Hi friends,
I’m Albert, the founder of NextaWait, and also a restaurant owner, just like many of you.
I didn’t set out to build an app. I set out to solve a daily frustration in my own restaurant: the waitlist.
Between the paper lists, the shouting over the host stand, and the guests crowding the lobby (or worse, walking out), I knew there had to be a better way. I tried other apps, but most were too expensive. That just didn’t work for my restaurant.
So we built NextaWait:
✅ A simple, SMS-based waitlist
✅ No app downloads
✅ No contracts
✅ Works on any device with internet
Because it’s a Progressive Web App, your staff can run it from a phone, tablet, desktop, or laptop in seconds. Your guests can wait from their car, the bar, or wherever they’re comfortable.
We use NextaWait in my own restaurant every day, and it’s made a huge difference. Less chaos, happier guests, smoother shifts.
We’re offering a free version because I know how tight margins can be. If it helps just one more guest stay instead of walking out, it's worth it.
If you’re a restaurant owner or manager, I built this for you because I am you.
Let me know what you think. I’d love your feedback.
