TablesReady
What it is
TablesReady helps restaurants and other queue- or appointment-based businesses manage waitlists, reservations and guest messaging. Guests can check in through staff, a kiosk, SMS, a TablesReady page, a business website or Reserve with Google. Customizable alerts and two-way texting let guests confirm, cancel or respond. Staff can use a visual floor plan to see party statuses, seat parties by dragging them into place and track table turns in real time. The service also serves retail, government, hotels, healthcare, nonprofits and entertainment businesses. Listed connections include Square POS, Reserve with Google, Stripe, Zapier, an API and webhooks. TablesReady offers a native iOS app, a web app for Android and browser access on desktop or laptop. The free plan includes 150 messages per month and up to 100 parties. Paid plans start at $39/mo (annual), and a 14-day trial is listed. Message allowances apply to the US and Canada; other international destinations receive one-tenth as many.
