## What is Tempo?

Skip the line. Tempo shows live, crowdsourced wait times at restaurants, bars, and cafes near you — real check-ins from people in line, never a made-up number.

HOW IT WORKS

Tempo combines live, on-the-ground reports from the community with busy-hours data for venues nationwide. When you visit a spot, check in and report the crowd level. Your report helps everyone else plan — and earns you points on the leaderboard. The more people check in, the sharper the live picture gets.

REAL-TIME WAIT TIMES
See current wait estimates and how busy a place is right now, updated by real people on the scene.

VENUE INTELLIGENCE
Every venue page is packed with useful info: current wait, capacity level, best time to go, hourly busyness charts, parking availability, nearby events that might affect crowds, and community tips.

LIVE ACTIVITIES
Track wait times right from your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Start tracking a venue and watch the wait update without opening the app.

CHECK IN & EARN POINTS
Report crowd levels in seconds. Earn points for every check-in, build streaks, unlock achievements, and climb the leaderboard.

TRENDING & DROPS
See what's hot right now: trending venues, busiest neighborhoods, and the biggest wait-time drops. Find the spot that just cleared out before everyone else does.

SMART ALERTS
Set a wait-time threshold on any venue and get notified the moment the wait drops below your target. Never miss the perfect window.

COMMUNITY CHAT
Share tips, photos, and real-time updates with other people at the same venue.

PARKING INTEL
Community-reported parking at every venue: street, lot, garage, or valet, with cost estimates and difficulty ratings.
