Most waitlist platforms charge a monthly subscription or a fee per seated cover. QRs.bd takes a different path: a QR-code waitlist with live positions and SMS paging that's free to start, with SMS running on your own provider — so there are no per-guest charges to us.
Make a free Waitlist code, brand it, and print it for the host stand — no contract.
They scan and watch their live place in line. No app, no per-cover fee.
Connect your own Twilio number and text guests at standard rates — no markup.
The waitlist, the live position page and the staff board are free on every QRs.bd plan. There's no per-cover charge and no seat minimum. You bring your own Twilio account for SMS, so the only messaging cost is Twilio's standard per-text rate — paid to them, not marked up by us.
If you never turn on SMS, guests still get a live 'you're 3rd in line' page and you run the whole queue from a tablet for free.
Purpose-built waitlist suites (the Waitly / Yelp Waitlist / TablesReady category) bundle reservations, POS integrations and analytics — powerful, but priced as a monthly subscription or per-cover fee that adds up fast for a small venue.
QRs.bd covers the core job most counters actually need — join the line, watch your spot, get paged — without a subscription. And the same account also gives you QR menus, review QR codes and dynamic short links, so one tool earns its keep across the whole front of house.
Cafés, food trucks, casual restaurants, salons, clinics, pharmacies and repair counters — anywhere guests wait and a full reservations platform is overkill.
If you need deep POS/reservation integrations you may want a dedicated suite. If you mainly need to clear the clipboard and stop buying buzzers, a free QR waitlist does the job today.
Yes — QRs.bd's QR-code waitlist, live position page and staff board are free on every plan, with no per-cover fee. SMS paging runs on your own Twilio account at standard rates.
For venues that mainly need a digital line with SMS paging (not full reservations/POS), QRs.bd is a no-subscription alternative: scan to join, live position, one-tap SMS, plus QR menus and review codes in the same account.
Not to us. The waitlist is free; SMS is billed by your own provider (Twilio) at their standard per-message rate, so you only pay when you actually text a guest.
No. They scan the QR with their phone camera and join from the browser — nothing to install.
Yes. Create one waitlist QR per location and run each board independently; team seats let multiple staff manage them.
Free QR-code queue and live positions. Add your own SMS when you're ready.
