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.
#3about 18 min
Wait from anywhere
Guests keep their place while they wait nearby instead of crowding the entrance.
Table readyReturn within 8 min
Call them back
Mark the party ready, see when they check back in, then seat them from the host dashboard. Their Turnli spot closes there—no dining timer.
Restaurant-ready foundation
The simple stuff first. The powerful stuff next.
This prototype focuses on the host stand essentials now, while leaving room for production features like SMS, table matching, reservations, floor plans and POS integrations later.
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.
Pause online joins
Keep your active waitlist while temporarily stopping new online parties.
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.
