"Simple but powerful tool for customer service at IKEA"

5/5

What do you like best about Waitwhile?

I love how easy it is to use Waitwhile and it seems to get better every year! In addition to alerting us to customer presence, Waitwhile also allows us to communicate efficiently with our customers via text. I can't wait to see what other features are implemented in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waitwhile?

It would be terrific to include a barcode/QR code scanning feature in Waitwhile. We deal with six-digit strings of numbers that are cumbersome to type in to our devices from Waitwhile. A QR code would dramatically shorten times for us as well as provide improved functionality for co-workers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Waitwhile solving and how is that benefiting you?

Aside from favorable interactions, our customer satisfaction depends on the speed and efficiency by which we are able to serve them. Waitwhile helps us communicate with our customer via text and alerts us to their presence in a timely fashion. Now that a serve/complete button has been implemented, I love that we no longer have to toggle between "Now Arrived" and "Now Serving" cues to click customers through.

"Essential Tool for Customer Order Notifications"

5/5

What do you like best about Waitwhile?

I use Waitwhile because it's incredibly easy to enter the customer information into, and the edit feature comes in handy when adding new order numbers to an existing wait. It really helps since our customers often place more than one order by purchasing in different departments of our store. Adding additional order numbers alerts our staff to gather all orders for the customer before telling them to come to the collection point. Also, the initial setup was just creating a login, easy peasy. For my purposes, Waitwhile does exactly the job I need it to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waitwhile?

I'm not sure if the staff who prepare orders get notified when we edit their Waitwhile system, or if when they go to submit a prepared order as ready to collect they see the edits and need to begin gathering at that time which could delay the customers collection of their multiple orders.

"Effective Appointment Scheduler with Great Customization"

5/5

What do you like best about Waitwhile?

I like that Waitwhile helps in scheduling customers for appointments and sending them reminders, especially for appointments made far into the future. It's great for managing different resources and their availability, which is really useful since we have several people working in our company. Each resource can have their own appointment book, time, and even color, which makes it easy to differentiate them. I also found the initial setup of Waitwhile to be very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waitwhile?

I don't like the limitation of characters, as it forces me to break the communication into parts. It would be nice to have a higher character limit. It also doesn't allow us to send any 'domains' like our email addresses to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Waitwhile Makes Managing Appointments and Queues Effortless"

5/5

What do you like best about Waitwhile?

Waitwhile is great for managing many appointments and ensuring that all of the people I need to help get served. It makes it easy to quickly spin up a queue and begin meeting with people who need a hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waitwhile?

The only thing I dislike about Waitwhile is that I cannot resize the columns in the board view on my Visits page, as the would help keep everything in view. There is a table view that kind of solves this, but I prefer the board view while having an open queue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy QR Waitlist Sign-In with Great CRM and Analytics"

5/5

What do you like best about Waitwhile?

We’ve really enjoyed the real-time waitlist functionality, resource-based assignment, and automated client notifications. For a multi-barber, walk-in shop, the ability to assign clients to individual barbers and send alerts has significantly improved flow and reduced confusion compared to a manual system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waitwhile?

One area for improvement would be enhancing the multi-guest registration experience. In walk-in environments, families often forget to register each person separately. A built-in “Register Another Guest” button on the status page could help streamline that process and reduce staff intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly Interface That Streamlines Operations, Just Missing Link Sharing"

5/5

What do you like best about Waitwhile?

I really enjoy the user friendly interface. It has helped our shelter to streamline our operational processes across multiple departments, which has greatly reduced our wait time and improved the customer experience. The software also provides extremely helpful metrics that help us to identify areas of improvement as well as highlight the areas in which we are doing very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waitwhile?

I have yet to identify any glaring downsides. It would be nice to be able to SMS or email outside links to customers as we currently can only send messages but not links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Waitwhile solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are utilizing WaitWhile in an animal shelter in which we have multiple different departments servicing customers from one check-in station. This means we have multiple employees servicing different customers at different times in the same general area. WaitWhile has enabled us to track these customers through the entire process simultaneously for all departments and even down to the employee level determine our efficiency and effectiveness.

"Intuitive UI, Effortless Appointment Management"

5/5

What do you like best about Waitwhile?

I find Waitwhile incredibly easy to use with an intuitive user interface. As a tool for our day-to-day operations, I've encountered zero issues. I particularly appreciate the drag and drop feature and the columned setup, which makes it easy to view different stages of the appointment process. It's very easy to edit and create submissions. The initial setup was super easy, and I managed without any tutorials, though it's comforting to know they're available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waitwhile?

For my specific role, it would be helpful to see more details concerning device issues, warranty status, protection status and IMEI information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Visually Pleasing and Effortlessly Functional"

5/5

What do you like best about Waitwhile?

I love that you can toggle to the monthly view to get a bigger overview of what to expect for appointments throughout the year. The interface is very visually pleasing, and I love the check marks feature that lets us know if someone has confirmed their appointment, or if a guest has completed their appointment or is being served currently. The initial setup of Waitwhile was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waitwhile?

I'm not sure what data is being picked up from the source, but it would be nice to see the same information that makes up the initial questions that ask the guests why they are coming in. Knowing things like IMEI, which device they're bringing in, and what exactly the issue is would be nice to know. Being able to see all the data that the customer enters to set up their appointment.

"Effortless Communication and Time Saver"

5/5

What do you like best about Waitwhile?

I like how I don't have to schedule live meetings with couriers, which saves me a lot of time. Organizing online meetings through Waitwhile is really easy and convenient for both me and the couriers. Also, the initial setup of Waitwhile was very easy and only took a few minutes, with no issues or complications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waitwhile?

Honestly, in the beginning, I did have one problem with Waitwhile. The chat feature in the meeting wasn't working well. It was supposed to send an automatic message to the courier with the meeting link from Google Meet, but it wasn't working. So I just started doing it manually, and the problem was resolved.

"Intuitive system, with good management and customer support"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Waitwhile?

The system is quite intuitive and easily accessible, and the management tools provide a good view of the results. Additionally, customer support is good, and the technology helps, during times of high demand, to better organize the flow of incoming customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waitwhile?

It would be important to improve the dashboard panel and provide more complete and complex reports, especially those involving service time, and based on these times, issue estimated wait time alerts to customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
