Run your floor from the host stand. Reservations, waitlist, walk-ins, and table moves — all in one app, in sync with your whole team. This is the staff app for restaurants that use TableLink. Sign in, pick your restaurant, and you're running the shift. See the whole floor at a glance. Drag a party onto a table to seat them. One tap marks a table dirty, then open again for the next turn. Take reservations and walk-ins in seconds. Combine two tables for a 10-top, split them back when the party leaves. Run the waitlist from the floor. Quote a wait, then text the guest the moment their table's ready. No buzzers, no shouting across the lobby. Text guests both ways. Confirmations, "your table is ready," and their replies all land right at the host stand. Everything updates live. Seat a table on one device and every other one sees it instantly — host, manager, server station, all on the same page. Works on iPad at the stand and on iPhone in your pocket when you step away from it. Built for the way a floor actually runs on a Friday night: fast, with your hands full, no time to fight the software. Set up your account at tablelink.app. Build your restaurant there, then sign in here to run service.
