Illustration of the guest page. No app to install.

A waitlist guests follow on their own phone. Fair: called early? There’s a reason on record. Visible: everyone sees their place. Yours: no commission, no marketplace, your guests stay yours.

01 · How it works

One QR at the door. One phone at the host stand.

Guests join from their own phone. Your team runs the line from one Android phone. Scroll through a table for two.

01 Join · guest

Scan the QR. Name, number, party size.

Nothing to install. The guest gets a token like A7 and a page that stays live on their phone.

02 Wait · guest

Wait anywhere. Watch the line move.

“2 parties ahead of you”, updated live, within their table size. They can take a walk and keep their place.

03 Call · staff

Call or WhatsApp in one tap.

The chat opens on the host phone with the message typed and your menu link. Staff press send, so guests hear from you, not from us.

04 Fair · staff

Calling someone early? The app asks why.

Order runs within each table size. If staff call A7 before A5 and A6, the app asks for a reason and records who was passed.

Most waitlists are a clipboard and a guess. Vardivo is a line your guests can see on their own phone, with a reason on record when staff call someone ahead of the line.

02 · Fair & yours

A fair line that stays yours.

No marketplace between you and your guests. No commission on your tables. Just the line, run well.

Reason on record

Every early call is written down.

When staff call a party ahead of others in the same table size, the app asks why and records who was passed. Fair is something you can check.

Your tables 0%

Commission on your tables.

We never take a cut of a bill, and there’s no discount for you to fund.

Messages

Sent from your host phone.

Messages go out from the WhatsApp on your host phone, with your menu link. Run your restaurant’s WhatsApp on it and guests hear from you. We don’t charge per message.

Privacy

Deleted after 30 days.

When a visit is finished, Vardivo deletes the guest’s name and number from the waitlist 30 days after they joined. We don’t sell guest data or show ads. The privacy page covers the details, including the one exception.

Ownership

Not a marketplace.

Your QR, your door. Guests see your restaurant’s page while they wait, not a list of other places to eat.

04 · Why the wait matters

Guests review the wait too.

The half hour before the first plate sets the mood the food arrives in. And for independent restaurants, ratings move revenue.

Published study5–9%

more revenue for an independent restaurant from one extra Yelp star. Chains showed no significant effect.

Luca, Harvard Business School, 2016
Published study+19 pts

more often sold out at prime time with an extra half star on Yelp.

Anderson & Magruder, The Economic Journal, 2012

These are published studies, not Vardivo results. A fair, visible line takes one complaint off the table; the food still has to earn the stars.

Questions owners ask

Do guests need to download an app?

No. They scan the QR and use the page in their phone’s browser.

Does the staff app work on iPhone?

The staff app is on Android today. Guests can use any phone.

What if a guest has no smartphone?

Staff add them to the line by hand from the staff phone. They keep their place like everyone else.

How much does it cost?

We agree pricing with each restaurant when you request access, based on your door and how busy it gets. We never take a commission on your bills.

Can WhatsApp messages go out automatically?

Planned. Ask us when you request access. Today staff send from the host phone in one tap.

Who sees guest numbers?

Your staff, on their enrolled phones. When a visit is finished, Vardivo deletes the guest’s name and number from the waitlist 30 days after they joined. The privacy page has the details, including the one exception.
