WhatsTheWait.mobi - Find Restaurant Waiting Times

Just the other night I went to a (popular) restaurant with a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time. It was a Friday night and it was packed. We ordered more or less immediately, and 45 minutes elapsed. Those who had arrived after we had occupied our places started being served before we did, and my friend simply stood up, walked to the waiter and told him, “OK, leave it at that, we are going”. We wasted 45 minutes there, and although we had a chance to talk and catch up on what had gone on during the time we hadn’t seen each other, that is beside the point. Had we known about that, we would have headed someplace else to begin with. And a service like this one would have let us known about that.

Basically, What’s The Wait lets you learn everything about waiting times all over the United States. Furthermore, you can read restaurant reviews that come from the Yelp community. The search process is as simple and intuitive as it can be – you just key in the type of food you are interested in or the name of the venue, and then enter the City or State. The resulting information will be sent to your mobile, and hopefully it will let you avoid wasting a lifetime away due to lame service.

“Find and enter restaurant wait times and seating status nationwide! Ever wonder what the current wait time is at your favorite local restaurant? Now you can use this user generated web application on your iphone to search and enter what the wait time is at any restaurant across the nation. Simply enter the type of food your in the mood for or restaurant name, enter the city and state, tap search and a list of restaurants will be displayed.”

There is nothing more aggravating than subpar service and long waits. This service will let you forget about these conundrums.
