OTF StandBy (Waitlist System)
Revolutionizing Waitlists for Restaurants
OTF StandBy, an innovative feature by OTF POS, takes the hassle out of waiting for a table at your favorite restaurant. Upon arrival, guests provide their name and phone number to the host, who enters them into the OTF StandBy system. The waiting list is then displayed on a TV screen at the restaurant’s entrance. When a table is ready, customers receive an SMS notification, allowing them to wait comfortably in their car or any location they choose. No more crowded lobbies or long lines—just a seamless dining experience.
