What is a virtual waiting room?

A virtual waiting room is your very own webpage that guests are sent to from their initial SMS message when added to the waitlist. It will dynamically display the attendee’s position in line, estimated wait time, time to return, and much more. The best part? This digital real estate is all yours and can be fully customized to match your brand and event goals. You’re in control of the content you upload, giving you the opportunity to design amazing and personalized waiting experiences for your guests. Since it’s web-based, there’s no need for them to download an app.
