Front of house

Where HETable fits

Best for restaurants where the front door is your biggest bottleneck — or where you currently run reservations, waitlist, and seating on three different tools.

Common search question: Restaurant host stand software, restaurant waitlist software, restaurant reservation software, and floor plan software.

Best-fit path

Review the guest path from arrival to table transition.

Start with the front-door queue, then the live room, then the seated guest transition so the host stand stays focused.

Start the guest path

Reservations, walk-ins, and waitlist flow should enter one live front-door picture.

Choose from the live room

Hosts need table states, sections, pacing, and room balance before making the next seating decision.

Finish with a clear table transition

The guest path should end with a real table transition, not a guess or a paper note.

Workflow path

How HETable moves the work

Follow the work in the order operators feel it: what starts the workflow, what the app controls, and what should transition cleanly to the next part of the restaurant.

Start with one front-door picture

Reservations, walk-ins, waitlist, table states, section balance, and pacing feed one live host view.

Seat from the room as it changes

Hosts can use floor state, clear-table flow, smart assignment, kiosk routes, and guest communication to make the next decision.

Support the connection after seating

The table assignment can connect to server visibility, guest assistance, ratings, reports, and integration paths instead of ending as a paper note.

Front-door tour

From arrival to seating decision.

HETable connects reservations, waitlist, live floor status, kiosk paths, and guest assistance so the host stand sees the room as it changes.

Operator outcomes

Accurate quoted waits — no more guessing

Guests texted automatically when their table is ready
