Features
HostConcepts® is an all-inclusive solution for restaurant table and waitlist management.
Manage your waitlist, track reservations, and optimize table and server management with ease. Stay connected to your guests via text. Add a JTECH Guest Paging system to ensure you stay connected to all your guests via their preference, while keeping guests nearby - perhaps at the bar?
With HostConcepts, easily manage your front of house and provide the best guest experience with the flexibility to choose the features that meet your business' needs.
Text guests a reservation reminder 24 hours in advance and send texts when their table is ready.
Add a TAP-AHEAD™ link to your website or mobile app to enable guests to conveniently add themselves to your waitlist. Ideal for restaurants, pharmacies, salons or anywhere that could benefit from automating the task of adding clients to a waiting list or having them stand in line just to be added to a list.

Reduce no-shows, voicemails and follow-up calls and keep your team focused on serving guests.
Table Tracking

Quickly assign servers to sections, pre-plan staff shifts, track server rotation and view table history.
