Restaurant Cell Phone Pager Systems the Top 10 Benefits Over Coaster Pagers
Restaurant Coaster Pager have changed the way restaurants manage their waiting lists. Now Restaurant Cell Phone Pagers are the technological evolution in coaster pagers. Before restaurant coaster pagers host staff called out guest names over a PA system or hollered out their names across the bar or lobby. This method was, and still is, inefficient and frowned upon by guests. The development of coaster pagers that blink, beep and vibrate when a table is ready changed the business, now the cell phone did it again. Restaurants no longer needed costly coaster pagers to notify guests when their table is ready. Guests find greater satisfaction using their own personal restaurant cell pager or restaurant text pager, it affords them greater freedom and enjoyment while they wait i.e. apps, games, texting and calls.
Building upon the restaurant coaster pager concepts restaurant cell phone pagers, also known as restaurant text pagers, are becoming popular with guests and with restaurant owners alike. And with good reason, according to blog.socialmobile.com restaurant cell phone pagers offer the following top 10 benefits:
