Hi Product Hunt! 👋
Today we want to share with all of you a product that we’ve been wanting to make for a while. Restaurants are having a tough time with COVID. On the other hand, many places have restrictions on capacity, so waiting to get seated is more common than ever.
We got inspiration from Disney's FastPass. The smaller group of people who want to get seated now can pay a fee to the restaurant and "skip the line". This new revenue stream enables restaurants to stay open in these tough times.
👉 FOR RESTAURANTS
Drop pen and paper or paying for waitlist software and say 👋 to FastPass.
✅ Free forever, no need to pay install or monthly fees.
✅ Runs on any internet connected phone, tablet or laptop.
✅ Let the FastPass payments help you make the next hire or investment you wanted.
👉 FOR GUESTS
Instead of writing your name on a paper or standing on a physical queue, just leave your phone number and you'll get a text with ETA.
✅ If you are on a hurry, you can pay to skip the line and support your local restaurant and community.
✅ If you are not in a hurry, you can wait as usual. You may wait 5 more minutes, but you are not in a hurry.
👉 HOW IT WORKS
📞 Leave your phone number and party size to your host (as usual)
📱 Get an SMS with your queue position
🙋♀️ If you want to skip the line, simply go the checkout link in the SMS and pay
🍽 When your turn is up, just show up and get seated.
😋 Enjoy an amazing experience at your favorite restaurant, knowing that either way you are helping them through tough times
Excited to hear your feedback! Would you pay to skip the line and help your local restaurant? 🙌
@aleixordeig Hi Aleix, I had a look as your website but still left me confused. The way you have explained it Fast pass for X or booked out restaurants makes more sense, it then made the penny drop as so to speak with my understanding.
Haha nice, you should call Dishoom Shoredtich in London, they absolutely need this
Interesting idea! A few things I noticed:
- Why is this not hosted on its own domain name? What is swipepages? Definitely makes it feel less professional and like it might not be around in a few months.
- Some spelling mistakes: "plit 50/50.." etc.
- At the bottom: "What are you waiting?" should maybe be "What are you waiting for?"
- No company info, "About Us," etc. would make me really hesitant to provide bank account info.
- Did you really trademark the term "FastPass?"
product idea for you - instead of for restaurants, make this for ecommerce/saas - there are a ton of apps out there but I don't know of any that allow the person waiting to pay to skip the line
Not a Plunger
