Wayt

Wayt provides a service that physically holds a place in line for customers at venues such as restaurants, concerts, and product drops, allowing the client to arrive only when the spot is ready. Users select a venue and time through the platform, receive a text notification when the line is held, and then go directly to the venue to be seated without waiting. The service operates in a growing number of U.S. cities and reports average time savings of 45‑90 minutes per booking.

The platform connects three participant groups: customers who pay a flat fee for a guaranteed spot, vetted waiters who are dispatched to maintain the line, and venues that receive pre‑committed patrons and a $5 per booking fee. Real‑time updates, transparent pricing, and a 98 % fill rate are highlighted as core features. Wayt also offers a referral program that pays a percentage of platform fees to users who bring new customers, waiters, or venues onto the service.
