The waitlist feature maxes out at 60+ mins so you have no idea if you are supposed to wait one hour or four hours. And once it got to 15-30 mins left they told me to check in with the host ASAP cause if they call my name Id lose my space. 30 mins ended up being another 2 hours. Poorly designed way to keep track of your spot, inaccurate wait times ### 1/5 — The few features it has are useless *2023-09-20* - Rewards don’t work. There’s supposed to be a $5 coupon for every $50 spent and I never get any after multiple meals $100+ - Waitlist function is impractical. It used to show your spot in line and updated wait time. It no longer shows either (wait time is available but only “60+ min” and it never updated when the clerk said we were third in line). ### 1/5 — Need to change waitlist ASAP *2023-09-17* Their waitlist system has been bad for years, little did I know it could actually get worse with their newest iteration. We do not complain about things unless they are profoundly dumb and this my friends is the worst. And then the people who work there say sorry it’s not me it’s the bad system- well guess what you’re working for this company so you have to do right by your customer. ### 1/5 — New Waitlist System *2023-08-22* Adjusting my rating from 5 stars to 1 star. The new waitlist system is profoundly terrible. The wait time ranges are useless. At least the previous numbered system made sense, showed you EXACTLY where you are in the queue and you can generally see how fast each number goes by so you could accurately estimate your own wait time. This feature is basically the sole reason I haven’t been in a while. Please switch back. ### 1/5 — AppIs absolutely pointless *2023-07-21* Joining the waitlist on the app and given an estimated wait time thinking we will “ACTUALLY” already be on the waitlist and states you will get a text when it’s ready but, once you arrive you still have to check in and your wait time starts again according to the current wait time at the restaurant and no one is getting any text when table is ready. App is totally useless. ### 1/5 — Waitlist is a lie *2023-06-29* Why even create this app and say you can waitlist remotely? Waited 25 minutes until app texted that our table was ready and to check in with host. Host then explains that the “waitlist” doesn’t actually start until you physically check in even though the restaurant has multiple signs saying you can remotely check in. What is the purpose of even having a digital waitlist in the app like every other restaurant, and then make up different rules once you arrive in person. Or if you want to use different rules, just communicate them to the customer that they must physically check in with host to start the wait time. What a waste of time. ### 1/5 — It has one major function and doesn’t work *2023-06-22* The major use for this app is to add yourself to the waitlist and monitor wait times. Having been unable to select the location makes the app pointless. Also, not empowering employees at the restaurant to add guests manually makes this a frustrating visit even before I get there. Don’t do a waitlist if you don’t want to. But don’t give an option that doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — One of the worst apps I’ve ever used *2023-04-09* I’m talking in the whole history of iPhones, I can’t remember the last time an app has been so useless and frustrating. Since I’ve downloaded it, we’ve gone to different Kura restaurants several times and the waitlist feature has never worked. I’ve had issues with my points updating and there’s nowhere to request help. You can’t access order history anywhere. I mean, really, what is the point of this garbage? Especially for a place that seems to be touting a futuristic technology-friendly vibe, with its robot butler and tablets used for pretty much everything. ### 1/5 — Awful App *2023-03-27* I tried to get on the waitlist today. Can’t put in the location of my Kura because nothing happens when I click on the link for store. It says more locations coming and I can’t get it to work to change it. And the submit button didn’t work. My friend in the car next to me gets us on the waitlist. Go figure. I have never been able to use this app. Worthless. ### 1/5 — This app is a complete joke *2023-03-18* Multiple red flags with this app. There’s no place to make a reservation. When you try to make a reservation or view your spot, there’s no option to select your restaurant. If you call the closest restaurant they’ll tell you to use their website. The website is the same way and they don’t give any explanation for it. The app is notoriously slow and laggy. I hope they fix these issues soon. ## Frequently asked questions about Kura Sushi ### What can I do with the Kura Sushi app?
