A calmer door

From “how long is the wait?” to one clear answer.

Turnli is designed around the walk-in moments that create the most friction: writing names down, quoting a wait, finding a guest again, and keeping the list moving when the lobby fills up.

Add or self-check in

Hosts can add a party in seconds, or guests can scan a QR and join themselves.

Wait from anywhere

Guests keep their place while they wait nearby instead of crowding the entrance.

Call them back

Mark the party ready, see when they check back in, then assign the best-fit table from the live floor. Their waitlist spot closes as the seating session begins.

Restaurant floor operations

The waitlist and dining room finally work together.

Live restaurant workspaces can map sections and tables, match parties by capacity, combine approved table pairs, track occupied and cleaning states, and keep every host device synchronized.

Guest self check-in

Put the join link on a counter sign, window, website or social profile.

Party-first queue

Track guest name, party size, seating preference and notes in one row.

Live wait estimate

Give incoming guests a useful expectation before they commit to the wait.

Live floor map

Seat parties onto real tables, track cleaning states, and keep the host team synchronized.

Return status

Guests can mark themselves back on-site so the host knows they are nearby.

Simple analytics

Start learning peak periods, wait-to-ready time, no-shows and party flow.

Built for independent operators

No marketplace required to run a better waitlist.

Turnli’s direction is a straightforward operations tool your own guests can use through your link or QR. The business stays at the center of the experience.
