature price.
