Smarter Waitlist Management
Nobody likes waiting in lines.
Don’t make your customers wait in line and risk that they’ll leave and go somewhere else. With SmartWAIT, customers can join the wait list in advance and walk in just in time to be seated.
Even better, Milagro’s all-in-one waitlist and reservation management system is seamlessly integrated with Reserve with Google Waitlist for a more efficient way to manage wait times. Google has a 95% share of the global mobile search engine market–over one billion people use its products and services! Don’t miss the opportunity to offer the convenience of booking a reservation or joining your waitlist right when they find you through Google Search, Maps, or even by asking their Google Assistant.
Personalize guest dining experiences.
View customer data and identify VIPs, highly profitable customers, and regulars the moment they walk in. Such actionable insights allow your staff to make each customer feel special in ways that would be impossible otherwise.
Impress each guest by calling them by name, bumping them ahead of the line, wishing them a happy birthday, and other personalized recognitions. They won’t forget it and will come back for more!
Keep your customers in the know.
Notify customers via text when their table is ready. In the meantime, customers can easily check their spot in line and browse the menu without even downloading an app.

Take Reservations to a Whole New Level
The WOW Factor Starts When They Walk in the Door.
Empower your front of the house staff to personalize each guest experience. SmartWAIT captures information about special occasions, important meetings, or milestone events, allowing staff to actually make each customer visit count.
When it becomes a WOW, they’ll spread the word!
Improve your customers’ experience.
Customers never leave your website. They can make reservations, and while they’re at it, see photos, browse the menu, and check out your loyalty program.
Add Reserve with Google to your website’s reservation page, making it easier for your customers to make reservations and more cost effective for you.
Meet your customer where they are, on Google search, Maps, or Google My Business using the familiar blue button. And avoid the costly fees paid to third party sites like Open Table, Resy, Tok, or Yelp.
Throttle and limit the number of reservations online to pace the flow and ensure proper timing for the optimal guest experience and smooth kitchen operations.
Group reservations, redefined.
Make it easier for your customers to share the reservation right from the confirmation page.
Every time someone accepts and declines, the system automatically updates the reservation count so the restaurant knows how many people to expect and can set the table size accordingly.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when the internet goes down?
SmartWAIT app is cloud-based, a reliable internet connection is required. If the internet is down, you are unable to send any text notifications to your customers.
Your online reservations will continue to be active and once the internet is restored, your tablet will sync.
We do offer a 100% up-time guarantee internet service via our SmartCONNECT in order to solve this problem.
Is there any cover fees for wait list or reservations?
No, we do not charge any fees for cover fees, text messages or other fees.
Your monthly fee is all that you pay regardless of covers.
Does SmartWAIT integrate to POS?
Yes, currently SmartWAIT is deeply integrated into SmartPOS which means once you seat John on table 14 from the SmartWAIT app, SmartPOS knows table 14 is John.
Once John pays and the check is closed, SmartWAIT will automatically know that table 14 is available. You do not need to have someone walk around the restaurant and mark tables as open like the traditional systems like OpenTable, Resi, NoWait and etc.
Does SmartWAIT show customer data to hostess?
Yes, once you type in the area code and the next 3 digits of the phone number, SmartWAIT will automatically find the customer and display the customer Name, VIP status, Allergies and etc so your hostess can personalize the service to each individual customer.

Yes! You can easily limit how far into the future you can accept reservations, the Maximum number of parties per reservation, and maximum reservations per any time slot
