The Pain of Eating Out

By: Jerome Germane
 

I have a love hate relationship with my favorite restaurant. Why do they insist on corralling us into a tiny waiting room and keeping us hostage while we wait for our table? I love the food, I hate the wait.

I will give them the benefit of the doubt and say that it is not by design but a result of their success and lack of alternatives. What else are they going to do about it?

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 has been around for several years now, but it hasn't been until recently that we have seen real progress made in the SMS market. There are now a host of applications that SMS utilizes. I have to say that one of the best, is DotLogik's SmartHost Paging. It is a fantastic application that restaurants use to contact its customers when their table is ready. In the past they have used large round or square pagers that light up or buzz when your table is ready. SmartHost eliminates the need for those old style pagers.

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.

The power of SMS and texting is in our hands and DotLogik is using it!
