The Pain of Eating Out

Is it restaurants intent to make its patrons squeeze into its waiting area and spend their valuable weekend evenings standing with a bunch of strangers in a space so small the fire marshal would shut them down if he had a clue what was going on?

I suspect that this just proves that they are a success and that as a leader or follower I can be sure that I am in the right place on Friday night. 500 people can't all be wrong...can they? How can a restaurant release us from our waiting area prison?

DotLogik Inc. is a new company that has developed a way to eliminate this problem. This truly is a remarkable idea that will save everyone hours of waiting around.

SMS or "texting" as most of the world knows it, is not new technology. However the ability to eliminate old style pagers that you have to carry around is. With DotLogik's SmartHost Paging those clunky pagers are gone.

When a customer walks in to the restaurant they give their cell number to the hostess. Then they are told an approximate wait time. This lets the customer know how long or how far they can go before their table is ready. When their table is almost ready, the customer receives a voice message or text message on their phone. They return to the restaurant and sit down...no standing around or being squeezed out into the bad weather while you wait for a table.

I think this is a great idea and I can't wait to give it a try. I am now free to shop, run errand, sit in my car or ANYTHING that I choose. That is the greatest part. I get to do what I choose rather than what the restaurant chooses. I am no longer confined to the waiting area.

Freedom through texting...I would have never guessed it!
